Noob Factory 177N Does it Exist?

[jsnowball81]

As the title says.. Does the Noob Factory make the 177 at all? Every 177M/N offered on the TD websites states that they are H Factory sourced.

On a similar note ... and possibly a different thread... Has anyone done a true compare of the new 177N vs the 177M? I believe Trevor is/was shipping N's instead the M's. I know there were nice upgrades on the Noob 111 from M series to N but that was a different factory.

Any input is welcome and appreciated.

No to both. Don't think I've seen a Noob 177 and not seen a comparison either. There's a good chance it's just a change of caseback but I can't confirm that.

 

[ApO]

Not yet , i hope they ll make it

Even i looked for a noob 177 but couldnt find it

The 177N has vintage hands installed and the canonpin looks better too, The engraving on the back is much better then the 177M too. Only missing is the dial printing that isn't changed, were a noob 111 dial is better (except the lume)
Saw a comparison of the watches on RG

Thanks all for the input.

I got my QC photos from Trevor today and the first thing I noticed was that the case back engraving was better.

This is my first PAM and I think it will be the first of many.

Hey all,

Just thought I'd bump this topic to ask a question or two!

So...


Has the 177N got sapphire caseback?

In some dealer photos (5th one down here: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/my-first-pami-92633?t=92633)

and on Trusty's QC pics:

and on Sead's pics: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/pam-177-h-98794

it looks like it has because the CB crystal doesn't look like it has the green/blue tint of the mineral.


But in other photos, like the CB pic on Trusty's main page for the 177N: http://www.trustytime.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=37_49&products_id=8784
it looks like it hasn't...

Has anyone got one and can tell for definite?


Also, I know the Noob 111 frontplate is better because the text font is more cream in colour (and I think the Noob 111Nv2 with the sharp CG has got rid of the Low-A issue too??) but
which lume is better? and which is more accurate? H-Factory or Noobfactory?

The 111 Teardown thread saw the Noob 111 win the lume contest, because it was closer to the aqua-green of the gen dial that was being compared (and also the construction was more gen-like):

But SPBoudart's comparison pictures (to a gen 177) between H Factory backplate and hands and Noob backplate/hands lume seems to show that H-Factory is closer to gen in brightness and, seemingly, colour...

Noob on right, gen on left:

H on right, gen on left:

Which is correct for the 177M/N? Is the Gen lume more green than the aqua-green lume of the 111M?


Thanks for any help anyone can give, it looks like there has not been many posts about the 177N so hopefully someone can help!

Also interested. What to buy?

 

[Klockis]

As for caseback.
H-factory uses mineral, Noob (on the 111/112) uses sapphire.

 

[pamatea]

I would also like to get a 177N and could only seem to find it on Trusty's website with the 21 beat movement

 

[priklep]

I pulled the trigger with Trusty's 177N 21600 movement today.

Fingers crossed.

Just thought I'd bump this thread now the Noob 177N has been released

Asso Strap: http://puretime.co/product/pam177-n-noob-best-edition-on-brown-asso-leather-strap/

Rubber strap: http://puretime.co/product/pam177-n-noob-best-edition-on-black-oem-rubber-strap/

Croc strap: http://puretime.co/product/pam177-n-noob-best-edition-on-brown-croco-leather-strap/

Looks pretty good to me - Highbeat movement, hopefully the usual Noobfactory build quality, sapphire caseback (from what I can tell?), and hopefully the blue-tinge lume and cream dial text instead of the green lume and white dial text of the H-Factory version


Has anyone ordered one yet??

 

[brokoskie]

Anyone order one? I'm torn between the latest 111N and a 177...

Help!
