uuuggghhh....hate to say that, but mixed fillings:
I know this is your third or fourth try to get a right KW382, all began with the chamfered CG corners, then came the bad painted indexes, and now this, definitely not "the time" to order a KW bronzo now. ...
- I like the homogeneous patina, dial-dw-bezel-markers alignment.
- I do NOT like the CG. I find excesive the gap between crown guard and case. I think that gap, also,makes the lever to rest far away from the case when closed, not nice effect too.
Sorry to add more confusion to you, instead a healthy recomendation.
Breath deep, relax, and take a wise decision, good luck!.
P.S.
A few months ago I ordered a RG PAM from KW that suffered from a similar issue, long visible SS crown tube on a RG radiomir case. Even with the crown fully srewed, that nasty silver tube was visible. After rejecting 2 watches (secind was worst) due to also pourly applied defined luminova (blury numerals). A better third one came into scene with a nice lumed/defined dial numerals, however it has same silver tube crown visilble. I then realized that was a batch factory fault. So I accepted it. Once at home I ran into a local watchsmith to see if he can "cut/short" that crown tube. Luckly, he ciuld, it cost me only one week waitting and a very little amout of money. Problem solved.
