KW PAM382, Details = PERFECT?

[momo_sweden]

Watch and strap look good m8 but imho it is far too large a watch for your wrist as you are on last hole of strap and the watch face and strap are huge sorry.
Maybe post photo not so close up of whole hand and forearm as it might be just the close up shot too big looking ?

Well, my wristsize is 6.6 but on the other hand I'm a muscular guy with quite big forearms and biceps/triceps so I hope to pull it of anyway

Cwazy relume

But will a relume make the pearl White? Not so sure about that.

Forgive me, but I'm confused. I assume the gen has a white pearl? Because the ZF and KW versions the pearl is green on both???

Yes the gen has a white pearl, I'm not sure about ZF but on KW it's light green on almost all of the watches I seen so far. Big disappointment!

Here is mine. It's very nice. As you can see in the first (QC) photo, the case had a pretty heavy patina so it probably had been sitting around in China humidity for a while. Upon receipt I gave it a bath in lemon juice and it cleaned up nicely. It believe it some type of Cu/Sn alloy, as it looks similar to some other CuSn8 pieces I have (Helson Shark Diver, Ancon Tank M26, Kaventsmann Irukandji); a VDB 2012 is noticeably different and presumably is another type of alloy, perhaps Cu/Al or yet some other mix. See the final photo for my bronze comparison.

Observations:

• The bezel has some play, but unlike the Zfac it does center nicely at 12:00
• The crown was right on the case; I removed the crown/stem and unscrewed the spacer slightly to give a little more gap.
• Lume is considerably stronger than the Zfac; but the color is too green, particularly on the pearl.
• Pearl still isn't completely correct, lumed portion should be larger with a thinner ring around it; that said, I've seem variation on gens.
• Rep strap is much better than Zfac; but I wasted no time in replacing it with a Simona green shark with bronze buckle

Overall I'm quite pleased with the purchase. Thanks to Sead for getting it to me so quickly.

Looks great bro! I am sold! Who makes the strap on the far right watch in the photo with the 5 watches? I like the first 2 straps also from the left. Great watches !

Thank you.

Strap on 1st watch (Kaventsmann) = Iwan Samuel (Samstraps)
Strap on 2nd watch (Helson) = Ennebi
Strap on 5th watch (Ancon) = Ancon

Ancon Tank M26 is a real sleeper among bronze watches... High quality Miyota 9015 movement, CuSn8 case almost identical to the much more costly VDB but without the bullhead configuration and more typical 26mm lugs, and it comes with very nice leather and canvas straps and bronze buckle.

Hi Heisenberg !!! Great Pics and great collection !
Please tell exact procedure and which lemon juice you used - results are excellent !!!
Did you just put entire watch in lemon juice - remove only strap ?
Pics would be welcomed

 

[mkawass]

Yes. Please tell us the lemon juice procedure. Like did you squeeze lemons? Oe used lemon juice from a bottle? Which brand? Did u drop it in the juice without cover or was it covered? How long? What about cleaning? Did u have to clean it with water or any othet substance? ? Please tell us as im expecting mine this week. Thanks

 

[TheDonSL]

Yes I believe you can't throw the watch in a fish tank of lemon juice as it's not waterproof and will damage the watch. Maybe a cleaning cloth with lemon juice

This is what worked 100% for me, the watch is now clean like a colombian high quality blow
Sprite and one pressed lemon in a bowl, left the watch in there for 15 min. Rinse with water and a clean cloth. Thereafter I used a small amount of toothpaste and water on a soft toothbrush. Rubb it in gently on case and CG. Rinse with water and dry with cloth. Perfect result!

You put the entire watch in a bowl of sprite? Movement and all ??
