PAM 386 Arrived - pics

Recommended Posts

dennisyang

My PAM386 arrived today; it's the KW V4 (SS).

 

Order of events:

  • Payment sent via WU Dec 21st
  • Watch shipped Jan 3rd from China (no QC pics, but it was a miscommunication between Alen and Mehmet)
  • Watch arrived in Houston Jan 9th (padded envelope with plenty of bubble wrap)

Observations about the watch:

  • The v4/v5 have done a great job getting rid of the purple hue from earlier versions/other TDs (slight purple on the crown guard lever hinge)
  • Movement jewels are "real jewels" and not painted
  • The darkened caseback crystal is a nice touch - (only KW has this?)
  • Crown guard lever sits flush when latched, has a nice 'snapback' latching feel to it; very well constructed
  • Beautiful Asso strap

All in all a well constructed watch with good attention to detail. I wanted the V5 originally, but they were out. Alen said he had a v4 in stock, so being the inpatient person I am, I decided to pull the trigger. Kuvarsit has been a pleasure to work with and will definitely order from them again.

 

 

I apologize for the glare - took these pictures at work. Enjoy :)

Unfortunately, this A7750's power reserve is only about 12 hours. If only I knew of some rep-friendly watchsmiths in Houston. Anyone??

It only exists in prototype form... Panerai found that the composite for this particular case type was too brittle- anyone with more knowledge please feel free to correct me.

 

There may be a few pre-production samples out there, but it was never generally released to date.

Completely agree... One of the best modern PAMs out there - fantasy or not. One will be in my collection at one point.
