thanks for your valuable input. What's about the dial and minute/hour hands?

Some members have made remarkable mods. Would you encourage me to send it for polishing?

Also, would you know if the watch is waterproof?

Could you please be more precise about how the last lever version should look like? I really do not know which version I have in my recently bought 177 and 390..



Thanks!

Just received the PAM 390 Noob latest version from Sead.

Pardon the crappy images, I only got an iphone 6 for a camera.







Welcome all comments from fellow members and much guidance on the possible mods I should be looking at.

Maybe a swap for the crown?

Looks ms like noob swapped back to the correct lever? Or is it the angle of the pics.. Can you confirm this?

Have a look at this link to know what I am talking about: http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/...lowed-*****?p=2169858&viewfull=1#post-2169858

weird though, when did you buy from Sead? Was asking him about the 390 but he told me still the old v3 lever..

Hi kampachi,

Order was placed probably a week ago?

After receiving the QC pics, I checked with Sead if it was the latest version. He confirmed and mentioned that he doesn't have any old stock on hand.

jamilton,

I am not an expert, but I see the difference between my 390 lever and yours. yours looks v4 because tip is more flush with the case like on gen, my picture below is less parallel to the case, so it looks v3. Differences are so small that really it is still a super rep regardless of the lever, but yours looks really good. Below is mine for comparo.

Today I've received my first watch pam390n. Believe it or not it took only 5 days to get it from Mark to Canada. Quality is outstanding, special thanks to ALE for his PAM Guide it is such a wealth of information, unbelievable work. I could not believe how nice the watch is in person, no pictures can justify its beauty.

One thing that I have noticed is that cg lever is nice and snug. Is it possible that in v4 case Noob is installing a rubber bushing in the cg lever similar to gen ? I am not going to take it apart to confirm, but it is a nice surprise that it is so snug and firm.

Few pics for verification, and wrist shot.

I GOT TO GET ANOTHER PAM in 1950 case, THIS IS WAY TOO COOL !!!

Beautiful design, simple, elegant, original, from 10ft away it does not look like the rest of the pack, thats what I like. Spectacular watch !

The 390 is just beautiful.

Great choice of strap by the way!

Hi All,

After a lot of research I decided to buy my first Panerai, a pam 390 noob it looks like an amazing rep.

I have just received my QC pictures and would welcome your thoughts as I'm no expert yet.

Good ol' pam390 noob which is near to perfection. If only they use back the lever...... anyway,your watch is good. which TD is this? Damn, his qc pictures should be used as an example for other TDs.
