Pics would be Great! You have mine...

again 356 is outstanding- I had it 2013, sold it and now again. I won't (probably never ever) buy a Gen Pam again.


Here is a (bad) pic, how good the Crystal is

Here you go. Sorry I had to take them with a crappy ipad cam.
The bezel polish (done noticebaly better by a mile) and the super clear crytal gives this version an edge over Noob's.

The bezel polish is indeed nicer to look at on the "H", as it is crisper, but sadly, not true to gen.

On the other hand, the Crystal does POP!!! Now if we can just get a dealer to sell us a few "H" Crystals!!!

The H crystal does have it's own problems, as they usually sit a touch higher, and are slightly different in Dia. ALE could tell you far more about it. It does talk about it in the Pam guide.

jtx0512, that H Factory crystal looks so sharp!
My Noob PAM 111 v4 is due Monday... so I'm curious to see the comparison write ups against what I'll be getting.

I am going to send it off to have it modded and all issues corrected to get as close to gen as possible.

I've been reading these posts and Marlin and Goin are
pretty sought after modders.

Has anyone dealt with Replica Watch Repair
https://replicawatchrepair.com/? They are in Crystal Lake and offer some complete PAM overhauls.
I recently sent a PVD Rolex Submariner over for them to mod... (maker of the Rolex is unknown)

True true but having owned both versions, I personally recommend Hfact over noob strongly. I could care less about the microscope differences that I personally can't spot compared to gen. The hfact version just has more premium feel to it IMO. At the end, each to their own but I value the overall feeling/look more than accuracy. Besides the watch looks really accurate to me anyway. ;)
