Replica Watch Review of Panerai Luminor North Pole GMT PAM252
I own 10 replica watches by far. But I never posted a review before. Now I think it is due time to starting writing watch reviews. The first watch reviewed here is a replica Panerai Luminor North Pole GMT PAM252. I hope this mini review can bring you some useful information.
To begin with, I would like to introduce the genuine piece. Launched in 2006, it was meant to commemorate a successful North Pole expedition by Mike Horn. Officine Panerai made it a limited edition of just 500 pieces.Beating inside is an OP Cal. VIII which is , basically, is a ETA7750 with date and GMT complication. In modern Panerai history, it is one of the most sought after models.
The first replica version emerged several months after the watch watch was released. And the one reviewed here appeared much later and was greatly impoved than the earliest version. It is fitted with an Asian 7750 hi beat rate with GMT and date complications.
The biggest appeal of the watch(for me ) is the dial. It dresses beautiful dark matte blue color. It is too dark that you may mistake it as dark grey/black colour in certain light condition. And thanks to single-sided AR coating, the dial and datewheel do not suffer to much reflection. Overall, the dial is pretty attractive to look at.
The datewheel has a black background and correct bold white numbers on it. The magnification looks very good on this model.The readability of this watch is also very good. It has uncluttered design despite the presence of extra GMT hands. The silver hands go well together with the dark blue dial. The presence of C3 coloured lume blends very well too. However, the lume is as expected. It has standard replica lume. It’s brighter than some other Panerai reps but this is nowhere near the genuine C3 Superluminova.
The bezel has a solid 60 clicks. It centres properly and doesn’t wobble. The cut of bezel teeth and the markers are done very well.
Crown guard and crown aren’t that bad either. The crown is pretty well made on this piece. The CG is also good. The edge of the crown guard is cut very well. Sharp but won’t cause injury.
The case and the caseback are also very well made on this piece. It’s infact one of the best around in rep Panerai world. Engraving is very nice on the caseback and pretty accurate to the genuine.T he polished part is very accurate but the BB number should be located just above the serial number (I009/500), not beside it. It doesn’t have spelling mistake. Here it has correct polished and brushed parts as well as correct spelling.
The strap is not bad at all. It is of different quality than old replica Panerai rubber strap. This one doesn’t attract dust and softer than the old rep rubber strap. The deployant locks the strap perfectly and pretty easy to operate too.
The movement is so far so good, winds pretty smoothly with accuracy of +10 secs a day when worn on the wrist.
In conclusion, The watch is very well copied though with a few flaws. When worn on the wrist, it produces a great deal of presence. It feels like a high end watch as well. I highly recommend to this watch if you are on the market for a good replica Panerai watch.
