PAM 366 “FUâ€-Differences between GEN-Noob & H maker versions
PAM 366 “FUâ€
Differences between GEN-Noob & H maker versions
1- LOWER DIAL
In lower dial, just in L SWISS MADE L and “FU†symbol are located the most noticeable differences
L SWISS MADE L
This inscription get almost good placement in H maker replica, although it is placed a bit lower than gen. Vertical placement are correct
However Noob replica has the L SWISS MADE L placed clearly higher and closer to FU symbol. Besides Noob inscription is displaced to the left side and then starts before the FU symbol in relation to the gen and H maker replica.
See in below FIGURE following orange lines the differences in horizontal placements and with green lines you can see the differences of placement between starting of L SWISS MADE L and FU symbol. In gen and h maker L SWISS MADE L inscription and FU symbol start closer.
As you can see Yandex watch is the same as Noob replica
“L SWISS MADE L†AND â€FU†SYMBOL COMPARISONS
“FU†SYMBOL
In beLow FIGURE you can see the differences of shape of “FU†symbols. The placement is correct in all watches.
“FU†SYMBOL COMPARISONS
Hole “1†is smaller in Noob replicas. H maker has almost correct hole very similar to the gen
Cross shape “2†is clearly thicker in Noob version. H maker cross is more accurate but still thicker.
Frame “3†of the second character is clearly thicker in Noob rep. H maker frame is almost perfect
Stroke “4†is accurate in H maker replica but much fatter in Noob version
Angle “5†is sharper in gen and H maker, in Noob is more rounded.
Shape “6†is accurate enough in H maker, but Noob shape is completely thicker and different.
Two upper strokes under the symbol are different too in Noob and Noob symbol is overall thicker.
Of course Yandex watch is exactly the same as Noob version
2-CROWN GUARD
As you can see in the pics Noob has as usually more square inner edges and corners, but not as perfect as original ones.
The Roller support of Noob has a much more open angle than gen one. This difference was widely studied in the thread:
http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/pcteam-pam-luminor-150417?t=150417
In below FIGURE is showed the Roller support of Yandex watch which is exactly the same as a Noob.

Therefore Yandex watch has the same Roller support as a Noob replica
3-CROWN
As already studied in above mentioned thread:
http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/pcteam-pam-luminor-150417?t=150417
Noob crown has “fat†profil whereas H maker and mainly gen sport “slip†profil crown.
In Below figure you can see the nice “slim†profil of gen FU:
GEN PAM 366 FU “SLIM†CROWN
And now in below FIGURE the “fat†crown, indicated by orange arrows, of Yandex watch, which is the same exactly as Noob crowns installed in FU models.

4-LUGS SHAPE
As already studied in above mentioned thread:
http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/pcteam-pam-luminor-150417?t=150417
Noob lugs have a characteristic shape, exactly the same as showed in previous FIGURE of Yandex watch
5-CANNON PINION
We cannot say that the Cannon pinion, with its evident protuberance, is from Noob factory, but evidently it is not of a gen Panerai.
As we all know CP in reps is a little hit-and-miss
Anyway, without doubts, a rep CP.
6- INSCRIPTIONS LUMINOR MARINA PANERAI ON DIAL
Noob inscriptions are thicker than gen and H maker.
The same thickness is showed in Yandex watch inscriptions
7- OTHER DIFFERENCES ON DIAL
There are other little differences on dial, as you can see in “3†marker, which is accurate in H maker rep but has slightly different shape in Noob, exactly the same as Yandex watch.
This is few noticeable and it is not important, but it is useful for identification purposes.
8-CASEBACK
There are several differences but the most noticeable is the OP logo
Gen and H maker are narrow and they have engraved just the contour of the OP logo.
See below FIGURE of gen casebacks
PAM 366 “FU†GEN CASEBACKS
Noob replica has engraved all the body of the logo and is clearly wider, really inaccurate.
See in below FIGURE the differences between H maker and Noob casebacks
Of course Yandex watch has a logo engraved like a Noob replica.
PAM 366 “FU†REP CASEBACKS NOOB-YANDEX-H MAKER COMPARISON
This little study will be useful to identify a PAM 366 “FUâ€, allowing to know if it is GEN, Noob or H maker.
We have been able to know that H maker is more accurate in general regarding dial and caseback, but unfortunately the CG and case of Noob is clearly superior
YANDEX WATCH - Conclusion
As said already at the begining, Yandex watch is clearly a replica from Nobb factory as we can see easily through above FIGURES and comments
Therfore: CASE CLOSED
