H Factory or Noob

[stoney111]

Sorry if this is on the wrong section..

Trying to identify if this is a noob or h factory PAM390? I purchased it on here many years ago but the post must have been deleted along the way during the migrations etc…

any help much appreciated, I’m clearing out the watches and want to ensure I list them correctly

HF I am almost certain, and arguably the best version. That super flat crown guard pin is most likely HF (The pin on my Noob is not flush). Check Ale's guide for details:

I think Noob.

The CG pin does look very flat like the HF but the case back, dial and hands look like Noob to me.

Remember that a lot of 390's were picked apart back in the day to create the best version, so unless the OP purchased new this could be a mash up.

@Woundup Here is my Noob390 for comparison... I think there are lots of differences. Or perhaps my watch is not Noob?

To me the first one is a noob midcase, noob hands whit h factory caseback, crown guard, and dial.

Looks like the hands in the first watch are different than mine. If mine is Noob (I bought it M2M advertised as such) then the hands on the OP watch must be something else. The hour hands are different, the lume extends farther to the tip in the first watch.

Also I think the lug holes are placed differently on the watches? The left hole is

I agree the caseback, CG and dial all look different however.

The bezel also looks thicker on the OP, and there seems to be a tool gap on the bezel at 11 o'clock?
