Looking for PAM 292j Noob

[FAIRLADY Z]

I am looking for PAM 292j (PIG) by Noob
i have read a few posts that compared Noob 292j with H factory 292j .. then I think Noob one is quite attractive to me
If anybody wants to sell it, please let me know

The new KW one without the pig is supposed to be better...refer to a few threads down.

Hello Flashbolt
You mean 292 O ? I also like the new KW O series though But i am not quite sure what the difference is with 292j one..:helpsmilie:

i think it would be premature to say the kW version one is better, considering nobody's gotten it in hand yet and we're just basing reviews off qc pics. and the noob 292J has been a super rep for a couple years now so there would need to be a definitive comparison review in order to determine which is indeed "better".

the 292J has the "pig" or submarine embossed on the dial above "panerai" whereas the kw292O does not have the pig. the gen J series was the first batch (I think) of 292 panerai made and subsequent series of 292 did not have the pig on the dial.

as as for the differences between the reps, apart from the dial difference, the crown on the noob 292J is ceramic whereas the crown on the kw 292O is black dlc coated steel

My early assumptions: KW292 would have better crown tube but inaccurate crown head, better looking dial (very accurate) as compared to the 292j ugly pig dildo stamp. Case wise, we have to wait for qc or pictures from members. What i see is the edges of the KW are slightly flat. Caseback for both models have the usual issues like slightly thinner and shallow engravings but not noticeable.

I appreciate for you guys advice.
I haven't seen any reviews for KW 292O so I am not quite sure KW292 is better than Noob 292j, I hope see any reviews of it

Maybe KW 292 is not at the level of Noob, I really doubt is better, the same level at maximum. But most likely is another Super rep
Dial is very good, even better than Noob with PIG and of course than Noob without PIG (wrong PANERAI inscription position). Crown tube is better but crown is inferior not being ceramic (maybe an advantage for a rep?? less fragile)
