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

[Kleen]

Atespo:
I immediately noticed that your QC's do NOT have the (incredibly annoying!) watermark on top of them, making it much easier to see the crispier details.

I am very very excited/relieved about this 312
I had recently gotten rid of the older 312 and have been regretting it for the longest!!!

When the 417 became avail, picked it up and the quality is amazing, can't wait to get this 312 in my collection!!

 

[GBOGH]

Looks nice. Enjoy.

Here are my QC shots (unfortunately with the same watermark on the photos as Kleen, I guess that's to prevent scammers from using them on their sites). On to the pics:

Everything looks fine. Sent my approval to ship. Now the waiting game begins. :cheers:

Hi mysterio
Congrats, it seems a really nice watch.
General finish looks awesome
CG seems impressive.
I assume the position of date wheel is due to starting the change about 10 hrs
What do you think about the depth of the sandwich dial?
What about the decoration of the movmnt?

Mysterio: Looks good, but it seems yours has the (potentially) exact same non-flush CG-lever issue (pic. #4) that I immediately noticed on my QCs as well, so it might be a general thing with the 312s?!

After further analysis i OK'ed mine as well, so let's just hope it turns out to be a non-issue IRL, that is; once we get our hands on it...

Now onto the game of "Who receives their 312 first.."

Kleen,
What are your pics with the issue?
Please, I cannot see them
All your pics really look good

Here are mine! Can't wait for it!!

I think it is in reference to the CG lever not being flush to the CG when closed. As seen in atespo's 3rd picture.

@ Ale:
I received a 90 degree / perpendicular shot of the CG-lever from KW, that made me able to specifically evaluate the flushness of the lever.

I'm sure you will immediately be able to identify the common denominator.
Let's see how it turns out IRL...

This seems very similar to mysterio lever in a enlarged pic
I think that in real size, these differences are not noticeable.

I will see mine one soon

I am happy with photos that were sent to me and cannot wait to get it in my hands to feel the watch AND the genuine gator. I assume they will ship tomorrow? or has anyone got a working tracking #?

Let's see: I'll cross my fingers and hope you're right (usually, you are...

Thought I would also share the gen-gator strap QC

(I know you just post those to piss me off, knowing that I ordered the black one...

Be sure !!

LOL...

Both look really awesome

Will be very interesting to see if this 312 shares the same purple tint crystal issue in the KW 417.

I though honestly that the AR of GEN PAM Boutiques was colourless, but after seeing below Video I get some doubts.

What do you think about that?
Please see the second reflection.

I'm a little surprised

I already wrote my thoughts on the other thread, but here it is:

Although I have not seen a PAM BO in the wild; this video does clearly show that the 2'nd reflection has a tint to it - and that it is Violet!

This does seem to bring some evidence/warrant to the manufacturers claim of using gen-spec sapphire.

If anything, now I am more curious than ever to have a BO side-by-side comparison to see if the manufacturers supported claims holds.

I think the watch in the vid looks a lot like the KV version... I may be bad wrong but look at lug screw placement really close! looks very familiar to me???

FRAME 1:08 look at lug screw end placement!!

I thought the same as I watched it as well.
