New to PAM, some accuracy questions.

[AHX]

Hey guys,

I've been looking at a PAM 005, just wondering how accurate this is? I know the PAM111 is massively accurate for a rep, the 005 seems to be the same, am I right in this or is it less true to gen? For example, from PT:

http://puretimewatch.com/product/pam111-m-noob-transparent-ar-best-edition-on-black-oem-rubber-strap/ (How is the AR better?)

I'm also of the opinion that the quality of the Noobs is better than H-Maker, is this correct? And finally, how accurate are the papers and box set, as seen here:

BONUS QUESTION! How are these two?

I realise some of this could be searched but I'm after up to date opinions.

Cheers!

005, 292, 251, 000 are all great. The Noob guys are probably ahead of the H guys, but they are all scary close. I can't speak to the quality of the box and papers, but I've owned a 000, 111J, 005, 219, 177, 026, and a 292. All are top quality. I've put the 000 next to a gen and it is quite close.

You won't be disappointed with the 111M Noob or the H Factory 005. The 292 is great aside from the lug issue which some folks are experiencing.

Crap, I put this in the wrong tab. This was meant to be in Panerai, mods please move! *sheepish*

I had heard that the 292M had fixed the lug issue, so I'll probably look for that one if I end up liking my 005. I have a Kain Heritage ostrich strap on the way

Noob and H are both very good, by all reports Noob had the best 111, H have the best 005, depending on who you speak to, H has better lume and crystal, Noob has better CG and case internals. You really can't go wrong with either maker, both are producing some of the most accurate ootb reps ever.

I have taken the H maker 111...Do you guys think that i was completelly wrong?Have seen the H vs Noob vs gen review but after the order..

 

[AHX]

H Maker does better 005? Hmm. Wasn't aware of that.

 

[COLDI]

H maker has the best 005 IMO

111M noob is better but there are reports coming in that since it has double AR the top layer of the AR is fragile and is scratching

 

[bigdeal]

and they are both really really good anyway...
