Hi guys,
i am deciding to get a pam111 , from what I researched on the forum , it seem like this noob v3 is the best version at the moment
http://www.intime.co/panerai/1203-p...-factory-pre-v-hands-on-brown-calf-strap.html

however i saw another one on intime from noob as well with higher asking price
http://www.intime.co/panerai/1179-p...-leather-strap-swiss-eta6497-y-incabloc-.html

i am a bit confused now , not sure which one is best version to get ?
If anyone can give some advice , it would be much appreciated.
thanks guys

in the first set Asian 6497-2 (21600vph), in the second set swiss unitas 6497-1 (18000vph)
swiss movement looks more similar to the original pam111 movement (mainly due to Y-Incabloc), but the balance wheel larger (18000 vs 21600 vph)

My opinion: if you basically external similarity with the original is better to take "Y-Incabloc Mod Asian UNITAS-6497-2 21600vph" http://www.intime.co/panerai/1583-p...n-asso-strap-y-incabloc-mod-asian-6497-2.html, if not, then the best choice you first link

My advice for this rep at this moment is waiting for the next evolutions in the market

Noob V3 is an "old" case surpassed by the new Noob of PAM 390. Sooner or latter Noob will add the new case to PAM 111.
Now Noob is taking advantage of the "old" fame of V3 and is using the old cases for this watch.

Besides there are in the market new versions with NEW cases from H maker and KW, but we have not yet info about the dial and makers are mixing old and new parts in the first batches

Wait, wait , wait.....

This is a good point, because there are still "old" units in the market.
You would need pics of the case from 6 or 12 to see the upper part of the lugs detached from the edge of the cushion shape and a good pic from 3 to see the crown profile and the lug shape.
If you read the thread:

You can realize the differences between the gen and the "old" Noob case
The NEW Noob case seen from 6 or 12 is more similar to the KW case and to the gen case
