So i was browsing some posts from our sister forum, and saw that someone posted KW will soon be releasing the 518/519/520 line. I wanted to reach out to some of the more seasoned members who have a relationship with Alan/Mehmet to find out if this is true, and what other models they plan on releasing in the near future.

From our sister forum, the word/rumor on the street is the following models will soon be available from KW:

- 382
- 511 V2
- 510 V2
- 389
- 393
- 518/519/520

Can anyone confirm or provide insight on this. Also if it is true about the 518/519/520, does anyone know what the movement will look like?

The 518/519/520 release would be awesome -- my guess is that the first stab at it would have an old Venus copy movement and then the V3/V4 would be something worth pursuing.

I hope that KW has something up his sleeve to make it nicer than just that.

I could be wrong but pretty sure kw isn't doing a 372. Too many players in that party already.
382 supposed to be out soon I believe.

PAM 382 is being released by ZF

So will KW, tomorrow if the announcement is accurate (no official word from them although somebody disclosed that 4/4/14 is a n auspicious day for Chinese, which is the reasoning for the release date).

Maybe kw's decision to release on 4/4/14 is because his 382 will kill zf version.
