Hi guys! i been loitering around the PAM forum for quite awhile.

Last week i ordered my favourite PAM 372 and received 2days ago.

This week i can't stop the PAM temptation again, just ordered PAM 390!

Both from Noob Factory!

Ordered a customized strap for 372, will post some photos when it arrives!

Just curious, is there anywhere i can post QC picture for assistance for PAM 390, been reading up quite abit, can't get any new noob version 390 photos for comparison.

Received the QC photos for pam 390, it seems like the crown guard is thicker then those shown in the 44mm comparison done by ALE bro. At the same time its not level, with one side seems slightly protrude higher than the case.

Anyone face similar issue before?

Mine seems like having the older CG. Any advice?
Im no expert in this so i cant really see the difference. Maybe ask for photos from different angle? If its bothering you so much i think you could ask for a new watch.

Your watch is an H maker last series, isn't it??

I can see nothing weird in the CG. Just the pic is taken with a small focal distance and the CG seems a bit enlarged.

It's suppose to be from Noob Factory.

Here is another angle. The CG seems bigger to me in all angles, when comparing to those CG in ur review/comparison.

I have done similar comparison with other 390 photos. It doesn't seems anywhere close.:sad:

CG is correct, but your watch is not at all a Noob is an H maker

Thanks ALE! Yup i noticed that, had compare with ur 44mm comparison review.

Have rejected the watch. Stating is not from Noob Factory, but from H factory.

Do TD usually have such issue? Have told Toro to confirm the watch is from noob factory, they respond yes. But ended up is from H factory again. This is quite disappointing.:sad:

There are nowadays a lot of weird things with Luminor 44mm cases
All is possible
You had better buying another model

hmmm this is rather worrying, ordered a NOOB pam 360 from Toro and I received QC pics of a H-Fac 360.

I know for sure because:
1. H-Fac dial for sure, noob dial has a flaw where LUMINOR PANERAI is printed too low.
2. Caseback is also H-Fac the OP logos are wrong, consistent with H-Fac 360 casebacks.
3. Case is also H-Fac

I don't want to start making accusations but looks like Toro is trying to pass off H-Fac pams as Noob pams....

You have to tell me your order number please to have a check what is going on because from those pics I cannot say too much.
