looks very nice, I am nit a pam specialist but I vouch for KW quality, cannot wait to read Ale or Mysterio in depth review maybe a future "super rep" grade AAA++ ? :)

Pearl is really nice too, looks more genuine for me (not from a comparison with the Gen 389 but from a quality point of view)

I'm interested in seeing QCs. In the KW pics, I don't see anything that's better than the ZF.

Is it just me or are KW pearls always too domed? I can appreciate that pearls are incredibly difficult to get right though, so I don't blame them.

ZFac is good indeed
But CG, makers, ceramic bezel (and fitting with metallic bezel), Cannon pinion, knurling of the bezel (to be confirmed with QCCpics) are better or way better in KW version

No doubts about that because it is evident

ALE

EDITED: After this post some QC pics of this watch are showing some flaws in KW rep. Please read following posts

Yeah i agree ALE, the differences are clearly can be seen from the QC pics, i like how tidy are those bezel stick markers too, and CG chamfer edges is clearly better than ZF and for me it is an instant call out right there. However i know pearl is not as flat as gen and somewhat domed shape like silverclaw said but It look nice and do it for me :)
