Honestly, watch looks good to me. Maybe [MENTION=35350]ALE7575[/MENTION] can comment on the KW caseset regarding the lug holes..

New generation of 44mm LUMINOR casesets - **[ QC pics allowed ]**

Ordered a PAM 417 KW for just over a week ago. Recived this CQ from a previous order(?), don't seem like my actual watch has been ordered from the factory. The seller informed that the latest KW batch had problems with a "brownish" colored dial and I started to get gold feet. Anyway, here's the image he provided. Any input about it guys?
I thought the brownish dial has been rectified? I just ordered one and didn't seems to have that problem.
Well let's hope so. After all, now when aware of the issue I guess I will notice on the CQ images on my watch later.
anyone order a 088 from hfac, noob , or kw? I’m debating on which to order atm and could use input on what the case cg bezel dial and crystal
088 Noob is out of stock, which might help in your decision if you really want to buy it now.
Yeah I read that in the forums, I’m mostly concerned how the specs rack up relative to each other once new stock comes available, or whether there is news for new launches
From [MENTION=35350]ALE7575[/MENTION] sticky:
EVALUATION: (**) SUPER REP (H maker I-series & N-series)
EVALUATION: (*) FIRST CLASS REP low level (F-series other reps & I-series DSN)
EVALUATION: (**) SUPER REP (Noob O-series) best option

It seems not a Noob but an Hmaker new caseset (sharper edges and higher bezel base with sharper transition edge)
Any thoughts from another expert??
ALE
It's the latest batch of V4 i assume with inconsistent production. Bezel finishing and caseback font looks Noob to me

Sorry
I didn't see the lever, the caseback and the "S" shape of the bezel reflections
Yes, I think you are right, it is the new batch of V4
Really inconsistent production because the edges seem actually sharper
Thanks for the clarification

You could also be right
As you all can see it is impossible to get conclusions with such differences and inconsistencies in current productions.
ALE
Yes, I stated that it's a Noob due to the fat crown, the CG pin and the sharpen corners in the fonts dial

"I" shape is not actually "used". It is really PRODUCED.
This "I" shape of reflections is produced by the sharp transition edges of the bezel profile.
Yes. H maker is still making shaper edges and the "I" shape continues. Indeed the bezel profile is even more inaccurate than in old versions. But H maker is making a lot of inconsistencies in last productions and you can see some bezels with slightly improved profile (but still more inaccurate than Noob bezel)
Anyway the inaccurate bezel of H maker is really NICE. And the appearance is impressive.
KW bezel is something between Noob and H maker
