I care who the maker is, because I care who the maker is. Ferrari/Lambo/Corvette - who cares what factory its from as long as its 600hp right? wrong.

Currently H factory is making MOST of the better PAM reps, hence me wanting them from that factory...you can choose the reps that please you, and currently, these please me :)


I didnt post this topic to discuss or argue a "craze" of H factory seeking, I posted it simply to ask which of the reps were the best, all other chatter isnt really on topic.

You've been here for 4 months so please let me explain what is going to happen:

In a few month, when the factory will realize how acclaimed they are, they will not focus on keeping the good work going and provide us with great watches over and over.
They will focus on trying to find the best way to screw us up, by making some shitty watches and sell them at the old prices.

So once again, focusing on the maker is a bad idea. Or at least if you do, just pretend you don't, or one day you'll end up bending over in front of a rep maker.

Your choice mate.

Yeah... I've read some about that... but really, what's the problem with their movements? Older versions? Dirty and ill-assembled? Not finished correctly?

Some other people seem to say that older reps from this factory had problems with the movements but that it's over now... So what's the reality?

I'm more than a little interested by the coming 177M, but if it's not up to specs in terms of movement, I might as well find something else!

The problem is that they are noisy as hell! I don't think they are any less reliable though...?

I'm actually not really complaining and it's not THAT bad. Its totally liveable. The only time its noticeable is when its quiet.... like if you place your watch by your bed you may just launch that watch across the room due to the loud ticking keeping you awake.

If I decide to build a 201a from a 111j base i'd probably swap the movement.

I have been HERE for a few months, I currently have 15 PAMs and have had over 25 so I get it that I appear as a trigger happy newb, however I am not...I simply want 3 of the best made pams currently on the market with all of the other noise aside :) I know the name of the game my friend, I stay on RG and just want a gurus opinion of the best 3 offered :)

Ok I totally endorse the h factory, the boss is super anal, the hublot v1 is made by him, the top pams are made by him, some of the top b and r are made by him:)

Having said that, I do hope their standards do not drop

Top B&R?

Which ones?

Tell him to make the 03-92 super-rep that Trevor had but now can't get hold of! And, while you're at it, get him to rep the 01s and 02s perfectly too ;) :D

320, 312, 328, 329, 359, 219, 026, 318, 005, 212, 213, 253, 286, 177, 288

At least 320 and 329 gens use in-house movements.
I wouldn't call the reps super-reps as they have wrong movements with a display case back.
