@Kenshin why would you do that? That's 3.5X the price of a noob v4

Seller said it has a swiss ETA . Coupled with me being too naive i guess. Im still a newbie. So can anyone tell me anything specific bout my watch?

Have you checked the micro screw that's adjusts the Swan neck? It appears to be missing, or too short

Seller said it has a swiss ETA . Coupled with me being too naive i guess. Im still a newbie. So can anyone tell me anything specific bout my watch?


Sent from the RWI App

It looks like a Noob. V3 or V4. Crown is V3 You paid twice what you needed to. It is unlikely to be a Swiss ETA movement. The Asian version of the ETA 6497 (originally designed for pocketwatches) is so hearty and reliable that I don't discriminate against it. Unlike smaller and more delicate movements, there's really no need to go Swiss here.


Does anyone know where I could purchase a longer Swan neck regulator screw that will fit into these replicas?

hi guys,

received the QC from the TD. Is everything alright with this one? Supposed to be a PAM111 v4 ( https://puretime03.com/pam111-n-v4-...calf-leather-strap-a6497-with-y-incabloc.html )

There are some black spots I think, One on the crown and next to the bezel, could be just dirt though as I don't think that the TD would send me a watch with has black spot corrosion already.

Feedback is appreciated,

Love from Shanghai

Hey man. Bit of a old post but I just had Vac install one for me. Not my V3 is fully modded!!

Maybe shoot him an email and see if he has any. He doesn't always stock them.

My PAM111s arrived from the TD that many people seem to be getting their V4's from based on the QC photos. Does everyone else notice the slight lume color mismatch between the sandwich dial and the hands? The color of the lume on the dial is more green than the hands. And the lume glow from the dial is also stronger and greener than the lume glow from the hands. This is clearly visible in the dark. It is also very visible when coming in from a direct charge into a shaded/indoor location. I'm not sure whether the sandwich dial is C3 and the hands are C1+C3 or whether the quality of lume used in the hands is inferior.

This is difficult to photograph but anyone who has a watch can probably see the effect in person.

I'm guessing there's no way around this because Noob factory is using whatever parts they have on hand. Is there a source for separate lumed hands? I guess the last resort is sending to a modder to relume everything to get a glow bright torch-like matching lume.

@ShanghaiStyler Mine also photographs like that if I turn the exposure up. But I turned the exposure down to show what my eyes detect. Also, the lume of the hands and dial are about equal immediately after charging in light. But a few minutes later, the difference is very very obvious as is the color difference in the lume.

My PAM has pretty good lume. But I just got it like 2 days ago, might explain it :)

even without exposure on, it shines quite good, until now at least and let us see for how long :D
