ZF did a better job nailing the inscription color on their pam 312. Even though their built quality is not as good as KW's version, I prefer accurate dial colors than having a watch with better finish. This is why I let go of my pam 312 kw.

Hmm, any way we can switch the zf dial into the KW?

Thanks dabestone for this review
You have proved some interesting differences as the CG pin and the more brownish colour of inscriptions on dial ( O-series gen and rep)
Interesting too the side view and frontal view accuracy
The movement looks really good in comparison with the gen
Nice review
Rep points added and I will include it in PAM GUIDE

great thread.
i am considering 312 or 417
personally i prefer a closed caseback since it is easier to make and usually closer to gen.
however, 417 hasnt fix the lume structure
so i am seriously thinking about 312.

Hi guys

Just an update on a tell

CG lever pin on gens can be both polished AND brushed

My new to me gen 328 has a polished pin

I checked gens (312/328) on TRF as well and both show up

So rest assured, thats not a tell
