I think this looks pretty damn great. :) The crown is really nicely sized and proportioned compared to the noob and H-factory versions. It doesn't have that polished ring, but this is hardly noticeable. The dial and lume look great too!! Can anyone tell me if the "Officine Panerai" on the movement is engraved on the V6F version or is just stamped like the H-Factory?

As as side note, I see that on the "P" and "R" series, panerai switched to using polished SS screws for the caseback lugs instead of DLC'ed screws on the "O" series. The V6F is using the correct DLC'ed screws---so this is just a small change I noticed and am just mentioning for the hell of it. In any case, you can see what I am talking about in the picture:

"R" series from official site:

Can't wait to see some more pix of the KW for comparison. This might be my next purchase.

mods, please help me spend my money....haha.... I think the crown, whether dlc or ceramic looks right on; even down to the shiny part of the gen bezel of the crown. Case looks good, lume can't seem to be an issue, but what about dial layout and font accuracy?

Do these have problems with screws coming loose from the lugs and lug bars go missing?

Dial layout, cut outs and fonts seem almost perfect
No worries about that

Mine came today.




I ordered a couple of PVD Rad screws from PANATIME. Any experience with those screws? I hope they fit...
