Okay, I spent about 2 hours reading the mammoth PAM thread that goes into exquisite detail about history and Rep versions.
I read so much that a lot of the info is a bit jumbled for me, so I would appreciate some clarification.
I want to get the 382 since I love bronze watches, but I'm unsure of which is currently the most accurate looking.
I think what I read leads me to believe that the latest KW is a v2 from June of 2015 with an A7750 and that it's believed by some/all to be the best out that at this time.
Is that right? If not, what is? I saw a placeholder for Noob version, but no info about it so far.

Thanks so much for any help.

That's roughly correct, the newer versions have a skinnier crown which is not accurate. I have a difficult time telling the difference.

Keep your eyes peeled as I'll be offering my KW V2 up for sale soon in the sale section.

Opinions vary but I was suggested by an authority here that the KW version was the most accurate and the case was tested and proved to be real bronze. That's not to say that the other maker's isn't real bronze but it has never been tested.
About the movements A7750 vs the seagull ..the jury's still out about that and opinions vary.
I went with the seagull version because it was cheaper and also because not many bad things have been said about it whereas I have read a few negative comments about the A7750. I have had no issues whatsoever with my Seagull.
YMMV as could opinions about the movements but one thing is certain ,,,the 382 Bronzo is one of the most beautiful and unique Pams out there.

Can you still find the KW seagull? Is it as accurate as the newest with the A7750?

No doubt, green dial matches a bronze case and its patina, much more than blue does.
382 still the KING !

Crown looks different in a few pics. One looks skinny and other looks fat ? Did you get a replacement crown.
