H-factory 005N V2?

[Klockis]

Today I got a few H-factory 005N that I was going to use some parts from.
And the dials look different from my other H-factory 005N that I got about 7-8 (?) months ago.
I don’t know if I'm just slow and this have been discussed before but I don’t remember reading anything about it.

We know that H-factory changed the movement to the correct OPll look-alike some time ago but also the lume have been changed.
It’s wider than before (005N V1?) and it looks to be a bit flatter. But this can be an optical illusion since the lume is applied wider.
In my opinion this (V2?) is closer to gen. H-factory have always made the best 000/005 dials but the lume have been a bit too narrow and too raised.
I think it’s even better now.
Also the second’s hands pin is larger in diameter then before and I think its larger then gen.

Anyone cares to chime in with their opinions before I change dials on all 3 of my 005?

Some pics too illustrate:

Hi Klockis

You will not get (valid?) replies about that

Because you are maybe the most experienced and authorized member to answer your own question. Believe me.

Thanks for the info, I need to include it in the PAM GUIDE

I also want to know the answer to this as I want to get a hybrid 005 for accuracy.

Any new observation on the Hv2 vs Nv2?
And now we even got the KW005. :lol:

Can you take a shot from the side to see if the lume is thick?

I'm just got my PAM005 noobV2, how do i know that i got noobV2 and not H factory V2.

thanks in advance

klase, you will spot the difference in a crownguard's inner corners.

However I'm very curious how the comparison to Noob's and KW 005 would look like.

Agree with that!!

So I guess in your opinion H factory 005N V2 dial is better than Noob 005N dials?

I am going to ask Klockis about this matter

Yes, I still think that H-fac makes the best sausage dials, even with their flaws and sloppy lume..
Even if they used to have more raised lume then Noob they were still better.

But as far as I understand H-fac have changed the lume application on their sausage dials and they are now more flat and wider (at least on my 005's) and more close to gen.
I have seen reports of H-fac 390 dials that have more flat lume then they used to have when H-fac first released their 390.

But you have to remember that these are illegal reps made in a abandon warehouse so there will be variations from watch to watch.
Even if mine have wider and more flat lume don’t mean all H-fac 005 will have it. It all depends on the dial maker that made your dial.

I still think the best 005 is a Noob V3 case-set with H-fac dial, crystal, crown and CB. All IMHO of course

Thanks s3g0y, this my PAM005 noobV2.

For the noob v2 dial, it seems like the wordings for LUMINOR is not parallel. Is it the glass that is making it look this way, or its just me?
