Gen has P.9003? How could ZF totally missed this if that were true?

I think this is just a mashup to disturb KW release. I can't believe they will release it as it is, esp. considering ZF's usual price tag.
I just don't get why all makers focus on the same watches. What if a maker makes a model and another maker another model? Considering the accuracy of current reps, wouldn't it be a win/win scenario?

Again i think we should wait and see. Real KW photos have not been released yet. Lets see them once they are out and then we will compare.
I just sincerely hope this does not turn into a 382 thread fiasco.

Yeah, defenately not on super rep level...

It will be impossible to get a Super rep level with a decorated inverted movement. We would need at least a real Clone to start

I agree completely. This makes no sense

BTW, ZF's datewheel is misaligned... :fuelfire:

Kuvarsit has confirmed that Perfect Clones watch is KW. But it is a prototype to be improved not the final product

ZFac "release" is obviously an answer to PCl-KW "release"

Then I agree with Ruski we should wait and see.

But we can know the final: two expensive semi-good (semi-bad??) reps released as fast as possible due to an absurd competition

People will get boring in the future. I'm already beginning...

We should not hear about those "releases" and remain on silence without comments until a correct final product is in the market. But we are (myself included) starting threads and threads... about "possible" and future watches asking makers for a fast delivery and even making pre-order payments
We are, in some way, guilty of this situation

Do you remember the release of PAM 382 Bronzo? Well, at this moment we have not yet got a correct version of this watch.

I too a getting tired of this ZF versus KW competition and the fact that you need to buy both versions and piece them together to get a watch that is only mildly better.

Also, I feel dirty every time I see a KW release with their damned recessed cannon pinion. You'd think they'd figure out how to take care of that detail.

Noob seems to have shifted focus to other brands and let ZF and KW have all the Panerai fun. We need some Noob releases.

Realizing all these pics are early versions and the final version will look different, my biggest criticism of the kw(?) rep on pc's website are as follows:
1) CP - Based on pics it seems recessed in the rep
2) Lume color looks darker
3) DW Font - Rep font is WAY off.

Hopefully they fix these items before releasing.

1) That will be hit and miss as always
2) We cannot assure that by the pics
3) I'm afraid this matter will not be solved because KW date wheels are like that, with BOLDER fonts. See my PAM 505 review
ZFac DW is a bit better (as showed in the revew) but not at all accurate either.
