Panerai PAM01288 VS Factory Submersible Replica Watch QC pictures what to check

When I get a QC pic, the first thing I look at is where the case meets the strap. VS factory build is solid, but assembly tightness varies a bit per watch. The lug-to-rubber gap should be almost nonexistent — if it’s big, assembly was sloppy. Also, the lume pip at 12 on the bezel must line up dead center. Even a little off shows easily. Pass these two, and the rest is usually fine.

QC lume looks dark — is that bad?

Actually that’s a good thing. Panerai Submersible PAM01288 VS Factory Replica Watch uses a light yellow aged lume to copy the old-Panerai oxidized look. It looks dark in normal light. Ask the seller for a lume shot after strong light — if it’s bright and even, the coating is good. If the QC shows bright white lume, that’s a cheap version, and you’ll be disappointed in hand.
