PAM 382 Bronzo - QC Pics allowed Thread

[PAM1983]

I just ordered a ZF V4 - I can´t figure out if they are all to the pink side or if it is only some of them? I have the impression that - apart from the bronze - the ZF is a more correct rep. - sure I will be corrected if I am wrong. But I would really like to hear from ZF owners about the color? Anyway cleaned and abused in the Ocean the pink will be all gone. Will be back with qc pic if I am in doubt.

Will do - just learned that in stock means in Stock at the factory[emoji29].

Nice find if you found one in 26mm

45 looks off but other than that everythng looks good. I wonder if ZF crown and cg can be installed on KW, anybody know?

Even ZF is using the smaller crown

Yeah I noticed - but if ever there will be a larger crown - and one will be able to source, that got to be one of the more easy mods.

it's small but it is still bigger than kw in terms of height. width, not there.

I hope it gets here before I am off to Goa….would be nice to dip it in lemon, and then 10 days abuse in the arabian sea. I will try to get pictures that show the actual color when cleaned…

These bronzos are such good reps, and with the seagull mvmt, the price is so good for a real bronze watch I cannot imagine any more time and effort going into "fixing" minor imperfections that only us rep enthusiasts can pick up on. Remeber, this is a rep and the gen is over 25k! Its not a Tag or Omega that could have 3-4 floating around the work place for comparison.

As an original pre-sale bronzo owner who still remembers the pain of the 1st very flawed KW batch getting dumped locally and the painful wait for the 2nd batch to arrive, I can tell you I would have approved these QC pics in a heart beat.

Looking back, im sure I could have found a list a mile long wrong with my 382 out the post, but after 2 years of abuse, cleaning, polishing, diving, katsup, cape cods, sand ect, the Bronzo keeps going strong.

Bronze on my ZF is great. Gone to a beautiful dark patina.

Somehow, the fact that ZF's material hasn't been tested has been equated to it being automatically substandard...

ZF's material is not tested because I didn't got a sample either from the maker or the dealers. I offered a free cost chemical analysis.
Anyway in rep world you cannot assure the quality of the material in all productions

I can just assure that I cannot get a ZF sample, KW sent me immediately a sample of case, the analysis was as you know (real bronze similar to the gen) and the appearance of the material was the same as my KW watch and some KW 372 watches of my friends, whereas ZFac seem different. Just that

Thats just what I am saying ALE. The fact that you haven't been given a sample to test does not mean that the material is substandard. It simply hasn't been tested.
KW sending you a sample is great marketing on their part. Everyone knows that your opinion is much respected on RWI and elsewhere. A good word from you may sell many extra watches...

Yes
But my words are always based in many ours of hard and objective studies and never biased. For all that my opinions are valid and then respected
KW's owner Mehmet sending me a sample took also a big risk, because he knows well that I will publish just the truth
