About time guys. So....what we have here. A little bird told me that this thing from ZF was 4 days away from being released and as usual, it's Ti DLC, not actual ceramic.

Nice, but these DLC cases scratch so easily its really hard sell for me as a super rep. Great job though.

Thanks for tweeting, jam ;)

Looks very good. For me it doesnt mater if its made from ceramic or DLC plated. Its no super rep, case maybe used from 305 with another dial.

Hope that the price will be good, close to the 305. Than its a must have for me.

Let's hope the bezel now turns correctly, not like many of Bronzo's crooked bezel. CG pin also doesn't look that good, might be a one-off.
I really like this one. Too bad ceramic PAM reps are still not a norm nowadays.

As long as the aesthetics are good, it's all I care about. No one is analyzing the molecular structure of my watch when I'm wearing it.

The lume in gen is much more vintage colour.
I hope ZFac will correct it

With the material being so far off from the gen I wonder why even bother. At the prices I'm sure it'll hit I would expect more accuracy.

Why do you guys ask about KW on every release ? Is it a Pam thing ? When a new AP is released I dont see people saying " Omg ! I can't wait for Noob/J12 release ". If you like it , buy. Seems pretty easy to me. If you're a nit picker keep waiting on the sidelines till 2033 because no rep will ever be perfect.

Pec , most Panerais look the same
This is why I mainly buy submersibles. They have a more unique look and aren't kid sizes.

Heh I was expecting that question from you. :) Because $400-500 is a lot of money for me being 22 and on college so if I'm paying that much for a watch I would like it to be as best as possible for my money and I keep reading mostly positive comments on KW while there is a lot of people complaining on quality control of ZF. That being said, I still didn't have a watch from any of them but per what I read I would rather get KW (it's just my opinion). I don't mind waiting for release from other factories or different versions of the same watch before I decide to get it as I'm not in hurry at all. I don't mind some flaws, I can even live with big ones but if the same watches (let's say 508) from two different factories costs about the same, I would rather get one that I think is better than the other. It will probably be 2033 until I'll be able to get all from my wish list.
:hehehe:

You're basing your purchases off conjecture spread on a forum. The point of the hobby is to enjoy and see the variety of pieces. This infatuation with insignificant flaws is doing nothing but ruining the hobby.

can someone find a pic comparing DLC on rep with Ceramic on gen? How big is the difference?

Imagine in your mind one that looks full and matte ... That is how gen ceramic looks.

Now imagine something that looks like shit and not even close to the original...... DLC.

Your replies are always awesome Brother BMW! Sidetrack, the KW Pams are totally nowhere to be seen. Except for some teaser pics..here and there...a full blown one hasn't come into the radar. I think it was done on purpose. To slow down zfac sale of the 382. Business 101. Hehehe..
