Question for you guys, is the superluminova color correct on these H-factory pams? Is it too green or does it match a gen 111M?

Here's a quick shot of mine:

111 and 177 have the same dial, H rep or gen.
When I compare my gen 177M with my H-factory 177M, lume is spot on, in color, brightness and lasting.

Yup - as my friend Boudart says, a friend has a gen 111 and the lume looks the same as that on my h-factory 177.

Awesome, glad to know. I google searched something like "pam lume shots" and noticed most had a more blueish hue.

it's the photo above, it has the white balance color setting too warm, hence the green instead of bluish green color..

I took like 3-4 quick pics for this thread. The white balance may be off, but that one looks just like the watch does in person.

Is this version from MR correct? The lume on hands and indices look slightly different (might be the pic). Is this H factory? ...Definitely looking to pick up one of these.

It's definitely H-Factory. Dial has old white (incorrect but sharp printing) writing. Check out the CG Lever, no gap and lies flush. The number of teeth on the gears in the back is also less indicating a low beat 18k movement. Buy with confidence.

With regards to the gen of this model, is the lume on the hands supposed to match the lume/printing on the dial?

What is the correct printing?

Thank you for your help.

Side question on the H Factory models, is it true that the movements are iffy? What are the problems with them?

They're not alllll crap, plenty of people have got movements that haven't died ;) but they would definitely benefit from a service.

And if you're doing that, I would say it's probably worth spending the little extra for the high-beat replacement movement so you're closer to gen :)

Ok, all this being said, it may have been better to ask, "What is the best 111 out there, and where can I get it?"

Thanks!
