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

[Xman]

Great job as always Ale, this is becoming one of the highest technical reviews ever

 

[shyreplover]

so if the 417 H fac received a super rep status, then what makes the KW? a super duper rep?

H-417 will continue being a Super rep and maybe KW-147 will be BETTER Super rep.

It is the same with H maker-243 and Noob V2-243

Easy, isn't it?

I'd like to see the crown tube

I just finished taking the watches apart and taking pics of everything.
The crown tube will be in the final case review

OMG!
I can assure that Klockis is making a DAMN GOOD job
You cannot even imagine how many time he is spending in this review
Without this nice and tireless job the KW review would not be possible.
We all can be grateful !!
Many thanks

Recieved mines.

First impression... lighter weight? and the stap lugs seem to push the strap closed to the watch body(touching) where as the noob 111v3 does not.


Will take pics later.

 

[tranzmizzion]

2nd impression, it's just the strap. my gunny and orloff do not touch the case.

 

[tranzmizzion]

Lume isnt as strong.


Strap is actually really nice.

You're comparing to the 111v3 right?

 

[tranzmizzion]

Yes. Will take pics side by side when i can.

Bummer about the weight though. A light watch that isnt supposed to be that light kills the overall feel for me. I've got a KW417 incoming anyway, so I'll see first hand. QC pics have nice sharp inner corners, but the CG doesnt seem to fit as flush as noob cg/cases but its tolerable.

Anxiously waiting on Ale and Klockis to get that review out!

Lighter..... Its not "light".... But the first impression handling it is it seems lighter than past pam offerings.

 

[agfa421]

would be nice to have some data about the exact weight

 

[GWT#1]

I have digital scales when mine arrives I will get exact weight!! compared to my other pams 111n, 366"FU", 000. That will give an idea where it is as far as weight!

mine still between china and US bummer!! waiting anxiously!

This is the point!! and the correct way

It seems... Likely it is... it is no worth...

Getting the exact weight is the final test

Best comparison with Fu and 000 with solid caseback and sausage dial.

Anyway we would need the comparison to the gen watch too !!!
What happens if the current repliucas are heavier ? I really don't know. But I'm afraid all them are +-10 gr.

Some pics I took comparing 111v3 (vac), 390 in noob case, and the KV 417.

And some others:

I already did.
The KW is a bit lighter then the others. (The Noob is a 111N with open CB)

Thanks Klockis useful as always
Could you indicate the real content in each box?
Could you check the weight of the separate case with bezel, without crystal, caseback, CG.... ?

Anyway we would need the weight of the GEN to compare!!

The H maker difference could be due to the different structure of H maker case. Completely different structure of case and bezel.
As Klockis is seeing in his current review of 417, KW, Noob and GEN have the same structure of case, and H maker is different as commented too by Angus in his famous review of Noob M-series and H maker.

Thanks

So sad about the lugs!

Here's the weight of genuine articles :

PAM005 : 120 grams

PAM 111 : 132 grams

 

[tranzmizzion]

so the KW is closer to gen in weight? interesting.
