Ryan @ InTime. He is simply the best I have dealt with, now up to 6th or 7th purchase
from him. Great after sales service too.

Thanks for your input Ale. I've been doing some research on this movement ever since KW updated the P.9000 with this but I can't find a comparison between this and the A7750. Maybe a comparison in regards to quality and reliability doesn't exist. If you have any experience that would be great!

I prefer Seagull movement, more reliable

This is strange.. Is this the seagull movt? Balance cock doesn't seem to be on the bottom

Edit: my bad.. Saw the pic of the balance wheel on top.. My eyes....

Your eyes !!

The balance wheel is @6 then AT THE BOTTOM !!

Gen is @7. Very near. But balance cock is always inverted.

oh my ... this is too much.. KW finishing on a SS rad case... im up for this.. if not super rep then at least 1st class status!

We have an awesome finish and most likely big accuracy. Case-set seems almost perfect.
It seems only flaws are a bit little date fonts and fatter lume in hands like PAM 505.
It has an impressive gen-like feel
Material is completely accurate since it is polished SS
The only "problem" is a fantastic decorated movement, the most accurate in the market, but clearly inaccurate for an eye with some knowledge.
This will be IMO the only obstacle to get Super rep status, following our current criteria.
Most likely a Very good First Class rep bordering Super rep status.

One of the most beautiful reps nowadays

Yes, yes and yes. Here I told myself that I am not buying reps for a long time. This is a must. I must have a Rad.

388 vs. 380.. Tough.. Wondering if to sell my 380 for this... hmm.. Like the thinness of the 380 and closed CB.. Would not want more than one radiomir..

Looking forward ALE to your detailed review on the 388.

I've ordered one regardless. On the balance of pics and what KW did with the 505, don't think I'll be disappointed.
