Thoughts on PAM 505 options...

Hi! I'm new to RWI although I've been reading and researching for a couple of weeks now. I'm very interested in a high quality Radiomir Rep, and don't mind shelling out for a good one. It seems around here like KW is generally best regarded for their Panerai reps, but I've seen some evidence that things are falling off the inside due to the type of adhesive used. Nevertheless it seems like it's one of the best I can find, which I've narrowed down to the KW 505 or the PerfectWatches 505. The PerfectWatches version claims to have an ETA movement, but I've heard a lot of people on this forum tear them a new one for shady business practices and upcharging. I'm wondering...are these two reps I've linked in fact the same watch, with PW just upcharging almost double? Or is it really a nicer watch with an ETA movement? And even if it is nicer, is it worth dealing with their bad business practices?

Hmmm...

Thanks in advance to anyone with experience who can help :)

No need for the ETA movement or even Perfect Watches -- it doesn't even have it. Stick with our TD's. The KW is a great piece and I'd go forward full blast if its caught your eye.
