Looks good! How is the weight on the wrist? I have not had the chance to try on any of the reps of this model so far.
lookin' great! I am (im)patiently waiting on mine as it shipped yesterday. Wishful thinking that I'll have it by week end but hopefully a week or so from now.
The watch is a bit heavy compared to regular Luminor PAMs because of the height. But the weight is evenly distributed so your watch won't decide to do a death dive from your wrist.

Sounds good, thanks. I was not sure if this one might be a bit more top heavy and would spin on the wrist unless you clamp down the strap tight. I like to have a little play in the strap, but not so much that it will spin the watch to the side of my wrist.
there you go. these were from QC, since they're better quality shots.
one thing i've noticed, the bevels at the corners of CG aren't that noticeable.

It's a super rep but at 47mm, it is larger and would be more top heavy. But if your wrists can handle the weight, it's fine.

It seems Noob has not added any improvements
Indeed it seems has added some worsening
Noob has not even bothered to make wider the polished edge of the bezel (an easy improvement)
And that will continue happening as long as people buy them without regarding details and keep the list of indiscriminate purchases
Clever Noob's commercial policy !!

I have not received my 243 yet, but I will be curious as to any other items that are changed. I did not have a 243 before, so I can only compare against other 243 photos from other members that are prior posted. But I hold out hope that the 243 will still meet up to standards.
i think there isn't much has changed except for the factory OQC. it's terrible! i've seen sets of QC pictures with crooked/chipped paint markers, raised CG pin, dust/smear on dial, etc (which my watch got all). you really have to examine the photos carefully before giving it a go.
changes i can confirm on the new batch from my own watch.
- concentric circles on subdial, gone.
- bevels at the bottom corners of CG, not noticeable.

If I liked this watch I think I would go for H factory regarding all the circumstances. Higher price (much higher) and poor quality together with the lack of improvements distract me from wanting one. Moreover the more I look at this watch the more ugly it looks to me. But this is just my taste...
