[ALE7575]

It seems that Puretime is announcing without info the PAM 176 and 177 maybe from NOOB factory??

I’m thinking they are likely from Noob because the good finish and square edges of CG and the bad Swan Neck with short screw and no touching the regulator lever are typical from Noob factory

We will see about the quality and the final info from Puretime.
I expect two new Super reps!!

Sorry I was preparing this thread when "priklep" placed yours with almost the same title !!
LOL

Excellent and terrible news!

Excellent because the 177 is next on my list and having the H-Factory and Noob factory to choose from will mean I will get an amazing quality watch.

Terrible news because I've bought 2 watches in the last couple of weeks and my wife will kill me for ordering another one! Will she know that another one has crept in...?

Funny you should say that as I'm trying at the moment, although none seem to meet with her approval, obviously has cheap tastes!

All I have to go on is "not too big, brown leather strap, nice face", which sounds like the dictionary definition of a PAM to me! She likes some of the Crazy Hours, so maybe I'll take the plunge and see what she thinks of it in the metal...

CONFIRMED by Puretime

PAM 176 & 177 from NOOB definitively announced by Puretime with several strap models.
See below in Asso strap models:

http://www.puretime.co/product/pam177-n-noob-best-edition-on-brown-asso-leather-strap/

The PAM 176 is M-series and the 177 N-series. But the caseback pics from Puretime in above links are changed, caseback of 176 is 177 and vice versa

We will see the quality. I expect a new Super rep.
WE REMAIN WAITING FOR COMMENTS TO DEFINITIVE EVALUATION IN THE PAM GUIDE!!!!!!!

Sorry to bump this up. I checked the PAM reference thread, but aside from being a labeled super reps (176m and 177n), did they get as much updates as the 111 v3 did?

The number of updates should not matter, it's the result after the update that should.

The PAM176M and PAM177N from Noob came out the same time as the PAM111N V3 from the same factory. As a result, the new case set fixes all of the flaws in the PAM176/177 that the PAM111N V3 fixed in its update.

If you read ALE's guide you should have been able to read gianton's review which was included there.
