I notice at a TD that H-factory has two version of the Pam177 N.
Who knows what the improvements are with this updated version, is it worth it?

That version "updated" from H maker is dated April 2012. Then no new PAM 177 from H maker

IMO the best option case, CG , caseback, crystal, bezel and dial is Noob N-series (case V3). Maybe the only things better in H maker are Swan Neck (spring and screw) and the Crown "slim" instead of "Fat" in Noob.
Noob has already improved the crown to "slim" but is not yet included in all models.

IMO go to PAM 177 Noob N-series

I'm new on this fantastic forum and spend days and days reading.
Thanks also to ALE for his great info!

I've got a Noob 177N and are very happy with it.
Runs within 3 seconds in 24h, after adjusting it a little bit.
Very good Lume and clear sapphire.
Micrometric screw is too short, but hardly visable.
No Y shape incabloc but I think no rep 6497-2 has it.
Titanium will scratch more easily than stainless steel 111, but mine is very clean even after every day use for months.
Changed straps a lot and still OK.
Runs >48h after winding.
Took it apart for getting to know it :).
Love the titanium low weight for my small wrist.

Have no information about the H-factory but hope it helps you choose.

What did you expect from a case made of TITANIUM ?

Honesty didn't expect as much difference as it actually is. Caught me off guard I guess you could say

Much more comfortable to wear than the steel case. I've not had a 111, but my 177 is so much easier on the wrist than any large steel cased watch I've had.

You should wear a PAM 299 or a PAM 297 both with bracelet !! Or a PAM 187 !!
These really are heavy watches !!
