Having built my first hybrid 005, I enjoyed modding and I've built some 390s, initially for me or for a friend, but in the end have been sold to some fans.
My usual mods are: flattening and polishing cannon pinion, reworked crown guard, CG pin slightly sunken, waterproofing and more... I present them...
(now I'm without a loved 390... :( )

#1 Noob Pam 390 V3 caseset

The strap on my last 390? It's an old vintage ammo strap by JeanPaul Menicucci, three+ years old... maybe I have another one.... need to see

Thank you for your appreciation guys

In my last Noob 390N hands are yellow gold instead of the old pinkish hands... maybe they fixed the flaw...

Thanks Bozz for sharing this interesting build

Please confirm the colour of the hands because it would be very interesting if Noob has already corrected this issue

I will include this link in PAM GUIDE
Congrats

Many thanks ALE. Yes I noticed in my first two 390 the pinkish color of the hands, like copper. In my third and last Noob 390, the hands was gold tone.
In september I'll buy another Noob 390 to build mine (I hope...) We can see if the color is really changed. But I'm pretty sure ;)

Very interesting info
We will keep attention to confirm from other sources again and making "official" the improvement

It's hard to compare shots of two watches not under the exact same lighting conditions. The best set-up is to have both watches in hand and take photos side by side. That's how one member did it and saw the difference in the hands color between the gen and the Noob PAM390.
