505 Lug screw problem?

[aurrian]

Hi

I'm a newish member - so please be patient with me.

I understand that it's not good paractice to post your QC pics and ask someone to just check them for you!

I have ordered a few watches and not posted QC pics, but with my upcoming PAM505 order i noticed an irregularity at two of the lug screws (one more than the other) - I asked QC dept to have a look at it and tel me what i was seeing - instead they just sent me more pictures.

I am aware of some lug screw issues with KW V1 505 and so maybe a bit paranoid, but think this is supposed to be the V2 titanium.

Anyone got any idea what i'm seeing here and is it OK?

It looks like a small black seal or washer which is not held down properly?

Not sure what to do next - i will reply to dealer and ask them again to explain what it is but would appreciate input from the experts here.






Thanks guys

Looks like a reflection to me. I have a KW 505 V1 I can check for similar later if it is of help to you.

The top right screw on the first picture does have marks from the screw driver. I think its fine and your just over thinking it. We have all been there..

Looks okay . Just use black marker if you scratch the screws heads when removing it.

Thanks Guys

When I look at close up of the pictures it looks like one of the screws might have something loose like a rubber housing or maybe a piece of black paint. Anyway it's not a problem if it is a very minor cosmetic defect. Just as long as it doesn't suggest a more serious problem.

Thanks for the advice

You're right, the last versions of Radiomir cases had some o'rings at the screws.


Sorry for the just made poor quality pics, but you can see these orings on the screw.





Screws are quite better tightened with these than before. Ask them to change the screws, you couldn't refit the o'ring correctly.

this is not KW vision . KW V2 had upgrade long time .

@evora Damn - i just read this but had already said it was ok to send if they thought the screws were ok....

Will this be a problem if i try to change the strap?

@kuvarsit - do you mean i have not been sent the KW V2 titanium watch?

I ordered from puretime. was supposed to be the latest version, and i paid the top price...

What makes you think it's not correct?

 

[aurrian]

OK. I just checked - it is the z-factory version which puretime sell.

Silly me.
