New to reps, is this 111 (H factory) a decent one to start with?

[tick_tock]

Looking to try out a rep PAM 111, ideally in the sub $200 price range. This is my first rep, so I'm new to the whole thing and ordering process.

I understand Noob V3 is the best PAM111 out there, I'm not exactly concerned about having a 1:1, just a decent watch that won't fall apart and will look OK. I have a Parnis "Marina Militare" PAM homage today and if I can get one in similar or better quality than that (maybe with less horrible lume), it would be fine.

No one has PAMs around here or even knows what they are so trueness to gen isn't the biggest concern.

So I am thinking this one on Torobravo: http://www.torobravo2015.com/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=82 , from "H" factory.

I try to search as much as I can, but "H" is quite a difficult thing to search for as you could imagine.

I just want to make sure I don't make a mistake and get something crappy? Being so new I'm very unsure.

Again I've tried to search as much as I can so please don't burn me at the stake, lol.

I recommend u to go for the PAM111 Noob V3, cause it's a Super Rep Class.

For handwinding mechanism, I read somewhere, it's more hardy than automatics... so chances of it spoiling should be lower.

H-Fac is good, but not as good as Noob. PM Toro and tell him to source you a 'V4' 111. Do note that only the case is V4 though.

+1 on that. Afterall, chip in the extra Cash and get the better so you'll be happier in the long run!
