Though, Have not heard of any reviews regarding the new 388 with A7750...
Wonders if kw have done anything for the lug screws.
Also from dealer's pics, it seems to me the crown tube length is slightly longer

Following KW information, they have changed movement and fixed lug screws issues

Yes, Pkw...check for decorative parts that are glued on to the rotor coming loose. There is a small center-plate and 3 decorative screw-heads (not screws) glued onto the center of the rotor, and I have seen now at least 3 cases of some of those parts coming loose. In my case, one of the screw-heads had jammed inside the movement, stopping the watch.

I had to disassemble the rotor assembly, and remove the large decorative (P9000) plate, to get to the 7750 movement to dislodge one of those little screw-heads you can see on the rotor from the movement. After this, the watch started running...and has been running well, and keeping great time.
I left them off...and removed the last screw-head that was still on.
I have seen so far 3 of these watches (505 and 388 V2) with this issue.
