[Simced]

Great pics and watch! Not sure if anyone could confirm this but would I be right by saying KW's Asso straps are nicer then noobs?

 

[hykenny]

For those in SG there is a gen PAM 372 & gen PAM 504 sitting on consignment for viewing. You can compare the gen composite color and asso strap.

I do think KW is a little more purple when i saw the gen ..... but it may just be depending on the light source.

IMO KwAsso are better. Anyway KW have two qualities Standard to be delivered with the watch you are buying and a special Asso a bit darker and a little aged.

The gen case is clearly brown.
Therefore, under some light conditions, gen and rep can have some red hue. It is normal

In person, under normal light, the KW505 is a beautiful brown. Lighting and photos might make it appear differently.

Cool ! May drop by Funan to take a look at their collections.
I decided to pull my trigger on this.
Its been hovering in my mind for weeks.
Damn I just got my Noob's LMPO a while back.
