Iv been offered a 297 to buy, but the seller is unsure of the factory, seems to think it’s SF, iv done some research and from what I can gather only Noob and H factory did reps of these, can anybody confirm by the picture who it is?..iv bought from the seller before and he is is a genuine bloke so not concerned there...havnt got a pic of the back yet...

Looks nice enough if you got a good price on it go for it

Yep it’s a very very good price, I’m sort of hoping it’s a Noob or HF so then it will be a absolute bargain...

The photos are bad to try to say, noob or H. Give a photo bakcase in good quality, the bracelet is getting used to the case and the dial is at right angles and good lighting so that you can answer.

In fact, today, it is not so important H these or NOOB, both are good on this day, in the last episodes.

I'm more worried about the date font. Give other photos of other dates at right angles, but in this photo date doesn't look like O or K series of manufacturers H and N. Perhaps, of course, this is just the specifics of the angle, but you should pay attention to the font and that the tone looks too thin, like the standard DW seagull and the old 7750.,



Left to right, top to bottom:
Your - standard old 7750 - noob 7750 - standard seagull st2555.

Here is my NOOB 297 O-series for reference (nevermind the aftermarket bracelet, it's not a good fit on it).

No, yellow has nothing to do with it. This is just lighting or color correction of the shot, I'm only talking about fonts and weight.

In general, there are photos of examples, there is a comparison, the rest is yours.

I will leave only photo "3" on 089 HF which I took right now, with or without additional lighting.

It's a cheap rep and for sure not neither a noob nor HF. You can find these on dhgate/aliex., not worth buying in my humble opinion.
If you check the caseback you will see that there is no serial number on the one you have been offered. It's just another flaw..

Well, if briefly and clearly, then this is ^^ :)
