Here we are in the 2023 year and a couple of new replica watches are released. I don’t know about you, but for us here at AAAReplica, the year seems to have started pretty fruitfully. We got a new release of replica watches. It’s specifically about the Iron Man AP and the Pam Submersible. I wish we received these watches before the New Year because customers were asking about them and these could have been great gifts for loved ones. But, we have what we have and I’m pretty excited knowing that these watches come in an improved version in comparison to the previous iterations. At least, that’s what the replica factory promised us. Leaving aside the regrets and the excitement, let’s take a closer and more objective look at these two fabulous models.
Audemars Piguet Royal Oak 1017ALYX 9SM replica watch
I called this watch “Iron Man” because its overall look is as clean and as “metal” as the famous movie hero is. The watch is all stainless steel “from head to toe”. Even if it’s a custom-made piece, it still preserves the classic and unmistakable Royal Oak octagonal bezel. Manufacturers couldn’t omit it, as it would have been a huge mistake.
The dial is pretty compelling. While some customers might say that something is missing from it, I do like it a lot. It has no hour markers on it; Only a super clean and flawless dial with the hands beautifying the face of the watch. In addition, there is a date window at 3 o’clock looking as clean and minimalist as the whole dial view.
What can I say? This dial conveys a feeling of fresh air, to be honest. Possibly, I got a little bit tired of the intricate watch designs lately, and that’s why this watch visually comforts me so much. Either way, this piece would be a great option for those who seek minimalism at the highest level possible.
Additional Specifications
I think it’s needless to mention how heavy this watch feels on the hand. This is due to the stainless steel density and that’s a great thing. Lightweight imitations are no good at all, as they speak about the poor quality of the replica. With this model, I even couldn’t expect otherwise, because the factory that supplies it to us has previously made really beautiful AP imitations. So, I was sure that this time, it would hit again. I only wanted it to improve the finishing of the replicas a bit, as the previous models seemed like lacking a final finish touch.
From what I see in this imitation, it seems that the factory heard my prayer, and here it is, an impeccably finished Royal Oak. I keep on touching every single corner and edge of the case and bracelet to find any potential scratch feeling. But, no, I can’t find any of those.
Technically…
I like how the bezel integrates into the watch case. It is compact, strict, and fits perfectly. In addition, I was surprised to hear that the manufacturer has integrated a super clone 3120 movement into the imitation. That’s great news because I totally trust this movement. I’ve tested a couple of replicas running on this movement and I must say that it is at the top of my technical preferences for a replica watch. To admire every single component of the movement, you can just look through the display window from the bay of the watch.
On the whole, I’m completely satisfied with this beauty and I’m more than happy to notice how replica factories improve their skills with every new release. It’s needless to convince you about the necessity of having a Royal Oak in your watch collection. An Audemars Piguet timepiece is always a compliment to any watch collection, even if it is a replica one. This model is particularly fabulous for watch enthusiasts who want a drop of uniqueness on their wrists. Super clean, highly minimalist, and particularly attractive, this imitation is just a gorgeous accessory.
Pam 1288 Submersible eSteel replica watch
To be honest, I usually have pretensions to Panerai replica watches. Better said, to the factories that make them. Every release comes with either a great movement, but with a defective design, or vice versa. There have been rare occasions when both the technical profile and the design aspect satisfied my expectations. So, to be honest, I don’t know what exactly to expect from this imitation, but sure, my expectations aren’t high at all.
The good thing is that the factory that supplied us with this Pam 1288 is the only one producing reliable super clone P.900 and P.9010 movements. I know that from the previous imitations it made for us. As far as I’m concerned, this factory is also the one that provides its movements to other replica factories, but at higher prices. So, the good point in this scheme is that we get these imitations at a pretty affordable price, unlike other dealers that pay much more for them. Thus, the idea is that we get great quality at a comparatively cheaper price than other stores do. So, be careful with other dealers’ offers. Most probably, they sell the same watch but at a significantly spicier price.
Additional aspects
The Pam 1288 Submersible comes in the same diameter that all the previous Pam received since September 2022. That is to say, the watch is 44mm. The case of the imitation features a smooth brushing which reflects on the watch bridge as well. The ceramic bezel spots some studded markers on it, all of them being of stainless steel. Matter-of-factly, these studs contribute to the overall design, making the watch look more sophisticated and intriguing.
All the markers and hands come with a super lume coating. I must admit that I’m impressed with how this lume looks in the dark. It provides a bright and clear light, making the watch look beautiful in dark circumstances. I tried to find out what material the manufacturer used for the lume coating. No one told me a thing, invoking the NDA reason. Either way, the lume looks impressive. I only wonder how it will behave over time. I might suppose that its bright effect won’t last as long as o the genuine model. But, these are just my subjective suppositions.
Technically…
The imitation runs on a super clone P.900. As I mentioned before, I totally trust this movement from this manufacturer. All the Panerai imitations running on this type of movement have performed flawlessly. These furnish remarkable accuracy and have a longer lifespan in comparison to other movements. Also, this mechanism has registered the lowest service rate, which is a highly comforting aspect for most replica watch lovers.
Additional particularities
The strap of the watch is an attractive design element. At least, for me. I just love it. Even if it’s a nylon strap, it looks fabulous, expensive, and engaging. What I like the most about it is that it mixes comfort and aesthetics. To provide comfort, manufacturers have added leather to the interior side. On the exterior, the strap looks and feels soft, coupling perfectly with the watch chromatics.
Bottom line
These two replica models made our New Year start highly promising. There is little to criticize in these watches and few to improve in their next iterations. Both technically and aesthetically, these imitations are in great shape. It only remains to decide upon the model. For a sporty and versatile vibe, the Panerai imitation is a great day-by-day option. For a little sophistication and a sense of fashion, the Audemars Piguet imitation would be the right way to go.
