asked two TDs and they both said no. Yes, rotor just presses on. I have all screws but threads are stripped and they don't stay in and I don't want to (gasp) glue them in.

Oh man... Hate to tell you this but they were not screwed in to begin with and or are they stripped. They were glued into place from the factory. This is how the deco plate with the rotor is put together to look gen.
Does anyone know if the PAM 382 V4 is made of real bronze? I read previously that ZF factory didn't perform too well in the bronze composition analysis vs KW but that was some time back. Anyone have any knowledge on this?

I've read that before thanks! I just need a new freakin deco plate and three screws! Wish there was a replica watch parts store in my town........lol
don't buy the bronzo from the Zf Factory it's plated not real bronze I got **** on that ! I just got my KW bronzo and it's great very close to Gen not like that carp zf factory one !!!
Phew thanks for the advice, helped me dodge a bullet there. The CG also does look too small and there's that ugly silver tubing. I'll ask Kuvarsit if he can source for another.
Any of you 382 (KW) owners….can you see part of the bronze looking through the back of the watch?
You do realize that sometimes a patina will form that looks like plating has rubbed off. The ZF is not plated. It's been around long enough where there would have been a lot more noise about it. The talk of ZF's composition comes from the fact that they didn't provide ALE with a case to cut and have analyzed. Doesn't mean it's not bronze. It just means we don't know the exact chemical makeup. My ZF v4 looks pretty damn good.
Having seen a plated version - where you Can see absolutely no bronze through the caseback... Just wondering how it looked on a massive?

You must be using Google translate as I am still lost. The caseback of the PAM382 isn't bronze but Titanium as it is to prevent sweat (which is water with salt, similar to sea water) which would cause patina to develop, not a desirable outcome.
No no - I mean the inside of the casing - seen through the crystal on the back [emoji39]

Hi guys, 3rd QC from Kurvasit and I'm on the brink of giving up and getting a 511 instead. Any comments on this?
Does anyone notice the 12 (ll) look a bit slanted or is it just me?
Even if it is, is there a way I can adjust it myself?
