hi all, very interested in this pam,
anyway is there any TD that can provide regulating and water proofing the watch when i buy from them ?
cause i live in asia and it's quite exepensive for me to buy a watch from a TD then send it to a modder to water proof and regulate the movement,
the shipping cost back and forth can buy me another watch :(
so it will be great if theres a TD that can do that for me so i just need to pay for the shipping once.
thank you.

KW 389 is my favourite Submersible, despite the case inaccuracy. It is all in the beauty of the ceramic bezel.

Lume looks good, the watch looks very smart! I like it. Not usually a fan of the PAMs like this one, but definitely keen on this one!

OK, good choice
Regarding CG pin we cannot make a decision from the showed pics
Anyway this will not be very important in real size.
ALL details in a rep will never be perfect

Crown guard pin "protruding" is an easy fix. I wouldn't worry too much about it. a small tap with a plastic hammer and you are gtg

Could that just be the white balance of their photos though?

Wonder if different model years have different coloring on dials too. Seems to be a lot of different pics that show variation of dial color lettering online. Not Sure if Gen or Rep either when looking.
