Hey guys I'm about to pick up my first PAM replica and I have settled on the 176! I was looking to pick one up of toro bravos. What is the difference between the Noob version and the begginer 176m on the website?

The overal quality and finish is very different, the noob is a lot better.

Buy the noob 176. It's a really nice watch.

Updated H factory cases look good, just check the CG fitment.
I have not seen a real life pic of a new H fac sandwich dial though.

Apparently H-Factory open caseback engravings are not aligned properly. Most if not all of them are engraved a little outwards.

ATM mine is on a vintage Bakeka master cuir strap



Another combo I like a lot is with a classic medium brown:

I always admiredthe subtle look of the 176 but there was always something that blocked me from getting it and i believe compared to gen, the dial font is a tad less bold on noob just like the 111 dial as well. I could be wrong but if this puppy was as close to gen as i hope, i'd take it in a heartbeat. Any thoughts?

Seems like PT only has the M series Noob in stock ... is there much of a difference, if any, between the M and N series?
