The one with the sticker and without the strap is the gen (you can tell by the balance wheel @7, compared to @11 for the A7750). I hope they use an ST2555 movement in the future to place the balance wheel @ 6, near the gen location. ;)

As for dealer information,

Sora = Shinewatch
Lucy = Truetime168

Some sellers openly are saying that they're selling zfac for KW version. Must be KW frenzy or something... :hehehe:

I agree Mysterio. I just received a KW 312O v2 with the ST2555--which is both my first KW Pam and my first watch with an ST2555. The balance while at 6 is a very nice touch. If you are really into pams and know what a gen p.9000 looks like you can tell the arm for the balance wheel is going in the "wrong" direction, but aside from that it looks dead on. The quality of he engravings, the finish on the bridge, the jewels, etc.... very nicely done. I am really impressed with the ST2555-as a movement. It is super smooth. It is a much smoother wind than any of my unserviced A7750. It actually feels a lot like a gen p.9000 when you wind it. Of course, mechanical that's where the similarities end. It is still a much better and less expensive option than the A7750. I would imagine if KW were to use the st2555 in the 382, the price would drop under $400.00--for an even more compelling watch.

It certainly is looking better now. Glad they held off. Hope everything is great with those who have ordered.

I sure love my 382. It's my grail watch. If, down the line, a version arrives with a clear incentive or upgrade to the existing offers, I will buy no doubt buy another. For now, I am only interested in how the bezel mechanism functions.

no one can really answer the question huh

Man, read around a bit. I think no one wants to answer because if you read 2 or 3 threads here in PAM section you'll know a lot more.

Pearl on ZF is totally wrong and there were a lot of members complaining on loose bezel and dial that was a bit rotated on ZF. Movements are wrong on both ZF and KW but they are different in both versions because they have engravings in different direction and ZF has thinner engraving, KW thicker. Also when Kuvarsit posted first pictures of KW prototype I fell in love with Bronzo because of beautiful patina it developed which on ZF doesn't look as nice judging on pics I saw around.
Can anyone comment that?

For non-rwg members (I hope it's ok to c/p it here):

Well after a few weeks of anticipation my KW382 arrived today from KW (thanks Amanda).....

Quick overview.....

Build quality is exceptional
Bezel is nice and tight
Date wheel alignment very nice
Leather strap is one of the best I've seen, extremely comfortable.
Pearl is perhaps a little green, but tomorrows day light will tell.....
Case has a few indentations, but adds a little character.

Very glad I hung in there and waited, this is a keeper and I'm loving it KW

Pics for your enjoyment..........lume shots look a little blue, but they are very green in normal conditions.

Thank you Shelby for sharing! Questions: You recieved your watch rather quick, may I ask where in the world you're located? It looks like the lume is diffrent in color, the second hands looks green while the rest is blue? Or is it just the pic lighting?

Nooo it's not mine! :D I copied it from a member on RWG but he wrote he's located in Australia. Not sure about the lume as it's not my watch. :lol: Unfortunately. :(
