My KW 417 QC pics - (PAM Boutiques Kuvarsit pics and QC pics ALLOWED)

[ALE7575]

Thx Ale for thorough review!

I think, I need to buy one! It sounds very promising! Does anybody know if they are also offering triangle shipping? Man the next few months ate going to be expensive with AP Diver Forged Carbon, the AP 57th street and the Kuvarsit Pam's ...

That review certainly has whetted my appetite. ALE, I hope yours and Klockis' usual detailed reviews with pictures come online soon. I am sure I am not the only one who is eagerly awaiting it. :cheers:

Many thanks friends but this is not a "review" this is just a list of FIRST IMPRESSIONS
Review will come later thanks to cooperation and jobs from klockis, JoehwrfcJ and me.

This is one of the most important events of the last year, a new and interesting step in PAM replicas... and just two comments?

It is really weird !!

No one would dare to comment after your thorough review ALE...
We are all just waiting for the final comparison before we start selling our 44mm Pams and go for this one...

All that is actually far from my intentions
We need more opinions and thoughts

Some disagreements would even be welcome !!

I've read it carefully and seems very promising.

I'm not getting one of these 417.. But as I said before, if KV makes a new 005 with all the improvements I'll buy one for sure!

Thanks Ale for this review!

Can't wait to see a comparison with pics VS GEN and VS Noob V3... This is gonna be EPIC!

I think primarily the reason for not posting comments would be not having the actual watches in hand, of which Joe, Klockis and ALE have the fortune of being in this position. However, if we do see anything in the pictures themselves, we would make comments on that. It would definitely make the reviews much more a collaborative effort. :cheers:

Gen pig

KV pig

Even in a macro looks good enough to me!! In person would be imposible to tell the difference!

 

[shyreplover]

that piggy should be on the 292J dial ASAP!

...
CRYSTAL
Following indications from Kuvarsit it is a gen crystal.

ALE

You mean gen as in gen (Swiss quality or whatever) sapphire - you are not really trying to say crystal is genuine OP part, right ?

Following Kuvarsit owner statements the crystal is GEN.
They are not obviously bought in Panerai, but they are bought in the same maker.
Above mentioned are no verified statements from Kuvarsit

I'd think that is unlikely... Maybe it's a gen spec crystal, but I'd doubt it's OEM. Maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks for clarification Ale. I presume it's more along "Done by Vendor who does for Swiss Genuine Brands" lines, like H-fac use to advertise its crystals.

I can assure that real pig is actually crisp and well defined
Very similar to this gen pic in the same light conditions. The raised inscriptions are very accurate too and with a very nice colour matches with markers lume and hand lume

I'm just repeting Kuvarsit statements. They insist in "the same as gen"

But I agree with you about the real thing. But I really don't know it

A quick comment on the strength of the lume would be greatly appreciated.

In gen dial font corners are a bit rounded?...
