There are no magnificent reps of this watch
The most accurate PAM 382 is KW. The only thing worse in this version in relation to ZFac is the outer upper polished edge of the bezel. It is also inaccurate in ZFac, because it is narrower and few polished, but KW is very small and almost non polished. Lastly KW uses to come without chamfered CG corners, but this is a matter of luck
The material is important in this kind of watch. We can assure that KW is a real bronze very similar to gen:

I was not able to get a sample from ZFac to make the analysis

Hopeful that one of these days we will see gen like polished edges on the bronzo. Kills me that the makers accomplished this well for the 571 and virtually nothing else...

As far as I know PAM 571- PAM 569 and PAM 305 come with correct edge
PAM 243 well polished but narrower

thx!
Im still waiting o a new watch from SEAD. Hopefully Sead can find something before Feb1st or Chinese New Year.
How do people generally feel about the distressed leather strap that comes with it? Thinking of ordering one for my 389, love the look.
Seems to be a batch problem.
I am waiting on new QC pics from my TD. Might be a month or longer since the Chinese New Year is upon us in a few weeks and everything shuts down in China at that time.
Question is how long will it take for us to get the chamfered version? Or just accept it ifs he rest is ok?

No idea. Its hard to tell when a new batch will be out. My TD just got back to me today and had another watch sent to him of which he sent back for "other" issues and not the issues we had with the Edges not chamfered. So I'm not sure if he is waiting on a new batch or a new batch is out and he just had issues with the watch movement. My TD is a man of few words.
That being said I will post qc pics as soon as i get them. We will see what he found. just hang tight for a little bit longer. Also he said it would be shipped before chinese new year. thats a plus.
Toro keeps sending me QC photos but there is always something wrong with it, None of the watch had chamfered edges.
1st one was pretty good but the date window didnt look lined, so I asked for a check, and he gave me a whole new watch with busted crown guard cut out, so I turned that down and the 3rd one he sends the 12 o clock marker is touching the first l line. Gotta turn that down as well.

Ah the time was no good on the first one. The search continues. Big thanks to Toro.

Design wise it's pretty nice and I'd love to try the real deal but the rep feels like rough paper on the wrist. Best thing I ever did was getting a nice green custom strap, also makes the dial "pop"
Thank you, everyone for the replies. Does the leather just need conditioning or it's just going to be crap no matter what? And is the gen distressed strap just as bad..?
I can't imagine anything could be done with the standard one, it feels dried and cracked. If that makes sense. I suggest you treat yourself to something similar if you like the look, or go more custom like I did. Can't seem to embed picture from Flickr, but https://flic.kr/p/yidHpY and https://flic.kr/p/yjBVaL
