[ApO]

Hi guys,

thanks

111n noobfactory.

Single side AR, 1:1 construction, lots of other upgrades over the 111m. Not really any debate about it.

 

[ApO]

Better than Pam 111 H (version) ?

What about the issue with the swain neck on (Noob Series) ?

 

[COLDI]

noob for sure...it has better dial font and gen like case construction

 

[ApO]

What about movement ? asian (200 $) vs ETA ( 400$) ?

 

[Bonesey]

That's up to you. But I wouldnt shell out for a swiss movement when the asian high beat is just as good.

Dont get the swiss eta.
Who know what parts they put it together with.
The Original Swiss ETA 6497 Unitas movement doesn't come with the modified platinum Panerai Bridge. So they have to change it out.... do you really want to pay an extra $200 to trust an unregulated chinese factory worker to swap that out for you?
I dont

I have seen the Swiss ETA versions on Puretime site, and I don't like them.
The movement seems no original ETA, with the big wheels with a big beveled not like the gen. If you see some enlarged pics of the Swan Neck, in Puretime catalogue, you can see a very dirty spring, a short screw and sometiemes the spring passes over the regulator lever. This is not appropiete for a gen movement !!
Go to the Asian

thx for the advise

But tell me, i saw also one puretime that the screw was too short , what dou you think ?

 

[Bonesey]

think that really... it's a rep mate. You want perfection like that you need to buy the gen to be happy.

 

[ApO]

Well, the H version come with it...

 

[Bonesey]

Then get the H version.

I don't mean to be rude, but if it runs well and looks good from the front why would you care what the back looks like. No one will see it on your wrist. Just my thought. Not meant to offend.

I ordered the Asian movement. From all the info I've read, the high beat is a reliable one.

 

[ApO]

good to know... thx

Yes, I have written the same!! you have a short screw. This is typical in Noob Swan Neck. No problems for the watch and for the movement running. Read my threads about these Swan Neck matters.

The Noob is much better rep than H model. Therefore don't worry about Swan Neck and buy the Noob with asian clone movmt.

I totally concur.

It is like picking a wife, there is no one that will fit the bill 100%. Consider yourself lucky if she is 80% to 90% of your criteria of a great wife.

From all the threads and reviews, it seems at this point, the Pam 111N noob is the best thus far.

No rep will ever be perfect IMO. That is why they are a replicas and not the real deal. Imagine, the factory has to get the fine details of a 5k plus watch to retail at about 250 to 300 USD. It is still amazing what these factories can churn out. Damn amazing.
