Which pearl is misaligned, can you tell me which one to be specific?

I tried to look up by myself, so I compared both ZF and KW 382 in toro site, with my pics.
My local dealer's movement is the same movement decoration position with KW's of Torobravo.
So that could mean mine is really a KW version.


Secondly, from the pic, my local dealer's pearl is off white colored, and Toro's KW is still greenish (just like KW pre order pics).
Could this mean different versions of KW are indeed out there already, and my local dealer already have the supposedly 'final' version ?? :D

Sultan Brunei: I had a ZF and the strap look exactly the same. My dealer from GZ showed me a pic of a batch of KW 382, the strap look very different.

On the other hand the first marker on the bezel is close to the pearl like in kw.
P9000 engraving on the movement looks like kw as far as I can remember...
:ambivalence:

Oldcake: my dealer said, he purposely changed the strap that comes with the KW watch with the zf one for the picture taking. See my post #575. That is the strap that comes with the KW.

On your Pics, the Pearl seems not centered compared to @12 index/markers.

about a week ago. Are they fixing the issues or making a new batch?

In that thread, it's said there's no electroplating for kw case inside. If it's true, it's a real big issue!

Would it mean we will have patina inside the case?
If it's confirmed that is, I read that comparison might come from kw competitors...

ATM they might be a bit busy, considering the samples are starting to leak and they need to fix that pearl asap.
This may cause some delay in replies.

Look what Toro just posted at RWG! :)

"Good news, KW confirmed that in a few days they will be available, I just got one with correct pearl as sample"
