{*PCTeam*} KW PAM 661 Carbotech review

[sasas]

it feels slimmer on the wrist than i.e. pam 312 or 441. Definitely

A good news again. I hope to get mine soon....

Damn, another one to the never ending list...
Thanks Polonus, great (and very tempting) review!

Looks so much better than expected. Far better than the 616.
I was worried about the lume on the numbers. The KW 571 I received has brilliant lume on the indices, but is pitiful on the 12 and 6 Numerals. A real shame, as it is otherwise a beautiful piece!

The problem with lume is that it is "vintage" so less luminous and hour indexes are probably quite deep providing quite a lot of room for luminova. As effect, arabic numerals are luminous at approx. 60% of hour indexes power.

I dont like black watches. I dont like black watches. I dont like....
Damn, now the list has 3 first places. This carbotech is really tempting and your review is strongly pushing me over the edge.

Apparently this Pam 661 uses double AR (inside and outside the crystal) which is pretty unusual for Panerai to have double AR, and [MENTION=28281]PolonusTM[/MENTION] had to remove the outer layer of AR because he scratched it.

KW PAM 661 Carbotech review

This is genuine and it looks like Panerai standard one-sided, internal AR. I suppose KW did it both sides to get that "wow" factor when in hand

...it looks like I did the right thing by removing outer AR

Yeah mate I thought so, because like I said it is pretty unusual for Panerai to use double AR. Nonetheless, the effort from KW is good I guess, the double AR will boost the beauty of the dial .

Yes but the outer AR will go off with the time

Mine is on the way, I really curious about the double AR effect on hand.

 

[sasas]

Anyway, how you can remove the AR coating without leaving traces?

Diamond polishing paste.

hi guys,i haven't found any review about the rep asso strap from KW is it good ? because if i see the pic of gen asso strap the colour of the rep is darker
is it wise to change it into black calf / rep rubber strap ?

As I see the diffrence is not so significant, and don't forget, the leather is ageing, and turning to be darker. So, you can a little "massage" with your fingers to be the effect more "oily"
I'm afraid, the black strap is not the best solution in this case..
