OK... I have some news:

- I've been told KW actually is owning gen PAM 661
- they tried many ideas to make this new casework possible while keeping it a secret from ZF and SF guys to prevent them to copy the idea
- the rep casework IS 15,6 mm thick!
- KW will provide GEN vs REP photos I will try to post today. If I get them.

so far:

Eagerly awaiting those rep vs gen pictures [MENTION=28281]PolonusTM[/MENTION]. ;) By the way, can you ask KW if they can use a digital caliper to measure the thickness? The gen is reportedly 15.65mm while the rep using an analog caliper is 15.6 (hard to eyeball .01mm on that resolution of 0.1mm but if they have access to a digital caliper that would be a precise measurement). :D

So what's it gonna take to make you go over the edge? :lol:

Looking on this mechanical caliper's dial shows that full circle is 0,02mm - so, judging by the partially visible hand, it is around 15,56-15,57 reading. Keep in mind that good analog caliper is more stable/accurate than digital :) I expect watch this Friday or Monday - will use digital caliper / electronic scale / handy hammer to see what is it made from ;)

Following this measurement...
Thickness would be 16,6 no 15,6. Isn't it?

ALE

BTW: measurement with mechanical caliper is good enough no needed digital one

That said 16,6 mm would not be very bad for a rep
Few noticeable in the wirst

Presuming it's calibrated ALE. ;) That is one hard sucker to calibrate compared to a digital one. And judging from the rust/grime on the legs, I might hazard a guess that it's not. Anyway, we are talking millimeters here. Just thought, hey you've attempted to measure it, why not use a properly set and calibrated measuring device? ;)

Yes, I agree
We will wait for a final and definitive measurement

I just got my PAM661, I can assure you that it slimmer than 441 both the case and the CG, CG looks pretty well done too

I will take some side by side pics later today, and will share with you all.

Nevertheless, the watch is damn nice and light

Just got word that stock of the PAM661 has become low due to some issue. I hope my order gets through. :(
