With Noob production seemingly out of action and without a definitive end in sight, I'm starting to consider alternatives to the 111 to scratch my Panerai itch.

I paid for a Noob v4 111 a while back, just before the Noob closure and have been waiting since. I definitely cant pull off a 47mm, so ideally 44m ish.

What are the best alternatives from other factories that people would recommend? I could just wait this out, but interested to hear what people suggest as the next best alternatives.

Thanks in advance.

I would suggest asking your favorite TDs what models are readily available from the factories and then checking the forum for reviews/opinions. Doing the other way around would entail you going back and forth to and from the forum more.

Good advice. I'll speak to the TD and revert back here. Thanks.

I’m a noob and went for the 111 from Jtime as it was on offer. My instincts told me it was difficult to source as I had no qc pics, further research,Li from Jtime kinda confirming my thoughts,we decided it may be best going for an alternative and I chose the 312. Still holding out hope for the 111 but coming across this post doesn’t fill me with hope , in fact got me confirming I’ll get the 312

Both the noob 111 and vsf 312 are fantastic reps, two of the best pams, and differnet from case, dial, date, movement, etc.. They deserve a space side by side in a collection over one or the other.

I have a 312 and love it. Nice and simple like the 111 but has a 1950s case with a brushed finish.

Waiting for my backordered Noob Pamm 111 V4 as well.

Toro added a PAM111 O-series from KW. It looks good to me but not much information I found about it on RWI.

Just FYI, while the price is tempting, I don't know if I'd go for these watches. I Bouth a few and had issues with both. I bought an X factory Omega and the bezel and dial are be off a bit. I also bought the 571 and the rotor is really loud. So I'm guessing these "special offers" are all here for a reason.
FYI noob is back up and running
Here it is the 31st and this is the first I'm hearing of this. I don't even know how that's possible. I expected it to be all over the board.
