Yes, I've seen that. Fortunately it will be fixed. Still, a bit of dissappointing. I was expecting a better p3000 movement replication.

Anyone else have this feeling? Whether AP or PAM or Rollie, Noob releases are no longer a big sensation any more.

:bored::bored::bored:

Less and less reason to wait for Noob.

H maker decoration was better than PT decoration

Unfortunately this new version has the same bad fitting of decoration bridges than PT versions but has already chromed screws like last batches from PT decorations.
Curiuosly has only two jewels in CAL. P.3000 engraved bridge, because PT version had three.
Anyay. movemnts seems PT version

Inscription LP on dial seems accurate and with well colour

In your opinion, do these improvements/changes affect the 372 grade at all?

In other words, how significant are these changes in your opinion and does this NOOB version become the current best rep (of this model) on the market?

Thanks for your opinion ALE.:cheers:

I personally prefer the existing PT 372, something about the colors that make it flow a lot better. The Noob LP seems to yellowish.

Would be great to get ALEs take on this. I'm sure noob will price above the other 372 offerings, and would be useful to know whether we'd just be paying for the noob name, or you think that the new 372 is better than existing reps.

Thanks

The pics are on repgeek. Same movement. Thought they would have fixed the plates. I'm happy with my h factory for now.

Hi friends
Please let me some days or at least some hours to make some comparisons

At this moment I can see:
-As I expected there are no modifications on movement. It seems a decoration based in PT previous decoration bridges with the screws already chromed. The only change is that CAL. P.3000 bridge has two jewels instead of three like PT version

- Better engraving LP on dial. Fonts are almost perfect, thick like gen, I cannot see the depth but seems better than previous versions. Just the transition edges of the fonts are not so crisp as gen ones (see below pics angles marked with orange arrow for example). LP inscription is better in general than previous versions.

PAM372-LPinscriptionscompcopiar_zpsbeff9407.jpg


- Lume colour of markers and inscription OK

- Better crystal shape

- Movement the same accuracy of PT previous version, worse fitting of decoration bridges than H maker.

- Case and caseback seem good

- Better hands (with a bit rounded edges) but better width and lume width

- It seems that engravings between lugs are very depth, even more than gen, but more accurate than previous versions

- Strap seems improved


Provisional conclusion:
Overall better version mainly regarding LP inscription accuracy and colour (it is really important on this watch), better engravings between lugs and crystal shape.
Movement is in practice the same as Puretime version and with a bit worse fitting between decoration bridges than H maker.

Provisional classification from better to worse:
- Noob
- Puretime (with corrected chromed CP and movement screws)
- H maker

H maker has just a bit better fitting movement decoration bridges, nothing more

Waiting for more info

Regarding increasing of price:
Only justified by LP engraving improvements and crystal shape

Price expected by Angus about 278$ (no definitive price) would be good enough

With such a price and bearing in mind a better strap, Noob will be the clear best option.

Many thanks ALE!!
Was waiting for Noob version on this one. You've helped a lot (as always). Maybe not your final results, but you made it clear for me...
Thanks again!
