292 vs 390 vs. modded Noob 111? Which is more accurate?

I have a modded Noob V3 111N with y-incabloc, rebrushed gears (golden colored), reshaped swan neck (not quite gen though), ETA stamp, etc.

I am honestly quite bored with it and was wondering if any of the newer PAMs are more accurate.
For instance, the 292 (pig) and the Noob 390.

Are any of these more accurate than the V3 111N?

390 is not accurate due to the color of the gold hand.

the color of the gold hand is far from gen.

i have 111 and i never regret of buying it, i will never sell it. its look perfect from the front side. the back side is very minor

Hi nl

You really are answering little by little your questions, this is normal because it is a taste matter.

As you say you can live with an inaccurate movement and display caseback and you cannot live with a different colour of gold hands, almost impossible to detect with the watch in movement.

PAM 390 ans PAM 111 have the same flaws regarding mid-case and CG but PAM 390 has already improved crystal and Crown.
PAM 390 has the issue of colour hands and sausage lume application is not exactly as gen, as usually in sausage.
But PAM 111 has wrong crown, wrong crystal beveled and a great list of flaws in movement even with mods.

Talking about accuracy maybe the best is PAM 292, which has only the flaw of a less marked and a bit inaccurate pig (few noticeable)

I didn't know it would be so hard to detect in real life.
292 getting your endorsement is convincing enough for me.

This is why I will never sell my 292J

Plus (correct me if I'm wrong) it's the only ceramic pam in the rep market...

Yes it is the only PAM ceramic
For this reason I'm recommending it as very accurate
Unfortunately I don't know if it is available.

If I remind, your 111 is a very well modded watch, an ultimate version. Do you can post some pics?

wow bozz you have a good memory.

i don't have any pics on me at the moment. i can post some later :D

I haven't held the gen side-by-side so I can't comment on the accuracy with gen in hand.
The swan-neck flaw is not that easy to see with naked eyes though.
Probably same thing for the crown being inaccurate.

Noob Swan Neck and Noob "fat" crown are easily visible under naked eye (Noob Swan neck with trained eye of course)

Any signs of an updated 292 with correct 'PANERAI' placement will be coming anytime soon? O series perhaps?

I doubt the factories will exert any effort soon on such improvements. That tell has been with us like forever and yet somehow they never fix it. :(
