I'm really wanting to pre-order this watch but I won't have the full amount until Wednesday. Hopefully KW is only saying small quantities as a marketing tool. What do you think is the reason the KW watch has been so delayed compared to ZF? Could it be KW wanted to see what issues ZF had and try to improve that? Or hopefully KW is just very anal in details and that's why it's taking so long?

Here is the KW back with some comments:


As you can see there are differences. The pearl may be improved in the final batch per kurvasit. The other stuff you will either live with or not. The CG corners can be modded. Some may be differences in angles so it is a very rough comparison and may not be 100% accurate. Anyway, I hope it helps.

Now, that's a useful photo comparison. Good job.

I notice also that the lume on all the dial minute markers bleeds over the bronze/rose gold boarders. See my yellow circle in the picture below.

What part of "sample" word you guys don't understand? It is clearly stated on Kuvarsit site that pictures on the release date will be updated as the one they used are the production sample. Please, stop spreading rumors. Just sit back, stfu and enjoy the ride. You'll have plenty of salt to throw around after final release... Or not.

Touchy, touchy. I didn't see you blow a gasket when someone else praised the "sample" to high heaven. :p

I've preordered my own to show you how I feel. I am just doing a preliminary comparison. I don't see the harm in doing one in any event. I don't think anything that is different should keep one from buying it if it is ultimately the same as the final released version, other than the pearl and movement holder which kW stated would change.

Im far beyond being "touchy", praise or not, ZFac or KW doesn't matter to me. Mehmet is courteous enough for us to post productions samples for us to see what's coming. I think, subjectively we need to see the final product before rolling out the carts with tar and feathers. On theflip side, I enjoy watching all yer comments and conclusion leapfrogs on sample product. Funny as it gets.

I paid 500 for the watch based on what I know and I don't feel bad at all. If it improves, great. If it doesn't, i don't care. For someone on the fence of a pre order I don't feel bad pointing out differences even if you think it is irrelevant.

Amen.

What you have here is called sack riding. Followed by Replica Owner Syndrome. I wonder what these guys would do if they saw what a DSN Fiddy looked like back in the day. For $400 + .

On the contrary, every opinion matters but it won't make any difference in the final release. Simple to say: Feels like farts in the wind, heard but never smelled :hehehe:

Well said, my friend (If I can say that). Differences aside, you have to know your game.

Okay so basically you think no rep to gen comparisons are warranted. Thanks for your thoughts.
