I just received today my Noob 247 and 127.

I must say that I had the same feeling as when I got the 029 last month. These watch have really a strong gen like feeling.
The construction is really great, the details are well made it's really a big WOAAAWW.

Now concerning the detail remarks :

243 : The watch is like I though and like the QC pics with the 15 that is slightly cropped and the bezel lumed dot that is slightly domed. But I must admit that it doesn't bother me at all !! It makes really a great watch...

127 : One big positive surprise is the strap much nicer than what I thought and not as yellow as on the pics. It's possible that I will use it a little bit.
The movement is really nice and nicer in real than what I thought also. Little bad point is the crown guard lever that is not as tight as it should be.

Now some pics :

What mod did you do on the 127 ?

Remove the extra lume on the side of the hands ,
Incabloc shape fix to " Y " looks ,
Replace the barrel gear set to better one , closer to gen .
Add oring to make the lever tighter .

Amazing , I can't take it off from my weist !!

Just a little comment after some days of use and look at...
The Noob 127 strap has a "spelling" mistake !! It's written PANERAN on it and not PANERAI.... You can see that on the Puretime Video....

Great collections. But where did you get the 'Officine Panerai' tag which was placed on the strap hole?

Was Searching for it but to no availabilty. Would appreciate if anyone can help.

Thks.

They come with Noob straps for Panerai only :) Have not heard of anyone selling these alone (just a bit of plastick in the end).

Maybe give Angus (puretime) message.

I can not decide between the H or N version of the 243....:lolcina:
I really don't know which one is the best...
