I confirm what was said by the user called blim, the NOOB screw bars are badly threaded, too short and the workmanship is shoddy. The ends of the screw bar are not flat, not polished and not flush with the case. One of screw bars stood out because it was badly bolted. Once screwed, it was not flush with the case.

How do you like the rest of the watch?

Other than the few minor flaws noted in a few different 111 threads, your pics look great from accuracy pov). Hope you enjoy it.

Also you can purchase the rubber from you TD. They can source it for you. Or there are lots of places on the internet that sell non Panerai branded rubber straps (and branded ones too) for around 25 to 50 dollars. Just make sure to get 24mm x 22mm. I have only had the rubber from TDs and the quality is alright.

I like the PAM1392 but can't seem to find any rep for that model.

Thank you very much for the Serapio suggestion.
Looking more closely at the NOOB pam111 V12 I have noticed that the two screws of the Crown are bitten. This shows a bad work in the small details

It's no longer in production.

I've been wanting to get a 1392 as well.

Right now, I'm hoping VS does an update with the 1392 as well since they've done a re-release of the 1312.

Hope they do a 1392 or a 2392 re-release

I really want the 1392/2392 model as well, i just think 42mm pam is more comfortable, but do you know what's the difference between 1392 and 2392? i cant seem to find any difference

2392 has a green light like 312, and a solid backcase. In general, the difference is like between the old 1312, which produced XF and the new 1312 from vsf. So now, I would rather expect 2392.

I have the 005 from Noob. The V12.
I think it looks and feels great, maybe a little green ish lume but other than that and the shitty strap it’s solid. No shoddy threads to the screws, no loose crown etc

here are some pics

Not sure to be honest, how do I find out and what does it mean?

The letter representing the year of issue. (For gen)
After it, there is a figure indicating the serial number of specific watches of the annual series, and after the fraction, the general limit is how many pieces of this model are made in a year.

All dealers call it differently, some V11 and V12, some V12 and V12S, but I saw the real difference in the re-release 005, only between the N and P series.

Again, Trusty seems to have both new noob 005s coming with the N series, but the dials are different, maybe mix up the photos, maybe the real watch details. Therefore, I decided to clarify the series of your watches.

Got it, thanks! Just checked and mine is the N series
