It’s very nice, simple and pretty

I like it very much, maybe next order when we can review it with videos or pics ....

It looks quite good, not much choice for this now anyway. These will probably sell out quickly.

This one has really reignited my long lost passion for PAMs. I also love the fact that you can still get a decent rep for 248$ in 2020 :) I'm already thinking about what strap to get and I haven't even ordered it :D

Are these made as well as good PAM reps used to be a couple of years ago?

I really hope they make my all time favorite again - the 372!

Yes, and welcome back.
I also would like to see Pam372 being re-released. Actually a few weeks ago I had a chance to buy one for 300 but I didn’t go for because I already had noob 127.

I'm so happy that I'm feeling that buzz again, it makes me wanna buy all my long sold PAMs back :) Except for the 127. It must be something wrong with me, but it did nothing for me. I bought it 3 times over the years to make sure :D Now I need to check if my old favorite strap makers are still in the game.

The quality of XF seems to be better than NOOB these days.

I compared my NOOB PAM111 and the XF PAM000, XFPAM005 and found that
1. crown on the NOOB was more wobbly compared to XF
2. screw bars on XF were nicely polished at the opposite end and extend all the way to the end of the thread on the case (almost flush), NOOB's screw bars are way too short and the ends are badly done (seems there was more attention to detail)

I'm not sure if NOOB and XF use A6497 from different factories. The NOOB winds smoother and "looser" while the XF feels tighter and more snug when winding.

The NOOB crown guard has tighter snappy feeling while the XF isn't as tight but operates smoother when opening and closing.
