KW PAM312 "O" Series - [ QC pics allowed ]

- Start date
Mine was from Perfect Clones. Looks like the mainspring is buggered. I wonder if it's possible it over wound itself during shipping?

as far as I know, it is impossible to over wind an automatic watch. Correct me if I'm wrong, but they have built in clutch mechanism to prevent over winding.
mine not even close to 10 compared to my 111. It barely glow; just showing traces of lume.

My KW PAM 359 has clearly worse lume but the PAM 312 is good enough even in non complete dark.

I'm really interested in buying a pam 312, can anyone recommend me a website where they sell the best pam 312's. I was looking at
http://www.puretime.co/product/pam312-o-11-best-edition-on-black-leather-strap-p9000-movement/

Most of the Trusted Dealers on this site will be able to get you this version of the 312.
I bought mine from Hont but there's no reason not to get it from Puretime.
The one quoted is not the KW PAM312, it's from a different maker. However, as the KW version is not exclusive I am sure Angus can get it for you if that's the one you want to buy.

Oops - didn't realise there were two versions with the P9000like movement.
Is one of them clearly better than the other or do they both have pros/cons?
Is there any correlation to high amplitude and the watch being DOA?
The DOA one I received had an amplitude of 327 degrees, now the replacement one shows 349 degrees, could this be causing it?

Hi ALE
I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge and thanks for doing so.
I received the 312 from kw and it is really amazing. Definitely has the gen feeling. However i was comparing it with gen 312 o pics on the net and it seems that the writing on the dial has a lighter color on the gen than the kw 312 o. The gen is less creamy whereas the kw 312 has a darker creamy color. Is this the case?

Hi Willks
Due to the dial inscriptions are shiny (and raised) it is difficult to see the color on pics.
I can only tell you that KW bought a GEN 312 to make this replica and they still own the gen to compare side by side. Mehmet (owner of KW) is very proud of this creamish color like gen.

Where does KW stands for? Can this KW version be bought at every supplier or one in specific? Tnx
KW = Kuvarsit Watch
Although they have their own website, they are not a Trusted Dealer here. However, you can still get them from most if not all of the Trusted Dealers. Just specifically ask for the KW version.
