{*PCTeam*} KW/V6F Panerai Carbotech 616 small review

[mysterio]

I have now decided to send it back to China for repair of the movement. Hopefully my package would make it through safely.
Few things I want to point out about the watch
The case back is just painted metal not DLC like coating and it could get scratched easily. Same is true for the material used for the watch case.The repair shop tried to open it and left few small scratches.
The superluminova they use is not even close to what is being used on high end watches. ?. It is pretty bright after direct exposure to the sunlight but then gets very dim quickly.
I am not sure about you guys but I am willing to pay more for a watch which is built with even higher quality dial, case and the movement. If you can get 17k watch for let's say 700 to 800 with exceptional quality I won't mind buying it.
What do you guys think ? May be replica companies can read the message and make improvements.

I can't figure out what you're trying to say with this statement "Same is true for the material used for the watch case". Are you saying the case is painted metal and not carbotech?

I meant to say that the case can also get scratched. It is a carbotech case but seems like it can get scratched easily as well. When the watch repair guy tried to open the caseback I noticed a small scratch on the carbotech case as well.

Unscrewing a caseback requires no scratching. That baffles me how he scratched the back. Sticky ball or the correct tool.

Methinks Mr. Watch Repair Guy is not what he claims to be. :lol:

Mysterio you are probably right. The repair guy may be using a hammer and a chisel to open the case.
Hopefully the Chinese factory ( where I have now sent the watch for repair )have some better tools.

I've never have this watch as an option, but after this review I'm thinking on it. Very interesting material and treatment.

I'd like to see it with some kevlar or carbon wristband, rubber doesn't keep the futuristic image of the bezel
