Another KW unpackaging: KW388

Recommended Posts

Vbmrk

So here's another thread on the new KW388 just received a few hours ago.

 

Well-packaged as usual

EBB5F11E-E6B8-4579-8B0B-F0AF0CA26447-8161-0000050DFE6684C6_zpsbf9e68ce.jpg

 

After removing all the bubble-wrap and tape

Plastic removed

Up close

Even closer

The movement

The crown

Opposite side

Obligatory lume shots (after about 10secs of exposure to a small LED flashlight)

755FB066-36ED-4E0E-9949-561FDB52E310-8161-0000050E42EEBD66_zps12ba3697.jpg

In the dark lume shot

If anyone is wondering, my initial reaction is this is a stunning watch. Even the rep strap is well made I think. I'll post some more shots (including a wrist pic) over the next few hours. Planning on wearing it to a wedding reception tomorrow.

Completely off the scale.

 

Nice selection for a wedding.

 

That 388 would look sensational with a Black suit and crisp, white collared shirt.

 

Nice lume as well.

 

Awaiting mine anxiously.

Yeah, I'll get a better understanding of how good the lume is over the next few days, but initial reaction is its quite good.

Lol, didn't realize that would be in demand. I'm actually a bit surprised that its the standard luminor protector and not the radiomir one.

 

Stunning, simply stunning.

Thanks mate. I'm expecting another very special delivery today. ;)

I'll be wearing it with a grey suit/white shirt, and I suspect it'll look stunning. You're gonna love it when you get it.

Here's a quick wrist shot with the KW359 in the background.

Really nice watch and stunning manufacture. Congrats Mehmet

I like more and more last KW replicas

I would like to know now the opinions of people against Kuvarsit!

This is to deny the evidences

I announced already this way when the release of PAM boutique KW PAM 417

Then it was a matter of gen-like feel leaving aside some flaws in accuracy. Now we have together accuracy and gen-like feel... almost the perfection

You feel with KW watches that you are wearing a thing made with care

I have the KW 359 and KW 505, both are simply stunning. The 388 will get ordered this week, although this topic is making me want to order tonight!! These are great reps, I love them. Thanks for sharing.

I ordered pam 505 a few day ago for the first time with KW. Now I am waiting for it.

I will check the quality when I receive it. If it looks pretty good same as the pics.

I have plan to order more. :giggle:

Mehmet does take lovely pictures but they are really great watches to begin with. :)

So now that I've had this on my wrist for a day or two here's some observations:

1) the rotor is slightly on the loud side. It's not distracting or anything, but it's there. I've heard this is an easy fix, so if someone wants to let me know how I'd appreciate it.

2) the rep strap, while looking nice, is just a rep strap. I've certainly had worse, but this strap is just ok I'd say.

 

Having said all that, I'll also say I still love this watch. Also, the lume is very good. Yesterday was an overcast day and when I came inside the watch was glowing.

Looks like the lume is indeed very good.
