Here are a few KW (V6F) QC pics of my 390 purchased from Sead at an incredible price. I received it last week. After comparing it to the gen and Noob pics (in this thread: https://forum.replica-watch.info/vb...390-Too-close-for-comfort!!-Did-I-get-scammed) I'm pretty happy with the quality. Although, it appears the lug holes may be slightly higher than gen. Considering I paid less for it than my most recent strap purchase, I can't complain. Looking at the lug hole placement in this gen pic I'm not sure it's off by much: http://www.beverlyhillswatch.com/me...utique-edition-dirty-brown-dial-3tdmes-03.jpg

Great looking watch, 390 is one of my favorite PAMs.
These KW are great quality for the price.

Is it the angle or something, there seems to be a noticeable gap btw case and CG.

Just got the QC pics for my 390. Was told that the KW was unavailable from all but one of the TDs I tried so skeptical on if it is in fact a KW...Thoughts would be appreciated.

Checking lug holes and for me it's KW.

Anyway - very well made. On your side, I would take it.

I am also interessted in the 390 and informed and compare Noob vs. KW and personally I think, it don't worth the more of amount for the Noob.

Hey guys quick question?!
So I'm looking to buy the 390 from
Pure time but they have 2 which the first one was Added on: 23 May. 2013 and is labeled PAM390 N NOOB 1:1 BEST EDITION ON BROWN ASSO STRAP for $278 and the other was Added on: 16 Jan. 2015 and is labeled PAM390 N V6F 1:1 BEST EDITION ON BROWN ASSO STRAP A6497 for $198. Just want to know which is the best I can get! I don't mind spending a couple bucks getting the better quality but I also don't mind saving a couple bucks if it's the same quality!

It depends just on the watch you finally get.
KW-V6Fac is a true bargain whatever is the version you get. If you are lucky and get a new 2015 case you will have one of the best versions at a very low price
For Noob you have to assure you get at least a V4 case and if you are lucky you can get also a V4 slim crown, but you need to check the QC pics to assure it.
If you don't get Noob V4 the price is not worth and you should get the KW-V6Fac

Pam luminor 44mm cases seem to be a mess right now. there was someone who ordered a noob, but got what looks to be H-Fac case in QC pics, but the TD insisted it was noob. I ordered a noob and got QC pics of H-Fac, and the TD only admitted after I called them out, I rejected the QC pics, but they insisted that current noob batch was bad so that's why they got me H-Fac. But didn't notify me before I pointed it out so seems like they would have made a nice profit on top since noob is more expensive.
rezolution's bezel looks a bit like a H-Fac bezel, edges seem sharper, the reflections are not as rounded.
pfmckee5's crown guard doesn't look like a KW, the CG pin is seated correctly instead of more right and closer to the right edge like on typical KW CG pin (maybe new improved batch?)
for me I just got a KW 390 and the caseback engravings are slightly wrong, the OFFICINE PANERAI font is slightly too thin, and the case number, serial number part is too high and close to the pig.

this all seems to be a mess right now.

For that^^^ it seems the best way is, to buy a KW.

pfmckee5's 390 must be a KW, because of the postion of the lug holes...?
