PAM177 [HWF]

[shinynewbling25]

I'm pretty satisfied with the case finishing. There's always that problem area right above the lugs. VSF has that issue too, at least on the stainless 44mm subs I've seen and handled. The case is acceptable to me and I think the finish looks good overall. These are a pretty decent price to me as well.

Oh, and just for comparison here's an old noob 299 case. I imagine it would be the same in titanium if I had one to compare. Similar above the lugs weirdness and these pics are all zoomed in so much less noticeable in real life. I'm satisfied with the HWF 177 though.

Did they just quietly fixed the lettering color from white to a beige off white? They could’ve fixed the large cutouts while at it.

This is my new HWF 177 received just yesterday, compared with my old Noob 111M (should be a V2).

I can't see huge difference in cutout width. Possibly Noob has deeper cuts though, casting a bigger shadow.

Overall the HWF has an acceptable quality IMHO.

hello everybody
I just received some pics. I know that the cut out in the hwf is slightly thicker, but here the numbers (especially the 3 and 6) are much fatter.., especially compared to the your rep..
the writing now from white to the correct tonality..

I will not accept this one.. Am I too picky?

What's wrong with it? The marker thickness? I don't think they look different from the others posted here which is a known issue and you probably will be told they're all like that which they most likely will be. I would take that one.

These two HWF do not look with the same thickness

Cool! The wait begins. I like when I wait for a watch. That mixed feeling of anticipation and fear...

Got QC yesterday (actually there are more videosthan pics which is superb). Already approved. Watch comes with leather and rubber straps

 

[montanari]

Your number thickness are much better than the pics I received
Where did you get that (even in pm)

 

[montanari]

I changed the 177 for a vsf. That is fine
But If I received a QC like yours I would have been very happy because the Bettarini case in titanium and with simple dial is my favourite .
I still look at the 3 number of the QC I posted above and still bother me!!

Got it from Andiot -a TD here ( details via PM)

Hi all,

First time buyer and newbie on the site, Love this Panerai.... all your comments and pics have been really helpful, I'm going to take the plunge on one of these from Puretime today..

I'll post QC shots if anyones interested once recieved.. ?

Cheers.

 

[montanari]

Yes please

Got mine today, two weeks from China to Austria

I am impressed, can only compare to my VSF PAM683, but anyway if titanium is lighter the watch is not having that "heawy quality" feeling
Put it on GEN pan leather. 17,5 cm wrist size.
Fisheye is not so bad.
