i've been wondering, would it cost a lot for us to produce the swan neck ourself? maybe find a part manufacturer and produce a nice one in small quantities, lets say 1000? im sure it will sell off eventually considering how hot of a model the 111 is. Somehow i think the repmakers make certain parts to look different from the gen to prevent law suits (?) lol but again, they are doing illegal stuff anyway.

I saw that with the bevel on the ratchet and crown wheels. I posted another shot below, it does indeed look like an improvement there as well. I'll tell you what, if they could fit the SN and MM Screw from the updated 127 that is being talked about right now, we'd be in good territory with the 111.

Notice this is the O-series...

Hopefully this aint the final one though. Serial is wrong? A nice picture of an o-series below. Somehow gen closeups tell us how far the reps are from gens but well, 1/10 of the price :)

Little teaser... this is a movement shot a friend forwarded to me of the (rumored?) upcoming Noob 111, Chinese V6, that was released a few days ago. Notice the ETA stamp and the better, but still rep, Inca... maybe post CNY 2015?

Obviusly it's an asian modded, not a swiss inca. But it's a good improvement. I hope to see a longer micrometric screw, like older low-beat from HF. Not hard to find for a factory
ETA stamps are a flaw, because the Pammies have an alphanumerical number, not the standard branded stamp.

Hi all. I was hoping to get some opinions on the swan neck of my QC pics. Is it ok to accept. I know that it's more cosmetic but shape looks a little off. I know that it's common for ms screw to be short

What's everybody getting for power reserve? I just got mine a week ago (Kuvarsit A+++) and its only lasting around 26 hours with 40 winds. Any input is greatly appreciated. Except for the short p.r. I absolutely love it.

Guys if you dont mind, any issues with the engraving of the officine panerai? The letter c seems discolored. Also, the crown wheel screw seems damaged but i guess it cant be helped. The swan neck seems like it has no space for further modification but in fact, i think it looks quite good!

Hello everyone, I was hoping for some comments for the Noob V3 QC pics from Toro. They all look good to me except for some slanting of the crown dial appearing to be possibly slanted? Or this just the angle of the picture? What do you guys think overall?

Kampachi, the engraving looks good to me. I've seen that on some other images before, and I believe it's just dirt. Should clean up, but maybe someone else can comment with more knowledge. markp360, your image doesn't show up for me.

I just received my QC pictures as well for the Noob V3. The pictures aren't as high res as I would like, but I have a couple of questions regarding the crown guard fit to the case, and the engravings on the caseback. The 9 in the serial number looks odd, but that just may be the font, plus there is a smudge by the last zero in "2500" Also the swan neck doesn't touch on either side.

The crown guard looks like it has a decent size gap between it and the case.

I'm not sure if that is normal or within variances. Again these are probably just nit piks, but I would like some feedback from more experienced members. I appreciate it, thanks!

Is there a black version of the 111? The 026 is inverted which I don't really like, so far I've only found a DLC 111 from H-fac. Would that be my best bet?
