Newbie looking to buy a pam

[Simonashworth1]

Hi all.
Been looking at buying a Pam 243.
I'm in the uk.
Can anyone recommend a seller off this forum to purchase one and should I go with the Noob Factory Or H?
Any info would be appreciated .
Thanks
Simon

look for the PAM section and read ALE's great work!

Noob regarded as slightly better but both are very very good. Check the dealer section and their sites for availability

Noob V2 has less flaws but smokiedabong's excellent comparison shows that the crystal and dial slightly favor the H-factory version. Anyway, both are super-rep level.

As to TDs based in the UK, you may want to contact sead1999 (Supermirrors). Good luck on your first PAM!

Thanks watt for your commnents

Of course, Simonash that is the best way to start, after reading you can consult more things in a specific thread.

The Noob 243 is fabulous. Spring for the extra $40 or so and get an Asso strap with it too. That's the replica of the Panerai padded strap, and though not as good as the real thing, it is really good value considering the price. It'll mean that you will have two very different 'looks' for the3 watch: the rubber strap; and the leather. I got mine from Puretime, but I assume they all have them. Welcome to the wonderful/bizarre/ highly addictive world of Panerai.

Sorry.
This post was from my account I set up the other day but having problems with that email( work account) so set up a new one.
Looks a bit confusing. My iPhone was still logged into my account and my iPad in my new account? Can the mods close trust trusty account?
Not very good on these apple devices.

Just thought i would put up a post of my new pam .
What a great service from sead1999. Got the watch in 2 days in the uk. Excellent price.

I own 2 gen omegas and never had a rep before.
The quality of this h factory pan is amazing.

Thanks for the info guys. Keep up the good work.

Looks to be H-factory. QR placement, CG lever shape and placement, beveling at the lugs. I'm curious as to the strap with the watch. Was that the original strap or it was replaced? The 243 normally comes with the new type strap (the one with only the OP logo and not the OFFICINE PANERAI text).

 

[Simonashworth1]

Yes I was told its a H ?
The strap came on it?
I'm looking at buying a brown leather strap for it soon.

Damn took too long deciding weather to get this one from him and you best me to it! Looks great:maty:

 

[Simonashworth1]

Just got my new strap fitted. It by steveo straps in the uk. The beast.

Looks totally different now.
Cheers
