Advice needed/ Boutique Series PAM 411-417, KW or H-fac?

[q004]

Since there is a recent on sale on both version of those models. Wondering which one version to get?

My initial perference was KW. However, after hearing about the incorrect brownish dial for recent KW batch, I was thinking of the H-fac. The latest H Pam 005 seems to have improved casesets and dial lum application. Heard from some dealer that latest H-fac boutique also has similar improvement... That's all mixed up some how.. really hard to decide without actual watch on hand.. Does any of your guys have recent experience with those models. Would you share your opions with me?

Thanks!!

mate kw has the correct dial now. i bought a kw 411 back in feb and it had the correct black dial. got mine from Sead if you're wondering. honestly, the kw 411 looked much nicer to me in terms of build quality, lume colour and application and case shape. also the caseback engraving on the h fact 417 was off, the "officine panerai" is a bit misaligned and not as deep as the kw. i know this cos i bought a new h fact 417 with the upgrades and compared the two but i still liked my kw411 better and all in all i would get the kw one. try asking Sead or Sora i'm sure they can get you the right kw version with the black dial if that's the one you decide on, and just fyi, kw only made the 411, 416 and 417. oh and also 546, istanbul boutique edition. same watch and also correct black dial but different caseback engraving, also very nice, i also bought it but sold it later.

so all in all personally i would go with kw version, just better look and feel to me. but of course, thats just my opinion. hope this helps

+1 [MENTION=98122]nickt[/MENTION]an. best option to date to consider is KW411, they have upgraded dial color and it's now more gen like instead of tobbaco dial color, its good option to consider since huge discount offered by KW.
