Ok guys as mentioned on the title, I have the dilemma of choosing between PAM005 N Noob V2.5 from TORO and H-Fac V2 from asian7750 for my next pick. Both are super rep and best version as mention in ALE PAM review guide. However, I would like you guys to chime in what are your thoughts on these two (i.e pros and cons) and get some opinion of you guys on which do would you prefer and why. Below are the links for those two PAM005. Thanks.

For the 005, its called super rep because of the closed caseback and the big noticeable flaw are in the OFFICINE PANERAI engravings
Noob version is engraved like gen, H fac is printed.
For the dial hands engraving etc, Noob is better in overall imo

Thanks for the comment 458spider. Yeah I have seen on some threads other members mentioned the OP on the movement is engraved on Noob and Printed on H-Fac but like you've said it is a closed case back so i wouldn't mind either of them. However, good to know that Noob is better in dial, hands and engraving. cheers :)

Movement is the same because is a 6497 decorated like OPII
Dial and crystal are almost the same
Case and CG will be better Noob
Up to you
