PAM 359 Vs. PAM 359 :)

[Brool]

Hi All;

I first want to say that i am amazed buy the work you guys are doing here! i was in total shock for the dedication shown here.
This is my first post after reviewing and reading some of the materials provided here as preparation to my first PAM replica purchasing

I am pretty sure already that i want the PAM359 as my first watch (this unless you guys think i should consider other one )
i have looked into the following two from KW:

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)][FONT=&quot]1:1 PAM 359 N SERIES KW BEST VERSION.[/FONT][/COLOR]

[COLOR=rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.870588)][FONT=&quot]1:1 PAM 359 N SERIES KW BEST VERSION.SEAGULL ST2555[/FONT][/COLOR]
http://www.kuvarsitwatch.co/kw-products/panerai/1-1-pam-359-n-series-kw-best-version.seagull-st2555/

i have read most of the great guide posted by ALE7575 (https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...earch-Identification-Evaluation-amp-Selection) and if i get it right than the Seagull st2555 suppose to be more reliable than A-7750.

After reading another great guide and review about the 44mm Cases out there - i understand that KW case considered to be very very good.

KW gives the A-7750 the title "BEST VERSION" and asks for additional 50$ (is it only because of the A7750 or something else)

I am planning on having this watch as my Every Day watch :happy-1: - i will highly (!) appreciate your help in help me out here on which one to purchase

Welcome to the forum
The watch is the same, only movement changes and determines the price difference. They are both as reliable, but 7750 can be fixed more easily if it breaks.
BTW, the comparison thread you refer to is about the luminor bettarini cases, not the luminor 1950.

Hi Haim,

welcome to the forum!! I have the kw 359 and absolutely love it. Not sure if you saw it, but I made a fairly decent review of the watch here: https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/184425-KW-PAM-359-Complete-review

best of luck, and I hope you wind up getting one.

Kilowattore an Ruski91 - thank you guys!

I really enjoyed reading your review Ruski91.

Again, i understand that your 359 is 7750 based. And it's actually what KW refer to as Best Version. From the date i see you have it more than 2 years; have you had any problems with it?

Regards,
Haim

Hey Haim - sorry didnt see this before. If you want to grab someone's attention drop @ before there name and it will show up as a notification for them. I have had it for over 2 years. Its the 7750 movement. Runs like a charm. Maybe a few seconds slow per day after all this time. The case/dial/ and everything else except for the movement should be exactly the same. Now you have two options:

1) A7750 Movement
2) St2555 Movement

The 7750 is more expensive but probably a little more reliable. And more watch-smiths will work on it if there is a problem. Parts are readily available should something go wrong. That being said, the Balance wheel on the movement is at 11 so it looks inverted or off from gen which has the balance wheel at 7. Some people knock this movement because they dont fully understand the issue with it. 7750 is only an issue when you have gear transfers for seconds at 6. Since you do not have this here, you are absolutely fine.

The St2555 movement looks great because it has the balance wheel at 6 so its closer to gen. but i feel that this movement is not as strong as the 7750. I had the ST2555 in one of my watches before and it had some minor issues after a year of wearing it.

Either way - i definitely recommend this watch. it is awesome and you will love it.

Haim, there are some rules you should be aware of when posting QC pics. Please take a look at them before you post.
Glad we were all able to help. Best of luck and enjoy your new watch. We want to see pics when it arrives!!

Thank you for the head-up!!

I went to read the rules (or 'purpose of qc pics') - it is more clear now!
I defiantly referred to something else (as quality manager i misinterpreted the forum meaning for qc pics..)
