KW PAM382, Details = PERFECT?
- Thread starter kuvarsit
- Start date
Regarding the buckle, keep in mind that the 389 strap is tapered (i.e., 26mm at the lugs but ~22mm at the buckle) where the 382 strap is not. Therefore, you would have to swap the whole strap (instead of just the buckle). I like the bronze buckle myself but wouldn't want to forgo the more gen-like titanium for this baby.
I am really excited to see the KV finished product and the ZF bronzo is great so far. We forum members are in a nice position with respect to this model with two quality makers to chose from.

We know the chemical composition of the gen. It is a Bronze CuSn8 (as previously said basically is 8%Tin and the rest Copper 92%)
If the bronze in rep watch is CuSn8 no worries about colour and patina, we will get completely the same as gen in the rep
With a sample and an Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer we would get the answer in few minutes.
Some years ago I worked with a Perkin Elmer AAS and was fantastic, precise and fast. Unfortunately I have not yet the opportunity at this moment
If some member has access to such AAS we will be able to know the answer in some minutes
I will try again to get it in Spain. I had no success last year (free cost, of course)
I could also ask for the cost and arrange an account to receive donations from members to get the amount and make the analysis. Maybe, 2-3 Euro for each member would be enough. I would participate with 20€ to start the donation.

Ale....can you contact Kuvarsit and ask them if indeed they are using the same metal composition as the gen?

Yes of course
I'm trying to contact KW for some more info about this watch
But regarding material KW and ZFac are trusting their suppliers, we will need an external analysis
Maybe KW could participate in the cost too.
Just my thoughts
ALE
It couldn't be impartial if only one of the makers were to chip in for the cost, ALE. It should be both KW and ZFac or not at all. But then where would the samples come from?
The CG of the z factory watch is wrong....how could they make such a huge mistake? The kuvarsit watch looks spot on in terms of its CG.
