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

[mysterio]

Hi Guys,

Does this one look alright? Does the brand wordings on the outer ring matter? Should the word "Officine Panerai" be at top half of the case? Thanks.

You are talking about the position of the letters on the caseback. They are fine. The website pictures look like they're in perfect alignment and you're worried that it's a flaw. I'd like to tell you that even gens don't align their casebacks in any particular way.

Good then! Thanks man!

Why are you obscuring the serials?

My KW PAM127 QC from Sead.

Let me know your thoughts. Oh and this does not look like the dial has a green tint "On" like the older batches had. Cheers
Also the Font looks grayish and not white. Could this be a lighting issue? Or nah?

Very very loose crown guard lever. It closes but barely. Pam127 KW version. Just received it today? Any how to fix it ideas? I contacted TD waiting to hear back.

I don't see the problem in the video... If you open the crownguard lever it is normal to be loose like that. Once you push it back to the crown to close it, it is firm no?

There is a DIY tutorial to tighten the crown guard lever, quickly found thanks to [MENTION=64001]kilowattore[/MENTION] 's summary:

The lever on mine actually wobbles almost the same But when closed, it pushes the crown enough to secure water proofness. I've checked the watch at the watchsmith and it cleared 5ATM easily, which is more than enough, and I've also swum in the pool and sea, no problems whatsoever.
The lever on my 005 doesn't wobble at all however and is tight when open, and closes with an obvious snap.

There's a hotgun glue fix that can be used for the lever. But I don't mind leaving it as is

Shoot. I forgot about this one. Thank you so much. Going to buy a glue gun this weekend. Cheers.

Anyone notice how the crown on the 127 is smaller than the 372 ?

This is regular issue - same issue like the Gen.

At the Noob 372 the lever is more tighten - also like the Gen.

Update. Power Reserve on my KW 127 is 47 hours almost to the minute. A little bummed it isn't above 50 hours. My last 6497 lasted a bit above 72 hours.
