I'm still waiting for the 382 with a good crown. The crown on the newly released 507 rep doesn't look that great either. So my hopes for a good 382 are down. :(


Just got QC pics from TD who says it has the FAT crown. Do you agree? I still see a lot of the nut next to the crown - will it waterproof? Any other concerns? Thanks.

If anyone can repost the pictures, I don't have the post count for attachments yet. Thanks.
Looks like a skinny crown to me. The edges of the crown also seem to be chamfered a lot, which makes it look smaller too. The gen crown is almost straight.

You can see the gen crown really nicely in this youtube video

Your crown looks thicker but has no chamfering at all at the edges. This looks kinda off to me, as if it is unfinished.

My Bronzo (KW) from toro purchased in May had a thick crown and the correct chamfer on the bezel. I refused three others before snagging mine.
They're still out there but you may have to refuse a few before seeing one.

Has there been any word on what the ZF material is? I know that there wasn't an analysis done and the PAM guide hasn't changed to say that there has been one.

I can believe the Thick crown, but the correct chamfered....

Anyway it would be an exception
Pics will be welcome

I have no news about a ZF material analysis

[MENTION=35350]ALE7575[/MENTION] I'm about to order the ZF v4..
Is it safe to say that currently the ZF v4 is the best version for 382 out there?
Need your recommendations...
Thanks

Nothing is safe on reps world

A good KW-V6Fac unit will be better than a ZFac V4.
KW remains IMO in a bit higher level due to the lume, dial, CP and overall finish. Besides we have an analysis of the KW bronze material confirming it is really similar to the gen material (we have no confirmation for ZFac)
The main problem of KW V6Fac version is that currently it has some inconsistencies on quality and even many items without chamfered corners and with thin crowns

So this is a lottery
You can assure nothing with these reps
