Hi Guys,

First of all: really nice forum!
I´ve already bought 3 watches and looking for my first PAM now.
I really like the TI style, so which one should I go for the 177 from H or N factory?

Hi guys,

I'm looking into getting the 177 as my first rep and have realised the Noob 177N is out of stock. In asking around, I received this response and am curious what everyone thinks about this?

"177.. Noob has stopped making.. Cos theirs is completely wrong …They do it using a 111 casework profile which is completely wrong . EVeryone at the forums knows that .. and condemns it .. they phased out after the first run knowing its bad ..

For 177 .. the best made is PN177N01 and 2 (H factory). this is using a genuine 177 to make.. the finer casework profiles are exact .. "

I haven't found the review or forum posts that mention such criticism with the Noob version though?!

Let me guess...
Have you received these responses from Perfect Clones of Trusty Time ???
OMG!! again the same !!

All Luminor case-sets 44mm either Noob or H maker or KW have flaws but Noob and KW are the best an H maker is the worst in almost every aspects.
Read this complete comparison review with a final evaluation and you will see the truth.

Talking about sandwich dials and inscriptions no comments, people know about the Noob quality.

Try to get a Noob N-series and you will get the best option so far

Item no. is from PC website, no surprise they're no TD here :facepalm:
Anyway, I heard as well recently that noob factory 177 is out of stock. H-fac could be a good second option in that case, also considering the reduced price.

There is a new batch of PAM177(176?) from Noob available. No improvements, but a new batch. Sora (ShineWatch) can source it.

Yes indeed H maker is a very good option maybe at 85-90% of the Noob quality.
But it is no needed to say Noob is a crap. I think this is really damaging for the dealer saying it and for H maker.They lose credibility

I just ordered a new updated noob 177 P series. The N series was out of stock so they could update it to the current P series I believe. Try your TD again and request the P series.

Please confirm this point, because there is no announcements from dealers or makers about this P-series

QC pics or info would be appreciated in order to see if there are some improvements (most likely NO)
But it is possible slim crown and better bevelled on crystal. We will see

Sure, here are my QC. I am thinking they just updated the series to "P" but I'm not too sure, I tried to order a noob 177 a few weeks ago and my dealer told me they were out of stock and a new batch would be out soon with some improvements and then I received these QC photos which I accepted :)

Omg. There's a Noob P series released?! I just placed the order for the H factory N series and received the QC pics. Is it bad to change my mind at this stage? I guess it's good to simply switch to another watch at this stage and order the P series from someone who stocks it?

What is strange is that I emailed about 8 dealers to ask about the Noob N series and everyone responded with "out of stock"... No one has this P series or mentioned it was coming. Is this odd?


P.S. I had a bit of a noob fail... I thought that the minute I posted on a thread, I would automatically subscribe and get email notification... hence I missed all this discussion until I went back now :/

Really interesting
As far as I can see there are no changes, just a new batch still with Fat crown, the same wrong Noob lever. Just maybe an improved bevelled of crystal.

Noob change to P-series with the same quality and features than N-series. No news

You were informed about this matter some posts ago
I'm afraid you will be able to do nothing

You have been victim of the biassed comment of a dealer.
Anyway H maker is a very good option. No worries about that

Yes. I've been doing lots of reading over the past couple of months... Big thanks to you ALE and many others on the forum! It's been a fun experience falling into this world of reps. This is my first purchase, and you're right... the H fac is still an excellent rep. I guess I am simply amazed at the depth of the reviews and can get so caught up with the information provided... I need to remember to step back and enjoy wearing the variety of watches that are on offer :)

OP that is crazy the nonsense that TD told you about the Noob. Just a flat out fabrication, don't buy from them IMO
Atespo... 177 looks good to me! Ale's right I see no changes either, but it's still a great watch. Start with a gen crown tho like this one. Sucks that there is no correct rep Ti crown available.

If I decide I like the Titanium Luminor I do want to get a gen crown, but what gen crown do I hunt for? Any manual wind luminor gen crown will fit? Where is the best place to source a gen crown?
