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

[Bozz]

You can take a Noob 292N and try to find an H-fac 183 dial

wow bozz you have a good memory.

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

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.

Do you changed the crown? I remember a search for a H-fac "slim" crown

Yeah I had marlin change the crown but it doesn't look good.
Honestly I don't have the patience for modding replicas anymore.
Takes too long and breaks too easily.

Buy a Noob and an H 390 from your TD.. Takes 15 minutes to throw the H maker dial, hands & movment in a noob 390 and you have a much prettier watch and way more accurate than even a movment modded 111 IMO. Sell the new H 390 with Noob guts for $100 in 60 seconds m2m and you have a nice watch. Keep the 111 tho.

Better than the 111 huh?
Hmm.
I don't have the skills or tools to do what u just described though.

I don't understand why some people are thinking that H maker 390 dial is better than Noob 390.
We know they are hit and miss, but usually Noob has flatter lume application and more accurate than H maker, and H maker inscriptions on dial are dead in comparison with Noob
Only the hands seem better in H maker because Noob hands are a bit rose gold. Few noticeable with the watch in the hand and in movement

ALE

Where in the heck can I find a 292??? I've talked to Toro, BK, and Puretime. Any word if anyone has these in stock still?

Last Hmaker 390 I got has much flatter lume, and even a noob can use a ball to open the CB and remove two small movment screws and swap the guts without messing with the hands as the H maker hands are way better. At least tht was my last batch of two 390's an H and a Noob ALE within the last 30 days. As I metioned to you in a PM ALE I also I believe that the 390 noob CG is much better from every current pic I see, the two recent ones I have ordered and much more like the kuvasit in relation to the Noob V3 CG. Of course the 390 also comes with the better slim crown. So overall the 390 wins in the first Pam for a noobie contest and can be modded by anyone that can put together an IKEA bookshelf with a simple search with how to remove a caseback and two movement screws.

I suggest posting a want to buy thread. This is like the third post of yours I've come across looking for one. If the TDs say it's not available, then the second hand market may be the only way to go. Good luck with your search.
