I am happy to report that yesterday I took receipt of my latest purchase: the KW 312 (just in time for my trip to Barbados!).

As we already all know, this is an outstanding replica. This finish and build are simply amazing, the dial and date window are perfect (as far as I can tell) and the rep strap isn't bad at all. The factory should really be applauded for their replication of the 312 movement. To me, this seems to be a game changer in the making.

I am by no means a Panerai expert; however, I do see one area that could use improvement: AR. That's about it.

Enjoy some iPhone pics:

Nothing happened to the engraving. Like you said, it is just some dirt. Nothing a Q-tip and warm water wont fix.

Nice pics. But what about the AR? Shouldnt it be "gen" like AR (stated by Mehmet)? Is it like gen (even though it might be bad) or is it just bad?

AR is not specially strong in these type of PAM watches even in gen
See some pics of gen PAM 359
The same for PAM 312 and similar models

May I ask what the wrist size is? I have a 7 1/4" wrist, and wonder if this would be too big?

Thanks
