KW PAM382, Details = PERFECT?

[c888]

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.

Do you mean the edge of the CG that flat cut corner? I asked about this on another forum, but are there different versions of the gen?

The corners on the ZF cg do look more rounded then on the gen pics I've seen which has a flat bottom. on the KW test pics, the cg looked like to have that.

Do you have a picture of the finished CG from KW?

Cropped this on one of their kv samples it has the straight edge like gen on the cg instead is a half circle on zfactory, I wonder if you can use a metal file on the zfactory cg to make it a straight edge instead of the half circle as a quick fix?

Yes.....was the gen 382 made without a cut corner CG?

If it's completely made out of the same material, then you could theoretically file the CG off for that cut corner. Be careful not to file off too much though.

No the Gen always has that straight edge corner on the cg, there was no other versions of the GEN 382 based on the Pam official website pictures.

Anyone have seen these kv pictures before?

I'm in for the donation ... but I think KW will probably be AL bronze ... you can see the diff below...... i prefer the reddish tint to it .... BUT ... in the end does not really matter if you're going to want a nice patina in the end.

The cut on the CG is too exaggerated. Should be at most just half of the CG width but that looks to be as wide as if not wider than the crown on the case (granted, it's not the final crown as it's SS but as the lever roller is touching the crown properly then the actual crown would have the same thickness).

I'm in for a donation as well if the test is run on both versions.
Just out of curiosity

Think I will wait for the KW, how could ZF get the CG so wrong!

Is it not a 1-1 made from original?

These threads are always entertaining.

Something to occupy the time until the rep finally arrives.

:lol:


I nearly spit my coffee through my nose laughing at this one. Thanks for that.

But regarding material KW and ZFac are trusting their suppliers, we will need an external analysis

It has already been done.

Why not post some info then, rather than keep being cryptic with your pop corn?

It has already been done.

Where are the results of analysis on zf case?

 

[GBOGH]

Because I did not have the test done. The member who did should be the one to post the details.

And just for you...

This is the report on Zfac case . Sorry for the Chinese words .

 

[ikiestik]

This is great news for everybody ordering zf version.

Just need kw pics for comparison.

Great work on getting these results.
