Mini review + some photos of PAM 164N H-factory

As a follow-up to this thread: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/interested-in-buying-112145?t=112145


Got my 164N from H-factory yesterday, re-assembled, cleaned, regulated and water-proofed and could not be happier. The crystal and dial on this watch are the best I've seen on reps - so clean and crispy, especially in the sun! Case looks and feels awesome, brushing is top quality and very subtle and CG is tight and closes with a nice confident click.

Inside, nothing ground-breaking - and I didn't take any photos during the assembly. Asian 7750 with printed OP rotor that wont fool a blind kid but at least clean and nicely regulated to +5 secs. Movement ring appears to be made of titanium as it is very light. Screws and movement tabs are of reasonable quality but not as good as Noob stuff on my 029M. Caseback is heavy with good deep engravings and Swiss-made on the inner side.

The best thing so far is QR buttons are appearing to be very well made - butter-like release function, very secure once pushed in and show to sign of any stress after I did a change over 5-7 times just to test them. Well done on this one, H-factory.

The photos are with gen croc; also it seems on photos that the cyclop is off-centered againts DW but this is just an angle, it is dead-on centered in real life:)

Anyways, here you go:

no worries mate, i now think this watch is probably on par if not better than my 029 from Noob but because it is a cheaper gen with no much fan following, I actually prefer this to 029 as a more credible option. it is a superb rep for the money, seeing how some of these basic PAMs are hitting 350$+ mark to me it is a much better value for money and a bit unusual due to its dial and brushed/polished contrast case....

Stunning watch:wub:, the clarity of the H Factory's crystal is awesome, now if they could just get sharp inners of the Cg the same as the noob factory they would be on a massive winner:whistle:

Thanks for sharing, and posting fantastic pics:cheers:

I agree with sharrkey. This rep is very very good, crystal and dial markers colour and sausage lume awesome. White Halo in cyclops seems better than Noob.
The only problem the CG in general not only the edges. The Noob CG is better.

Furthermore:
Even the CG seems to be distorted (maybe to better fit the case)
