Hey guys how exactly are the Noob Pam 088 GMT hour markers put on the dial? Is it an applied sausage?

I am curious as my hour markers on the 20 and 22 for my QC pics look slight shifted towards the left.

Sorry guys this is what I mean. My 22 sausage is on the left and @Agentoso74 your 22 sausage is on the right

Not trying to be nit picky but I've never seen a pam dial where the sausage has been so far off centered especially when the dials are sandwich dials?

If my TD is able to get me another one I'll happily take it but if he can't then I'll settle on this one anyways

Pam88 doesn't have a sandwich dial...

Yeah that's where I'm getting confused because the sausage is a slight cutout and then filled yes?

I'm not sure on the details, but the markers are raised above the dial. Zoom in on my picture and you can see the depth.

There are "sausage" dials made filling cavities with the lume materials like on PAM 000-005-390.... On these dials the lume has not real sausage appearance but an almost flat surface, but we are calling them sausage dials

And there are sausage dials made applying a true sausage (half) over the dial surface PAM 088-029.... On these dials the lume has sausage (half) appearance

The markers on 20 and 22 do look uncentered in reference to the numbers. If they bother you then you should contact your TD.

Who are you buying from? I thought the NOOB Pam088 is not in production anymore?

I just placed an order with PureTime for a Noob 088, they haven't confirmed stock yet due to Chinese New Year, but I should hear later this week...

088 Noob is long out of production, and sold out. HF is probably what they can find for you.
I email TD first to check stock, then place order. Its easier this way, and I can make decision based on what's available. Just a thought...

Hmmm, maybe it's too much to ask PureTime to not advertise a watch that's not produced anymore... I'll see what they have to say.

I don't suppose ALE (or anyone) has commented on the difference between the noob or HF versions? Any links to thread would awesome [emoji106]

It is all in "ALE's PAM Bible", the differences are pointed out between makers and different releases.
