Any Noob PAMs available other than 111?

Hello all,

Being a total PAM noob, I've been looking to purchase my second 44mm PAM. My first purchase was a PAM111 Noob from BK which should be on its way. However I'm looking to score an alternative super rep PAM in a 44mm case.

I actually wanted to get a titanium model therefore my initial preference was either a PAM177 or 176 however later on I've found out that Noob wasn't producing these anymore. Then I checked out 000 and got the same response as usual. Then I started to lurk into the forum more and pulled the trigger on 111 as apparently that's the only super rep PAM still in production by Noob.

PAM177 is still available by H-Maker but I don't want to go for it yet as according to ALE's guide, H-Maker is always a step behind Noob. However they seem to be still producing some of those super reps consistently.

Is there an alternative 44mm super rep available out there other than 111? Or 111 is the only option for now? Also should I be reluctant to purchase one from H-Maker? What is the difference really?

Thanks!

Maybe I shouldn't oversimplify this question but, I think my concern comes down to one simple question:

What is the most accurate 44mm rep out there other than 111?

I see KW and ZF are also in the game but with other brands their quality has never been the same leverl as Noob... How does this apply to Pams?

Just wanted to thank you for bringing this up, as I'm in pretty much the same place as you.

Will go for a 111 as soon as CNY is over, but really would like to know what's up with the other Luminor reps from Noob, as I would like a titanium piece as some point.

Hope somebody with more knowledge and insight can shed a light.

Cheers!

Only checked out InTime but these are all 44mm and noob factory. Hope it helps a little.

297, 113, 356, 360, 366


I haven't compared them with gen yet but noob Pams are gooood....Probably this weekend. Like you, after CNY, it's go time!

I don't think PAM 297 is available anymore? I see 113 has never been a super rep. What about 3s?

I would ask the TD to make sure. Websites aren't always updated and they don't stock a lot of watches in their office especially ones that aren't newly released.

So guys, ultimately, which are the the most accurate 44mm (in super rep category) out there besides Noob 111?

Regardless of makers?

To be fair to @mysterio, your question is quite vague and reads as if you haven't read the guide.

If you've read the guide you know which reps are super status and also interest you.

Why don't you post a list of those and ask if anyone knows which are available and by which factory.

Here's a teaser. The 005 is available by HF in v2 and it's a super rep.

So...

...

I already mentioned PAM000, 005, 176 and 176 in my original post as you can see. As far as I know those are said to be super reps by H-Fac along with Noob.

Then I asked if it's not worthy of going for those models by H-Fac as they're said to be always a little inferior to Noob in terms of gen-like details, according to Ale's guide. Apparently no one read the original post to say "Hey H-fac is great in terms of quality and detail so doesn't matter whether it was made by Noob or H-fac".

But again, I'm done with this thread.

Thanks,

Are you having a tamptrum because we aren't spoon feeding you with the airplane? There are plenty of threads to read that will tell you exactly the different between noob and H factory .

Is it worth buying one? I dunno about you but it's worth it to me
