[pkw2704]

so after not buying a pam for a long time i ended up purchasing a 914 and love it to bits.But as is usually the case ,i now fancy a 111 again.Its been a lot of years since i had a Noob V3 ,so took the plunge and hopefully purchasing from trusted time Andy the V12 noob on his site,hope its a good rep

 

[pkw2704]

I hope this one is an ok version? the lume on the video appears white ,which is what i want although the case back is a P series​

I ordered a Noob V12 last week. Although I'm no expert it looks "right" to me after comparing pictures to the real deal except the movement.

Great, hope to see picturs and opinion when you have it. Congrats

QC pics came through and everything looks fine but the lume colour,the dial is greener than the hands,which are white.This is a big turn off for me ,the dealer pics show matching white lume.should i reject it.I thought i had read that HWF are like this(green/white),not noob whic hare all matched white.please advise

 

[pkw2704]

dont think iam allowed to put the picture on here ,am I ?

 

[locvs]

Generall rule is:
No generell QC. Posting the pics and asking "should i GL or RL"

If you have a specific question like "is the marker at 4 tilted" it's fine.

 

[pkw2704]

does the lume on the dial look too green compared to the hands, which to me look white? or is it just the light causing this effect

 

[Toscano]

I'm certainly not an expert, and therefore I can't tell you if it's a serious flaw to refuse the watch, but the lume of the hands and the dial are certainly different!!!

[Toscano]

Eventually you could buy it and then send it to some customizer to redo the lume equal to the original one.

dont really want to send it for modding,I am in the uk so its a bit harder to do that.he says he is looking for another for me or if not il ask for a 715

 

[pkw2704]

I mean a 915 not 715

That’s a HWF 111. It’s not the lume you should be worried but the cutout. It’s too thick.

I am concerned about the recent Noob PAM offers. I feel they are not worthy of the Noob productions of the past prior to them going off the grid, or that they are plain unavailable.

last time I ordered a Noob 911 and the TD shipped me a HWF instead. The TD was not at fault, it was the factory. The guy sincerely told me that he was not a PAM expert and could not tell the difference. He took the watch back and refunded fast.

 

[pkw2704]

ok so who's making the best 111 rep at the moment?? the HWF is a no,no

XF - Hont sells it for 218 usd

XF Factory PAM 111 Made 1:1 Comparison With Gen Now Available

XF Factory has just released their PAM 111 They have made it 1:1 with the gen, and they have made the movement similar like the gen with the shock absorber feature.

Lume is a little bit more green then gen and the fake swan neck screw are the small issues but its 99% accurate.

The QC pics are really not different from the website pics (below) tbh….its obvious the lume is different. This isnt a “QC” issue as much as its a version/factory issue. My advice is do more research by looking here on the forum to understand the differences between factories and versions before you order.

I just bought a 1313 and one factory had shit brown lume nothing like gen and the other silver…I picked the correct one and love it because I did my research.

Try asking if he would be ok swapping for somthing else. Be reasonable and offer to take a hit on it and maybe hell help you out. Hes a good TD so most likely he will if youre reasonable. There are several better 111 options he has on his site (as others have previously recommended).

HWF is mid tier rep charging premium prices. Avoid

XF 111 is the way to go atm. Not as good as old noob versions, but you can get the XF for 220 with Hont which is a great price.

 

[pkw2704]

it was advertised as Noob and the video shows white matching loom thats why i went for it,he says its what the factory gave him so maybe things are different now,his shows Q serial but my QC shows R serial,so something is not correct.he seems a good person ,the replacement 111 he then showed was exactly the same so I have asked for a 915 instead

 

[pkw2704]

will look at the hont one
