Rep strap no good?

 

Never fear. Panatime Tan Ostrich strap ordered.

 

Happy Days. Now bloody hell get here.

Very nice! I just got the 505 with Asso strap, which is very good. The lume on the 505 is 'vintage' -not as bright as yours.

Looks very nice. Wonder how the thickness compares to the 380 rep (A6497 vs. A7750 movement). The build quality looks on par with 380. Maybe this ostrich would look good on the 388 a well... :Thinking:

The 388 is actually a seagull movement, not 7750.

I'm fairly sure that it's a modified Asian 7750 to look like P9000. Perfect Clones sells the same and lists it as Asian 7750.

Do you have a link for where you bought this one?

It is not at all a modified A7750

It is a Seagul ST2555 modified to get P.9000

Where have you seen an A7750 with the balance wheel @6 ??? ( 7750 has the balance wheel @11)

 

All the catalogues (almost?) announcing KW replicas of this watch have the same mistake, thay are indicating A7750 instead of Seagull ST2555 modified.

This mistake is already commented in PAM GUIDE.

Sorry, my bad, was going off several stated sellers' descriptions.

 

ALE, does this one also have the same modified gen-like feel as well?

Leaving aside movement KW PAM 388 seems an impressive gen-like feel watch, with an awesome finish and cae for details.

I hope to receive mine next week together with a KW PAM 505. I will inform about.

But info from pictures, from owners and from KW say that is one of the best watches from KW

I really like it

I love the Rads. I already have a 292 but this is also a beauty. I love the shiny case.

My favorite rad so far (having had quite a few). The finish, case, details....all stunning. I even managed to try on a gen at an AD not too long ago. While I obviously didn't have the rep to compare side by side, I swear I could tell no difference. Even the weight felt solid to me.

Another pic of the KW 388 to feast your eyes on. This was taken at sunset on the first day I got it. Love this watch. Got the KW 505 at the same time. Love them both.

Really? Is yours with the 7750 or seagull? The seagull one I have can barely be heard. The rotor makes a little noise, but that's about it.

Usually, but just usually seagull is more noisy than A7750

The problems were usually in first batches fitted with Seagull movement. Following KW indications last batches fitted with A7740 have fixed the screw issue

They really are awesome but completely different ... then.....
