BE AWARE! Flawed KW PAM 127 with SF movement- ***[QCpics allowed]***

[pulp fiction]

This is indeed the case. I've been QCed with the same KW case but sf movement. There were more faults with the watch, so it was exchanged anyway. However bad reputation for KW/V6.

Congrats your watch has correct KW movement

Just received a message from my TD and he has difficulties about that actually. V6 has used other movements for their 127 and there's no way for him to differentiate . They also didn't tell dealers about this. So he can't promise us that he is able to get the 127 with V6 movement and he don't even know if it's still available or V6 has replaced all of them with other movements .

It's too bad. I wanted to order the KW Fiddy.

Thank you!
That saved me from the trouble of having to change the watch

Just got word from TD that KW is working on a new batch with correct movement. They advised me to wait for the next batch before purchasing.

Thanks for letting us know! Hope the new batch will arrive soon with the right movement.

Thanks for this info

It is really easy to differentiate both movements because the placement of PANERAI PANERAI engravings are completely different. It is very obvious in balance cock and mainly above the gold OFFICINE PANEARI engraving. Besides KW movement has a bit rounded blue screws upper surface whereas SF has flat blue screws (more accurate)

Anyway, bad news from KW-V6Fac
We will see

Hi, all afected 127 customers, here goes a "breeze of hope" for you.
Certain TD sent me ,yesterday, pics of a correct unit he sourced for one of his customers.
The unit was pretty nice. It was standard xxxx/1950 series , not OOR series.
As that was a private comunication, I prefer not to give all the info, I did not ask for auth to him.
Anyway, what cares now is...
there are still "some few" (don´t know how many) correct KW 127 Fiddys out there!!!.
Looks like it's hard to source, and require extra dedication, but not everything is lost, good luck !!!

I encourage you to publish your QC pics here for informative purpose and for identification before acceptance

Who knows what the future batch (if any, some infos point towards 3-4 week wait ) will bring us.
May be, KW will buy some ZF minute hands to "hybrid" its Fiddys, LOL
