the point is that there are people out there who can get the watches even before the dealer puts them online for sale. so it's quite possible to find someone evaluating the watch "right now".

And who was that masked man? :lol:

:unsure:
actually i read that on another board - don't ask me which thread, but I can give you the board's name, if it is not forbidden here to do so. One of the admins seem to have direct access to the factories or "assembly points" (however you call it).

Really nice radiomirs from KW lately. Even the 613 looks promising. However, does dlc coated crowns appear the same as ceramic? Im under the impression that the ceramic crown has grainy texture while dlc'ed will be smooth, unless it was sandblasted.

oh damn does that mean my noob 292J isn't worth as much anymore haha. wonder what the quality of this kW 292 is compared to the noob one

+1
I too am wondering about the quality as there is a pretty decent price difference.
I have done a little reading on the pams and really like this 292 series.
I can't wait for an expert to chime in as I have read that the noob is the most sought-after version.

really looking forward to hearing some good reviews. please keep us posted pam aficionados.

can anybody confirm if the crown is ceramic as well or dlc? don't believe it was mentioned on any of the TD sites. I took a screenshot of the crown from the side in PT's video (this is actually the 613 but I'm assuming they will both have the same case), looks pretty nice and matte to me, so hoping it is ceramic too

Ale, are all radiomir cases sharp at the edge like what you've mentioned? Looks like this case has a flat edge at the corners

At real size this matter is much less noticeable than on enlarged pics

Gen corners are more or less the same about the size but gen are overall more rounded. As you can see on below pic of two PAMs 505 gen and KW

PAM%20505-%20CORNER%20GEN%20KW%20COMPARISON_zpshyy6htnw.jpg


You can see that gen corner is overall more rounded whereas rep corners are always with sharp edges
