ALE7575 24 Posted May 11, 2014 (edited) Already commented in KW Section: Thread: http://www.rwg.bz/bo...opic=77783&st=0 Post: http://www.rwg.bz/bo...dpost&p=1275176 Copy: I really think it has been worth waiting for this release I know it is very early and we have not yet got the final product, but at this moment I have seen some improvements over ZFac version and, however, I have not seen any worsening I cannot judge about dial-bezel alignment, because there are no frontal pics to see it. As far as I can see: - Kunrling of bezel seems not as polished as gen but way better in finish and shape accuracy - If we trust KW info, working of rotating bezel is more gen-like and without gaps. But we cannot prove that, just trust KW info - Lume colour is very uniform in hands, dot markers, stick markers and printed markers on subdial @9... - We can see very uniform colour and quality of material between case, bezel, bezel markers and CG - Starting patina is smooth and uniform, Not in an aggressive way or with ugly stains, very gen-like - Black minute markers on bezel are better placed in relation to pearl and other markers and overall more accurate - CG chanfered corners are more accurate - Nice engravings REG T.M. in CG - Seemingly nice strap with better quality - Cheaper price with seemingly better quality Movement it is nicely decorated and with "real" jewels as other KW versions (and ZFac last versions). Balance wheel position of A7750 is @11 whereas the gen P.9000 is @7. The inner side of the lugs when inserting in the back of the case is not like gen, the same as ZFac version. Rep insertion has not "step" whereas gen insertion presents a little "step". This was already explained by Polonus in other KW thread of announcement but remains without correction in KW version. It is a flaw really no noticeable in practice, but that will be useful to tell the reps in the future from the back view. The overall finish and care for details seems KW typical and we can assure this is a very beautiful watch and a nice and accurate replica. I will try to make a review in some time Congrats Mehmet and his team ALE Edited May 11, 2014 by ALE7575 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
marper 0 Posted May 12, 2014 To me if the strap is better and the bezel is fixed it will be a no brained to go with KW as long as there are no drastic worsening. And KW is a bit cheaper so I'm pre - ordering the KW. I hope I'm not disappointed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And KW is a bit cheaper so I'm pre - ordering the KW. I hope I'm not disappointed. Then it's not a no-brainer, for now. The corrected bezel isn't out yet, and you put too much riding on a strap that you should really think about replacing with a nice one for a watch this good (KW or ZF).

PepitoGrillo 0 Posted May 13, 2014 A 500$ watch deserves something better than a 15$ rep strap. There is not enough info IMHO yet to be able to make a 100% reasonable choice, but if I had to choose I would go for KW. I would wait anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daywatch 4 Posted May 31, 2014 Depends if You can wait and the attitude towards money. Maybe someday I will buy the KW.. or not. Visiting Jacksontse just to look at his prices before going for one is always healthy imo. But than the Blancpain FF and the Tudor Blackbay blue are higher in my priority list as I already have the PAM193 Submersible. (If not would have gone for this one already).
