dennisyang 0 Posted January 9, 2014 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dennisyang 0 Posted January 23, 2014 Unfortunately, this A7750's power reserve is only about 12 hours. If only I knew of some rep-friendly watchsmiths in Houston. Anyone?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pringles 0 Posted January 27, 2014 Still not sure about this. Does gen excist or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pseudonym 0 Posted January 27, 2014 Still not sure about this. Does gen excist or not? 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
