Panerai 111 XF and VSF ?

[Mercatino]

New to reps and reading as much as I can; my desire is PAM111.

Noob was listed as Super Rep NWBIG, but of course they are long gone.

Are VSF and XF considered the same? I have also read that XF and VSF is the same
company/factory?

Welcome to the forum & enjoy the reading - there is much to educate yourself on if your goal is to own the 'best' replica of particular models.

If you are looking for the best, then you should camp out in the M2M sections of the 3-4 rep forums and wait for an early Noob V3/V4 to pop up. Note that the most recent 'Noob' 111 V11(late) /V12 versions are not as good. Even in the good years Noob would sometimes take a half step backwards with a new version - it's all documented if you search.

XF / VSF are technically the same.

Ciao and welcome to RWI.

The only option today for a "new" 111 is HWF. I did purchase some of their products, including a 177 that is very similar to the 111 and I find them of decent quality.

You can find a picture of the HWF compared to a Noob 111v2 that I have posted last week a few post below in this sub in the 177 thread.

Happy searching.

Ciao and welcome to RWI.

Thank you for reply and info.

Steve @theonewatches has both the XF and VSF available. It seems that these are better than HWF?

Did you ask Steve or do you just see them on the website? Websites aren't updated often and aren't accurate, so you'll want to inquire. Trusty might still have some Noob V12 005, 111, and 911 in stock (he did as of late last year)

Well............I have been communicating with Steve via email and assume it is the real Steve and not an impostor? LOL

Trusty responded that he does not have any Noob, XF, or VSF which seems strange since Steve does? Or do TD have access to different stocks.
Trusty only has HWF.

Mmm I don't know, I trust Kota list of current Pam replica from 2022 and VFS was not mentioned nor has surfaced ever since. But if you can put your hands on it I will be curious to see it!

Current REP PANERAI models

Good day everyone. Lately I've noticed that a typical situation when a new release arrives is that all TDs post information about it,stopped working. I see all the models appearing randomly on the TDs sites, not everyone has all the models posted, etc, even though I have little doubt that...

Works for me. But I am clueless on what is it. I tried a quick search on RWI to no avail. A new release?
Maybe some more informed member could give an answer.

 

[Mercatino]

He told me it was for Panerai XF 111

I bought the Noob 111 V12 from Trusty in Jan. Must have just recently run out.

Yup....all gone.

Is it odd that only Steve can get the XF and VSF?

Here you can read about the XF 111 rep quality analysis:

XF is still avaliable for PAM 111 but not 127.
