While I was looking at some Panerai on the web, I noticed a similarity between the KW case and the OP 6502 case. What do you think? Even the lugs holes are in the same position.
The OP 6502 is the Pre-A case, but can be found on higher A-series and on some B-series

Gen OP 6502 pics:

Lugholes in pic 3 look more centered than in no.4, lugs also look thinner.
Apart from that it's hard for me to tell the difference.

Are all these pics gen?

Yes mate all gen. In the KW case lugholes are a bit higher, but the shape is very close to this gen caseset

I've got to agree with you about the KW caseset, it is a decent substitute if the H factory V1 can't be found.

H factory V1 is VERY gen like when compared to the gen 6502 case

There is something about the KW lugs, I think they are slightly more hooked and the lug hole placement is too high as opposed to the H V1 which is more triangular

True, I've a H-fac V1 ready for a PreA project ;)
