Not sure about the producer of 390. Noob or KW?

[Vaughn]

Hi all,
after spending a lot of time on searching, researching and thinking I decided to reward myself with Pam 390.
However, I'm stuck with choosing a producer of the watch. It would be either KW or Noob factory.
I've read an awesome and very informative guide about PAM models and comparison of several 44mm cases, thanks to ALE.
Yet, I'm still not sure which factory to order from.

My question will probably be the most frequent: which factory produces the closest to the gen PAM 390?
I may sound kind of stupid to ask this question after reading great guides but my point is to see the opinions of actual users. The more the better

And another question. If choosing KW, which option to get? There are two of them:

http://www.kuvarsit.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=31709 for $258
and
http://www.kuvarsit.com/index.php?dispatch=products.view&product_id=31683 for $288

what are the differences exactly? One that I noted is a strap but I don't know if there are some other differences.

Thanks guys in advance for your opinions.

Supermirrors sead have one at only 155 $ may be you like that is
decent i heard

Noob is the best. It is a super rep.

Buy a Noob and forget other versions

Links from KW :

The cheaper one is an H maker (you can get it cheaper form other dealers)
The more expensive, no pics no indicated maker, most likely last stocks of KW version on Asso strap

As above said, buy a Noob

Alternatively, Vac (Vacuum) in the modders section have the "ultimate" Pam 390
Incorporates all near gen like parts from various factories into one might want to take a look at it

Oh, that would be nice.
Does he sell finished watches or should I buy the watch at first and then send it to Vac for mods?

 

[mrtesting]

Yes it is it as a set, unfortunately he is not a registered trusted vendor in this forum, he is on repgeek though, so do take note, rwi will not be responsible for any transaction between you and vacuum

Here's a wrist shot from the thread (but last year, not too sure if he still does such a mod)

The hands of noob I have seen was not similar to gen. And theirs quality was very poor. Can anyone make high def photo of the hands in your watches? Is it possible to change the hands of noob watch to best quality hands?

What are you talking about Noob hands quality?. See below comparison:

Of course colour is more rose than gen but quality??
Anyway colour is not easily noticeable in practice with the light reflections

Bad thing that Vac doesn't do this anymore. He still accepts watches for modding but he doesn't build watches for sale.
I'll go with noob then.

What about the hands on foto? Look at the sides.

Look at the top of the long hand by the center. The watch had bought at Ryan as Noob
