VSF PANERAI SUBMERSIBLE WRONG XSTAL ISSUE( SAY GOODBYE TO AMPLIFY EFFECT XSTAL)

Hi guys

today I bring the good news for all Panerai lover


as we know the new collection submersible rep by vsf have the wrong xstal.
I love the 42mm submersible but the crystal with amplify effect is disturbing me a lot
There is a watch modder just develeped the right cystal basing the vsf submersible case, I purchaed a few xstal for test and my watch smith replaced for me. ​​​​​​​ Lets see the review that I did this is my pam960 after replacing xstal

there is no amplify effect any more hahaha

the xstal comes with no Ar coating just like gen.


then will be the new titanium 47mm test






now, I searched on the internet about how is the gen watch look like




Any opinion of Paneristi?




Cheers


Gustavo

looks good, where do you get them from?, will be a big improvement for sure if it has got rid of the fisheye effect,

That looks promising. Seems to have more of the beveled edge compared to the gen, at least the ones I've seen, but it's a start in the right direction. :)

I checked and took photos for my friend's 616 ( gen) it also have so call fish eye effect.

yes, pam 616 is the reason why all new submersible rep goes wrong crystal..

fish eyes effect xstal is the correct crystal for old submersibles also like pam508

No need to replace crystals on newest vsf pams. Vsf upgraded crystals on newest batches of their panerai submersible replicas. Newest crystals look great.
But all of them still has the fisheye effect, hasn't?

Hey, rcom440

doc_strange And I we’re just talking about the fisheye on the 985 and 984. Does that include those models?

I compared them to pre Covid-19 released submersibles and crystals are completely refined, no fish eye and they are more clear. They are using quality crystals in new batches.
