Just found this in my post box and i've got to say this is HANDS DOWN the best panerai rep i have owned. All those stories about this watch being the best yet are, in my opinion, true.

I could go into detail about the minutiae of font,pig positioning,crystal height cg fit and cut out but Ale has done that already, all i will say is that the feel and the look of this thing is unreal for a rep and the colour of the Dial markers and hands is just beautiful.

The boys at KV have managed to capture that intangible thing that you find in a gen which i guess comes from care and attention to detail and finishing.

The watch came on a really nice asso strap but i swapped this for an Orloff croc on deployant, my preference for Luminors.

Thanks to Li @ Kuvarsit who was a real pleasure to deal with and whom i will be dealing with again.

Anyone thinking about one of these, don't hesitate, it is, in my opinion a true super rep. I genuinely think they would shit themselves around the Richemont boardroom table if they were presented with this.

Onto a few pics which don't really do it justice.

Impossible to catch with some pics the feeling of this watch.
You have described the sensations and I agree with you.
Try to show this watch to other person no rep fan and you will get the same opinion.
Your Orloff is awesome for this watch

Cheers guys, i'm sure there are flaws but but for $ 320.00 i'll live with 'em. It's the overall feel and look of this watch which is the thing that's doing it for me.

Looks nice. I didn't know KW has other boutique series, since it seems people are only talking about 417.

Can I know if you got this strap direct from Kuvarsit? Or was it from another dealer?

It's between this or the 243. The decision is killing me

But they are completely different watches my friend !!! (??)
What will be your type of use ?
If you want a sporty watch (not very very smart or dressy): 243
If you want a dressy and smart (but not bad for sporty): 417

If you change the strap in a 417 you could get a different character.
With PAm 243 you will not be able to get a dressy character even changing the strap.
Just my opinion
ALE

Anyway, if you like PAMs you will get both sooner or later.

So true! I have gen sporty and dressy watches already so either one will fit nicely in my collection. I previously had a gen pam88 and pam111 but ended up selling both for different watches. Now I have the pam bug again so i'm hoping this will cure it before it gets really expensive again.:wyliehelp:

I was previously leaning towards the 243 due to it's super rep status but this new watch seems to be the most accurate pam rep available.

No, be careful, this is not at all the most accurate PAM rep available, several PAM reps are most accurate than KW-417 , PÂM 243 included.
What I am saying is this is the most GEN-like and maybe the best looking watch. this is very different.
It is a good sensation difficult to explain it when you observe this watch
As many good replicas KW-417 has evident flaws.
But it is true you forget them when you enjoy the quality and look.

Noob 243 V2 still is probably the most accurate OTB rep out there..., no mods, just a killer strap and you are good to go...

Not trying to put you on the spot ALE if you were to list your top 5 closest to gen reps how would you rate it??

This watch would not be in the list of accurates. I'm talking about all brands not only Panerai

But if you ask me for the best looking and GEN-like (that is different) this KW 417 would be one of three first.
