Help, what factory is this 005?

Hi

I bought this off a m2m sale and can't find the thread to find out what factory it is? As I'm looking to sell it ideally would like to know who it was made by before selling.

Noob... I could be wrong though

That's what I was thinking? As for the movement all I know that it's wind up, can't really open the case back as I haven't got the tools.

If you don't have any, just make one with duct tape. It works!

Cheers will have a go at that tomorrow, thanks.

Nope, that's actually an H-Factory watch; an M series which was made after the legendary HF005K and was supposed to be an improvement but turned out to be worse in every aspect.

You will note the straight reflections of light on the bezel. This would indicate a HF. The noob is slightly more curved in its finish, rather than fully flat. Which gives a slight "S" curve to the reflections.

The Noob bezel is closer to gen, however, many find the more flat bezel surface of the "H" to be more attractive.

Older H factory for sure. Overly polished crown, wonky lever tip, M series caseback.

Dial is H maker
Bezel looks H maker
Caseback H maker without doubts

Caseset: we would need pics from 3 and 6 to tell it

Thinner PAM logo on the caseback. Characteristic of H factory.
