Well, since you apparently lack the patience and willingness to learn to fish (research), and prefer to be given fish, the Noob and the KW PAM364s are both very good representations of the gen. The KW came later than the Noob which was already a Super Rep low level, with no visible improvements over the Noob, except maybe a better cannon pinion. So being newer and having at least maintained the quality, the KW would be the better choice, with the Noob coming a close second.

More than willing to learn but patience could be better. Guess I'll learn as I go along with great advice from yourself and other uses. Thanks for advice I'll take it onboard

I had the Noob version, and it was superb, it really is just the canon pin that's better in the KW, but you can't see that without a loupe really.
For me, it comes down to price, if the Noob is significantly cheaper, buy it, otherwise the KW.
Only thing to think about is the movement, it's an A7750 which has been known to be unreliable when running chrono's (obviously the 364 doesn't have them), and a lot of watchsmiths wont service them.

The same could be said for the Seagull ST2555, watchsmiths would much rather replace them outright with a new movement than attempt to service them, which is a pain. But speaking from personal experience, the A7750 and the ST-2555 are about the same in terms of reliability and performance. Normally the ST-2555 powered PAMs (you can distinguish them when TDs call them Lite versions or using A23J movements, I don't know why they do this) are cheaper than their A7750 counterparts. As for the Noob pricing, they are/were included in the latest Noob PAM sale, so if you want to save a few dollars, it's a great deal (I actually got s V6 from Ken recently right before the Noob sale was announced, just my luck. Hahaha).

Go to KW if you want, but Noob caseback is almost perfect
