I don't want to make a new thread for this so hopefully someone here can help me.

I am really crushing on one of these 026K Noob models at the moment. I have stayed away from Pam's as I reckon my 6.75inch wrist is to small. But after lurking for a while in the Pam section I think I am ready to pull the trigger on this. My question is do you think this leather strap will fit my wrist, or should I go find a custom leather for my size? I like the look of the Brown Asso leather http://www.puretime.co/product/pam026-k-11-noob-best-edition-on-brown-asso-leather-strap/ or should I save the $20 on the rubber model and get a smaller leather built for it at a latter date?

:cheers:

You will get a standard 115/75 assolutamente rep strap with the PAM026K that you showed. The 115/75 is fine for wrists from 6.5 to 7.25 inches so it will fit your wrist just fine. Relatively, my 6.25" is a bit below that range so normally it will still be a bit too big for me and won't be usable unless I grow my arms or I just add another hole. :)

A custom leather strap is infinitely better but the rep Asso isn't bad at all compared to prior rep straps so if you like it, I suggest you get it. :)

Cheers mate, just the answer I wanted.

One more question, to the people that own this and wear it on your left arm, how bothersome is the crown? I did a search on here and found some rather negative remarks from some how it digs into their arm. I'm hoping it wont be that annoying as I'm ordering one tonight, haha.

I find the destro to be more comfortable in a way, all preferences really but I love them all...

I've owned the PAM026K and I have not found it any more inconvenient as the sinistro (or right handed) pams.

Ditto. Have an 026 and a 217. Prefer having the CG out of the way of my wrist!

Im really not sure which one to get between the H2 Model and V2 Noob.

Which one do you believe is more accurately colored to the gen?

Unfortunately experience says that colour in reps is hit and miss, then there is no absolute reply to your question

But colour is not the only thing to bear in mind in a rep, there are also case, bezel, crystal, dial, lume, movement, crown, hands, CP, caseback, finsh, quality of the coating...
You cannot buy a rep only for the colour

Apologies for bumping an old thread but can someone confirm this is indeed a 026K Noob v3?

http://puretime.watch/product/pam026-k-11-noob-best-edition-on-brown-asso-leather-strap/

I know these descriptions can be misleading but unfortunately the contact email for this TD is no longer listed.

There is no problem bumping old threads

The watch on the catalogue is a V3.
But the idea nowadays would be to get a V4 case as complete as possible.
We are now in a transition period and we cannot know what we will actually receive.
If you ask now a V3 most likely you will receive a V4 caseset, but with some parts of V3. You would need conform it by the QC pics

I just received my 026k noob from intime and I've noticed the crown guard a darker shade of black then the rest of the case and bezel. Is that how it's suppose to be or is the crown guard suppose to match the color of the bezel.
