Noob 111M+H-Fac 111M...Mashup?

[HB212]

I need some help from the resident PAM gurus. I currently have an H-Factory 111M and just impulse bought a Noob 111M off RG. I know each has their pros and cons, but is there a way to take the best of both watches to make one nicer watch?

I was under the impression that the Noob 111M was the same as the 111N, just with a different SN...but now I read that the "N" was actually updated with nicer crystal and CG. True?

Thanks for the help, guys.

PAM111N has 1 sided AR and a much nicer CG. I'm trying to get one but most of the TDs are out of stock.

What is the crystal on the 111M Noob like? How does it compare to the H-fac 111M crystal?

lol yeah, but I'm not very good at spotting which parts are closer to Gen than others.

So the Noob 111M just came in and I have it side by side next to my H-Fac 111M. They each have their pros and cons...I'm really not sure which one is closer to gen lol.

Nice to hear they're in place, congrats on two beautiful watches!

Have you btw started out reading through the masterpiece review by Angus on the differences between H/N 111M?

What I noticed with my two were:

H-Fac Pros:
- Clearer crystal
- Quieter movement (Maybe because mine was serviced)
- High and polished CP
- Stronger Lume
- Better lug screws

H-Fac Cons:
- Low Beat movement
- Dial text too flat and white
- Crown guard not as nice
- Printed OP on the back
- Mineral crystal caseback
- Crystal height too low

N-Fac Pros:
- Much nicer case
- Much nicer crown guard
- Hi Beat movement
- Engraved OP in the back
- Correct colour and texture dial print
- Sapphire crystal caseback
- Proper crystal height

N-Fac Cons:
- Crystal not as clear as H
- Recessed CP
- Weaker lume than H-fac
- Very noisy
