I'm dying for an 088 o series noob and can't find one anywhere. Let me know if you have any luck.

So, congrats? :lol:

Try every TD that's listed. They don't all have the same stock.

Already did that. There’s a couple that haven’t gotten back to me because they’re on vacation or whatnot, but it’s not looking good so far :cry2:

Not quite ready to give in and settle for H factory just yet though.

Goodluck. One of the best reps available IMHO.

Have you tried the supporting vendors? :whistle:

Heard back from 9 TD/SV's so far an nobody has it. Doesn't look like there are any out in the wild. Any thoughts on springing for a noob 297 instead and replacing the bracelet with leather?

That would probably the next best thing. Do keep in mind the PAM297 does not have the silvered subdial that the PAM088 has.

Yeah, I was thinking since both were released at the same time and that the only difference is strap/subdial color that both noob models would be identical in quality & accuracy. Haven't found any info out there as to whether the concentric rings on the 297 seconds dial are accurately replicated.

At this point I guess the options are
a) settle for H Factory 088 (which are being discounted at a lot of places since everyone who wants an 088 wants the noob)
b) settle for noob 297 or
c) wait and hope that noob produces more at some point (unlikely), or that a used one appears like a unicorn on the sales corner (also unlikely).

So here's a question. Assuming one could actually source the part, could a gen 088 dial be transplanted into a noob 297 with little difficulty?
