QC pics help..

Hello guys.

I have ordered PAM 411kw from Sead.
I have received some qc pics that he took but the dial looks like a brown dial (tobacco) instead of a black dial.. I know the 411 dial must be black. I heard KW produced 411 with tobacco dial but the dial already had been changed to black dial.

I requested him to double check the dial whether the dial was black or not but he told me the dial looked like black but a little brownish..
What I thought it would depend on lighting condition but when he sent me qc pics for my another PAM before, the dial was absolutely black.
However, I cannot judge what dial color it is at this time. The shipping is delaying because of this..

I would greatly appreciate if you guys could help me with..

Thank you..

I've been bought 417KW with issued dial. It's differnt with brown dial 390 for certain. but not black too.
in my eyes, It was in middle position. black > 417(brown) >390.
lightening condition was a big impact on that dial. I think it's because of finishing coat of dial.

If it was me, I request more QC photo. If possible, with 390 or 000.
or consider to buy 411 all new H-fac.

i have the exact watch. Definitely not deep black, but no brown hue either. Probably a lighter black.

Thanks for your reply mate.
Is your watch also KW one? You mean the dial looks totally different with a tobacco dial?

Dont worry mate :)
So do you think it is normal? I saw ALE's post that he mentioned 411 dial is black though.. Or only 411 rep has a 'middle black' dial?

To my eyes that's a brown dial. Brownish? Its either black or it's not. I receiveded a 417kw as a gift with a brown dial & wasn't pleased. Ask him for a black dial or choose another model.

I already asked him to double check the watch but I wonder whether only 411kw has the brownish dial..
Still consider to switch a H fac one..
