The KW vesrion will be out soon, so u should wait, nobody knows how accurate it will be. Usually, KW makes really nice reps, with a "gen-like" feeling on the wirst.

I understood that this hybrid has been done just to reply to the huge demand about PAM127. They took parts from everywhere to build one or something which looks like... If "my" TD told me to stay away from this, so no gain for him, that must be a crap... A lot of "flaws" but mainly hugly lume and bad plexi, right in your face :D

Swan Neck spring seems a bit matt and without shine but the SHAPE is very gen-like, really awesome.
The micrometric screw has also correct length

This Swan Neck spring could be a revolution !!

Have someone got a watch of these or have some links from a dealer to see more pics of the movement??

Ale they are all different because they are assembled from left overs but as I understand it, the new KW batch will be released according to gen...to be compared with a Marlin piece

Wow yeah, just saw your comment and looked again, the distortion on the crystal in the 3rd and 4th pics are quite bad. But looks like its the extreme angle. on Marlin's pics even the WSO crystal is liek this as this angle.

any thoughts?

Toro says the ones he has are noob, but lume on dial is not as good as previous version.
Also judging from these pics its a low beat movement also. I saw someone listing up a low beat 127 decorated movement for sale, said it was brand new from TD. can't seem to find that post anymore, can't even remember which forum. I wonder why they would be making these with low beat movements, or if they are finding old stock to use.
low beat and lower quality lume is a bit of a downer.

found the sale:
http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=206071&highlight=127
Interesting thing is look at the alignment of the incabloc in this sale and the pics of the 127 in this thread, they are both aligned about perpendicular to the dagger regulator, I don't think i have seen this before. of all the 127 movements I've only seen the incabloc mostly parallel to the dagger regulator, but then again, I've not seen a low beat 127 movement either.
at least this seems to indicate that the movement sold here, is from the same batch being used in these new 127s from some factory.

This movement also has a more accurate swan neck curve, but matte finish and correct length micrometric screw just like in the pics of the 127 here.

It's the same swan neck found on old h-fac movements. this swan neck is standard on all the low beat OP XI copies. I have one of these. they come brushed and if you polished them, they will required re-plating.

GivenGiven the pics on TB's site, I am not impressed. Other than the SN/MM Screw, there are a few things that are a step backward for sure. Not impressed with the crystal either, at least not from the pics. There is potential here but as far as modding goes, this is more work than the last Noob offering... For a person that just wants a 127 on the wrist, at least there is an option.

I saw it on TB's site last night as well, i agree the crystal has some seriously bad distortion, the crystals on these seem to be getting worse on each batch. but at least on a small seconds hand a low beat isn't so noticeable.
there's also option from PT: http://pure-time.com/product/pam127-e-sf-black-dial-on-brown-leather-strap-a6497/ but even with the flaws i think the new noob version from TB is still better for those who just want a 127.

They aren't the same watch. Same as in the same unit? serial number is different. The same factory? I doubt it as well. CP is different, the lever tip is different, CG is different, dial is different, etc.
