"I" shape is not actually "used". It is really PRODUCED.

This "I" shape of reflections is produced by the sharp transition edges of the bezel profile.

Yes. H maker is still making shaper edges and the "I" shape continues. Indeed the bezel profile is even more inaccurate than in old versions. But H maker is making a lot of inconsistencies in last productions and you can see some bezels with slightly improved profile (but still more inaccurate than Noob bezel)

Anyway the inaccurate bezel of H maker is really NICE. And the appearance is impressive.

KW bezel is something between Noob and H maker

ALE

are this pam 164 o from noob factory or h factory? they are different watch

because i want use my noob bracelet from noob pam 297 to this pam

Yes but not the crown guard. Crown guard with correct lever is no longer production.

Hello kampachi, where can i source for the correct CG & lever? Is it a very obvious tell? :O Whats the difference between the Rep CG & Gen CG? Sorry if i asked alot as i have been reading up lately but still unable to distinguish.

One thing from my QC pics i realised is the CG pin is kinda popped out, i have circled it in red btw.

Buying first rep from trusted dealer, PAM 111 H-factory from Sead, had an issue with the first set of QC pics with obvious flaws of the caseguard, and asked for another watch. Asked for another watch, and got a lot of vague responses and After some back and forth finally got him to atleast replace the caseguard with another one. These are the pics after replacing the CG, and trying to assess if this is the new caseset.

Good and clean lug space and squarish cg. Should be the latest case.

Really? Then I will preserve my last V4 carefully!
Yes you should mate. I've sold all of mine and im sure gonna regret it in the future lol. The Noob 390's have been produced with v3 cg and lever since early of the year.

[MENTION=111819]Serdar[/MENTION] yes [MENTION=38386]AGL[/MENTION] yes but CG is the old V3. kampachi told the V4 CGs with correct lever are no longer available.

The V4 CG is the best ever made, very close to the gen. But no longer available. Noob sells only the old CG V3 with 44mm historic Luminors. Take this one mate.

Just purchased a 005 v4 from Noob. Been a while since I sold my 111 v3 which was good to my blind eyes at that time but having experienced a lot of different watches both gen and rep, I'm curious to see how the 005 v4 compares to the gen! ;)

417KW purchased 21-09-2015

Noob v4 case and finish is better quality against KW case, on my QC visible CG has uneven bottom corner (over machined or drilled), overall on the hours hand missing paint from the tip, unless it is a dust spec. I think dial is OK but I am not so sure about the number "6". Lug holes still too high compared to noob. Lever shape not as good as noob and inside finish is rather rough.

Would I have to smooth the inside of CG and repolish lever for fine finish, or ask for another ?
