Now a little comparison, I always wanted the J version of the 292 (the pig dial).
At that time when H factory made it's 292, I decided to buy it even if the pig version was not available. That watch was really nice and reliable but when I saw the Noob 292J I decided that despite the price I should get one.

So after some weeks of wait (probably 1,5 month between the order and the delivery), I received my 292J.

I still have the H version so I decided to make some pics with both watches.

My overall impression is that the noob version looks in general nicer. The text color on the dial looks more gen with a nice cream white.
The case gives a nice ceramic feeling, but I'm not sure there is that much difference. I should try to check more in detail this !! The case engravment is nicer in the noob version (serial number on the case) and the case back is clearly day/night between the Noob and the H (Noob is better).

And finally, the ceramic crown is a nice part of the Noob version, feels like a gen part. The only potential issue is that it can break easily but we will see.

Let's the pics speak now...
