Hello
I want to ask, the 088 Noob stopped to construct? Do you know the reason?
I cannot find to buy one. Do you know where to find?

Not available. You have to choose a different version, get one on m2m or wait that Noob makes it again (it might never happen).

When I contacted a TD I was told the PAM088 is discontinued. Then I had to choose between the PAM299 and PAM297, I went for the 299. No regrets

Only H-fac version of 088N is available (which is still considered a super rep). Noob is not available anymore.

It happened the same with PAM 243 Noob, it was stopped in the top of its success. I really don't know why. Some people said it was an economical problem. But I doubt it because many people had been willing to pay the double for those reps.
Now PAM 088 Noob is also stopped.

You have PAM 029 Noob or you can go to PAM 088 H maker a good competitor

Thanks a lot for your help!!!

I think the H factory PAM88 is great enough to enjoy because far as I can remember the Seconds subdial of noob dial was champagne color when in gen it's supposed to silvery color and I think H fact is silver. Of course this is not a perfect comparison but just though I'd input some info far as my knowledge goes.

ALE, Do you ever think there will be another batch of 243 by noob? I totally miss mine and sucks about the fact that H factory 243 just doesn't cut it for me. I believe it's a possibility because N factory produced last batch of many different watches that were demanded i.e. The JLC Navy Seals Diver that recently came in stock due to an increased amount of demand.

Do you think we could arrange something like that?

Some people have said that H-fac dial is more accurate to gen than the noob one. Some think the H fac caseback is better too. Really, the main way the noob version is superior is the crown guard. This can be easily fixed by swapping the crown guard for a noob one.

I have an H-fac N series at my watchmaker getting serviced right now. When I get it back I will try to source a noob crown guard for it then probably put it up for sale.

I have no news or expectations about a new batch of Noob PAM 243. But in rep world everything is possible

Anyway New PAM 243 H maker is good enough to compete with Noob, same qualities and almost the same flaws, narrower external polished upper edge of the bezel included
