Yes this is IMO the best version available so far. KW PAM 386 V5.1 fitted with Seagul ST 2555: Cheaper, more accurate and more reliable
TSW are indicating V2, but it is more known as V5.1 and it is the same watch.
ALE
You have also this version KW V5 fitted with A7750 decorated if you don't like Seagull

sweet. thanks ALE! will get the ST2555 since its cheaper, more accurate and reliable. But in such case why would anyone want the 7750 or why would the factories continue making 7750 movements? lol
It may be because the A7750 is such a widely used movement that sourcing parts for repair would be easier for watch smiths. It's not that the ST2555 is way more reliable than the current crop of A7750s, but the A7750 has been around for a longer time and there still may be memories of the early 7750s that the Swiss 7750s (even not brand new ones) were desirable. Such is not the case right now. Reliability is much better. I would only contemplate replacing an A7750 powered rep with a ST2555 powered one, ONLY if the PAM had an open caseback, such as the PAM312 and the PAM359. If the makers released an ST2555 PAM243 for example, I would not flip my Noob V2 with the A7750. Suits me just fine.
