PAM 382 Bronzo - QC Pics allowed Thread
- Thread starter DR3M3L
- Start date
So I got back some better QC pics. Dark pics were no good, made the pearl look green to me. I approved this... cant wait to receive this bad boy!!
Since we are allowed to post QC pics...
Rejected both of these, as the "45" on the bezel for the first one is crooked, and the "30" on the second one is also crooked. Hopefully, the third time is the charm, now that my TD knows what to look for.

Lol, the consensus is that the KW has multiple improvements on the ZF, and both are amazing full bronze reps for the $.
My kw has not left my wrist in a month.
That's exactly what I'm doing. I want one of the bronzos in a bad way, I've even got a buckle and strap on the way for one, but I'm waiting to see what the deal with V2 or V3 or whatever this is, is.
LOL. I myself ordered mne (KW version). I did learn that you always could wait and wait and wait for the next and better version. And while waiting you just won't enjoy what you have ;-) In so far: just do it and do it now! Who knows what will be tomorrow? Perhaps I ordered a submarine buckle too and from an new Korean adress (more to that later when everything has everything) a really great strap which perfectly fits the Jules Verne like style of the Bronzo. Stay tuned!

In theory, the widely distributed KW382 is the KW V2, as the first batch was dumped at discount to some TDs and pre-orders with a few minor movement changes and the greenish pearl. I cant imagine major improvements to the curent KW382 any time soon.
The limited production ZF382 V2 will have a reported updated decorated movement, but no super clone, so its really splitting hairs with the flaws you can live with vs those you cannot live with. Plus its already being pushed back, likely until the fall for release.
Until a true super clone P9000 makes its way onto the rep scene, waiting for an update is simply splitting hairs and missing out on wrist time.
Well, if it's $700 I'm not buying it. From pictures that Cosmic posted the other day of the bezel, it seems that not just the movement is being changed/upgraded.
Wouldn't a less expensive KW 382 with a Seagull movement be a logical next step since that seem to be a preferred solution with the other P9000 range from KW?
