So I've been through the pam guide and search function both in here and Google trying to find a titanium cased panerai rep I like more than the others. I've found this kw pam 177:

http://www.kuvarsitwatch.co/panerai...rai-pam-177-j-series-special-only-20-pieces./

It can come with black rubber or calf brown strap and says it's an improved rep. Well is it? Research shows moons version was better but is this anything new as it's prices quite reasonable. I'm not bothered about slight imperfections to the gen but if something similar to this is available around the same price or not much more that I've missed I'd love a link or 2 to compare. I was settled on the pam 364 but seen to be going off that one for now.

That ad is old. Like two years old. I distinctly remember that "special 20 units" description when KW was still relatively new trying out some PAMs and AFAIK, they've never released that officially (some of their trial builds are still on their website, dunno why). Unless someone steps up and produces a better rep than the Noob version, I'd say Noob released last January 2015 is still the best version out there.

Well after emails from kuvarsit saying it's a stocked item I've placed order and awaiting qc pics. We can wait and see what comes of it.

It will be interesting to see that version. After approving your watch, please share the photos.

If qc pics look good to me I'll go ahead with sale and post some shots upon arrival.

So I have received the pam177 from kuvarsit and I'm more than sure it's different to the linked watch and the qc pics I was sent. I'll post some pics for comparison when I set up photobucket. Was there a lower speced version produced becaus a the visual differences don't bother me but if the quality is a lot less than I'll want it refunded/exchanging.

Obviously the first photo was not a QC photo. It's their catalogue photo.

If you are not happy, you should ask the dealer for a solution.

I have. They have said colour difference due to light and that if I send it back to them at my cost they will change it and discount my next purchase. I actually prefer the darker seconds hand I have but if the rest of the watch is sub quality then I'm not happy. Paid $188 for this so not even sure if it was a decent but or not now.

You paid 188$? That's a bit low for the super rep version of the PAM177, IMHO.

The watch and movement are the same as indictaed in above link
You cannot ask for more seeing the price
The rep is good enough
