I'm surprised there hasn't been more mention of the color of the "LUMINOR MARINA" AND "PANERAI" text on the dial of the KW version. The color of this text on the KW is too brownish. The gen has this text in a more cream color. In many pictures you will find online, depending on lighting, it looks creamy to almost pure white. When you see it in person it is quite different from the color that KW uses. The color of the dial text doesn't necessarily even match that of the date wheel. Here are some images I found online where you can see this effect:

mmm good point
also eagerly awaiting the Z-fac vs KW 351 review

 

[Perry]

When will the review be done and posted?

Hi all. I bought a ZF PAM351 from Puretime in Dec. the watch is great however the movement (or something in the watch) sounds loose. If I tap the glass it sounds like there is loose bits. The watch works perfectly otherwise and I wear it very often.


Have any of you had this with your PAM351? Or do you think I need to have this looked at (I'm not a watch techie nor do I have the tools to tinker)

Thanks chaps

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else has gotten this watch? This is next on my list, and the KW version looks mighty tasty

I couldnt find comparisons anywhere and im just wondering if this watch isnt popular for any reason.

This watch isnt popular for the reason it is not a super rep. And many flaws within

I don’t agree this is not a popular watch.
It is a watch with a great personality and many people like it
But it is made of Titanium, more prone to scratches and a bit grey, the dial is Brown and the hands are golden, it is a very different watch and it is no easy to be understood. Just That

I got KW version and it is awesome the same as Radiomir version PAM 346
The only little inconvenient, leaving aside the decorated movement, is the rep Ti bezel has not as nice finish as gen.
If you like PAM 351 model get KW version and you will not get disappointed

I have compared gen351 with the rep.. I agree with ALE, gen bezel is polished very good. Unlike rep's

It is because I can bet you the bezel is not Ti .... I am sure the bezel is SS. Just look at the metal tone of the gen in person...

Panerai says bezel is made of Titanium
But it is a very special high grade and hard Ti very good to get the mirror finish

Thanks!

No, unfortunately Pete had some problems to make the review, I think he sold his ZF PAM 351 and returned to me my KW PAM 351. The review was no made

From the comments by Pete and my observations there were no important differences. Pete liked more Zfac and I liked more my KW. No important differences to be remarked.
The bezel polishing matter is the same on both watches.

I personally prefer the consistency of KW quality and KW decorated movement over ZFac. But this is always a taste matter

I sent Sead a bunch of thread links about the bezel to pass on to KW. Apparently they were unaware people had a problem with the bezel. Also tried to do a special order to get the bezel switched to SS but was denied. Regardless of e bezel issue, it sounds like its a great seller just behind the 312 and 359 sales figures.

I'm fussy with this one so I can only hope for a V2.

 

[Maraach]

Quick warning guys. Anyone who see's this strap and gets absolutely smitten with it like I did..... The versions nowadays are much more black than brown, so it doesnt look quite like this. Wish I picked up on this before ordering!

I can really recommend this watch especially on an Orloff's strap my fav at the moment.

Hi all, I'm thinking of getting a Pam351 but I have concern over the color of the Markers.

I have been to a local boutique very recently and I found the color of Gen Marker is a very pale Yellowish Green, unlike what mvyzfr1 has posted.

Is this a batch difference / difference due to lighting condition?

Does the Gen / KW V6F 351 have a more prominent green color in the markers? I personally really like the Green Marker and golden hands...

Thanks all!

Mine arrived! Only took these pics of it so far, I'm headed out to eat and will post a quick review when I get home later. But overall it's built very very solid and has a gen feel to it.

This which version ? Kw or ZF ?
