Crystal appears better than my noob but as good as on my noob 217. Not sure if the rest of the watch is good enough to replace my noob 127 however. Think I will keep what I have.

Keep what you have and mod it :)
I see that KW really did good with 127.

Thanks Polonus for starting this interesting thread and give us the opportunity to see those magnificent videos to get a clear idea about the matters you are commenting
Thanks also to peterpl, ice_gee and mainly kilowattore for the pics and comments

This is the best thread about new and old versions of PAM 127

Maybe the ZFac has more accurate case shape but overall are better Noob and KW

ALE
Where would these new versions (zf and kw) fall on your scale? Are they super reps? Do you have enough info to make a judgement?

I should re-read all the info about, and make some more deep comparisons, but as far as I have seen, KW is almost the same as Noob if not better. Bear in mind that things have changed from the times of "old" Noob PAM 127. Some years ago we were willing to admit some flaws, now, with the current level of the reps an mainly PAMs, we have the bar much higher. Therefore, maybe KW has more gen-like appearance and maybe better finish than "old" Noob with the current standards of quality, production and buyer acceptance, and this would be very decisive and important.

I have my doubts about ZFac, nice rep of course, but I don't know if at the same level. Besides ZFac is always less consistent regarding quality than KW and Noob

Interesting points made here. After looking through the different threads, it looks as if the definitive winner is the Kw. It seems to be liked more universally. You definitely can't go wrong with either, but given the fact that they're the same price, the kw seems to be the smarter option.

{*PCTeam*} Quick&Dirty KW PAM 127 comments

I'm not so long into Panerai as many other guys here but I must say the KW PAM127 is the best PAM rep I have ever seen. The building quality is just amazing. The hole feel and look of the watch is really stunning. Well done KW, I'm impressed.
The crystal has much less disturbance in real life as at some pics I have seen.
Here some pics from the KW127 at sunlight

Some little flaws? I don't care because I used to be a AP-guy and for me is this PAM truly a super rep. Nobody will ever notice a flaw at this watch in real life and at the wrist.

Congrats Chris haven't stopped wearing mine since I got it. You can't appreciate this watch until you have it.

Maybe you've not been so long into PAMs as others, but you have an eye for detail that few members have. Your opinion is much valued, wear this beauty in health! :thumbsup:
