Why the huge issue with crystal distortion when many gens show the same issue? The dome shape of the crystal will always distort the dial to some extent. Crystal distortion is one of the charms of this watch.

Yes distortion but i dont think it should be a line/break through it

Thank you very much mate, I was indeed missing something :)
The effect is much weaker than what is shown in the other thread though

My 127 is delayed while PT try to source a better pam 360. Was not happy with the crown guard, slot for lever just not well made at all. A small thing but worth getting right... Hope to have the 127 by next week.

To the vets ,, if I plan to purchase the wso crystal anyway I'm leaning towards zf, however I'd be interested in your feedback given my plan for the crystal modification?

Finally arrived! Of course I had to change the strap to the one I made last night.

I ordered WSO crystal last month and it was bust. Too much harsh blue tint was simply deal breaker. Distortion was slightly better but excessive blue tint made me return it.
It seems like whatever WSO has now are diferent from early batch which made many members here happy about couple of years ago. Please share your own experience of WSO crystal if you happened to order recently.

Ohh that's a shame, my experience with WSO crystal back then about 2 years back was good, well if I order WSO crystal again I'll share my experience but first, need me get my hands of one of these 127 :) thanks for the heads up cheers

Do You think guys both KW and ZF will fix the minute hand shape later in one of upcomming batches because minute hand keeps me away from ordering one for myself.

Sorry for a noob question, but does gen's lume work anythime and without recharge from the sun?
As I have kw 312 it's always have to recharge from light to lume again.
But I know some watches that will lume all the time.
What kind of lume in kw 127?
