PAM 243 Noob V2 OR H Factory???

It's a Noob. I am not 100% sure if it is a V2 from the pics (L SWISS L seems a little close to the 6, but could be the angle). However, if the cannon pin is polished it's a V2.

Hi 2ric
The pics are not so good to decide but your watch seems a Noob surely V2.
The 60 clisk bezel is not a reason because all 243 Noob have 60 clicks.
Usually the V2 were M-series but many people say (and I think is true) that there was a batch L-series with V2 improvements, and your watch can be one of them.
Please check the correct beveled shape on the lower corner of the CG, like indicated in below pic, this feature is only for V2.
If your watch has this beveled shape most likely it is a V2, if your watch has not this shape and moreover it is a L-series most likely it is not a V2.

Reviving an old thread here, but in case anyone is wondering there definitely was a V2 batch in the L series, I have one. It has the chamfered crown guard edge, polished cannon pinion, and flat pearl. The 12 & 6 o'clock lume is better than many of the M series I have seen also, particularly the final V2 batch in 9/13 - which unfortunately eems to have many samples with zero lume on 12 & 6.
So it is Totaly Easy to Identify 
1. The Noob v1 and H-Factory haven't Polished Cannon Pin, that only have the V2 Series...
2. The Crown Guard is no Point to Identify Because they use it by some v1 Version too... Mine has the Correct CG but no Polished CP
3. The Deep of the Concentric Cycles, there is only One Real Good Dial! And that is the Dial from v1 then came H-Fac then V2
The Gen has C-Cycles too, but you can only notice it as an right Angle of Light. The v1 Dial Looks like the Gen... They have all C-Cycles but the Deep of it is different.
Many People think there is no Cycle on v1 there is...
4. Noob and H-Fac use different Lume
5. The Bezel from Noob and H-Fac are Totaly Different...
Not only the Clicks. H-Fac has 120 Clicks Noob v1, V2 60 Clicks.
On Noob you can unscrew all Markers Form Bezel on H-Fac NOT! It is One Bezel.
If you have an Scratch in H-Fac Bezel you Order better an New One
6. There are Differnt Tooth on the Bezel... And the Polishing has Changed
And many many more... But with Point 1 you can Identify the Watch
Your PAM243 on the Pic is an Noob v1 Ahhh and there are also Differnce on the Bezel Numbers... I had the luck to See Mine Noob v1 on an GTG Comparse to an Gen L Serie...
My Personal thinking is Grab that v1 ! It has the best Dial... Only the Text is Little more Blood... And the Lume isn't sooo Good... But ist has the best C-Cycles.
If you Say Hmmm Cycles is Not Mine, Grab an H-Fac Dial and put it in an Noob V2 Case... Then you have right Text size, Good Lume but you have more Visible Cycles.
So as i Say'ed Grab that v1 and give it to an Good Modder...
They should Correct you the CP Polish, Give them a Relume, and shape the CG if it isn't right... Then you have an really Nice PAM243...

H Factory PAM 243
Just received my H Factory 243 today. Was very excite, it looks and feels phenomenal but I can't get the thing running. I have carefully wound 40 times and more. Never feeling any tension. Any help or suggestions greatly appreciated.
