Noob Pam 127

[watchmaninpa]

Hi its been a long LONG time since I have been back here and I see that a new fiddy is out from Noob.
Can anyone direct me to a review on it ? if there is one. I would like to know how its different from my KW rep that i got in 2016.

Also.. same for the Pam 382 Bronzo that just came out.

Thanks very much.

This was the last comparison of all versions of the PAM127 from 2015.

The judgement still holds true because the only improvement the ZF and KW versions had was the Y-incabloc mod which was visible on the display caseback. The newest version remedies it by including this very important feature. Sadly none of the other tells were fixed but still the Noob is the winner in all respects now.

So Mysterio.... thanks for your comment. So you are saying that... the NEW Noob Fiddy doesn't look any different on the wrist from my 2016 KW fiddy ?
If so.... why is the Noob the winner in all respects now ?
I would appreciate the clarification.
Thanks so much.

No you misunderstood. The PAM127 Noob became a super rep lower level when it was released in Oct. 2013 (prior to that it was a First Class rep). The ZF version released in May 2015 and the KW/V6F version released in June 2015 were both judged as super reps lower level as well but Noob was still the best. In order of quality of replication, it was Noob > ZF > KW/V6F. So as of June 2015, that was the ranking. The only improvement that the ZF and KW/V6F had over the Noob was the Y-incabloc on the movement. But even then, Noob was the top. Then when the Noob was re-released a few months ago, it had the Y-incabloc on the movement as well. So now, ZF and KW/V6F no longer have any edge over the Noob factory PAM127. I hope that was clear.

OHHH I see.
So... on the wrist..... the Noob does or does not look any different from the KW or the ZF ?
sorry to ask... I just want to be clear on this.

thanks so much.

Well the Noob is better in terms of case construction, but only if you know where to look.

Thanks Mysterio.....thats interesting.... would you mind please telling me where the differences are on the case ?
Is it the shape ? Is there anything else about the Noob that makes it better on the wrist?

Thanks so much

The differences are nothing that affects how it looks or how it wears on the wrist.

OK i think i understand so its about the quality of the manufacturing then. I'm sorry to keep asking i just was not sure i understood what you meant.

thanks

I think the Noob is cheaper too which makes it a super dooper rep.

Thx

It's not just price. I have not seen the KW and ZF versions too much in recent memory. Stock may be hard to come by. So even if they were cheaper, they would be a hard sell.
