Dear friends,

Since I wanted 111 with incabloc mod, I chased Joshua/PC for such option about 3 weeks ago. I wanted H-factory to install already modded movement which was in Joshua's offer but he replied this movement was from Kuvarsit and that would be difficult to manage. Anyway, he promised to talk about it with H-factory. Next day he replied it might be done somehow with H-factory alone and the release of 111 will be postponed due to this.

Few day ago photos of this new H-factory 111 with incabloc emerged on PC sit. The description mentions incabloc mod but photos were not showing it. I asked Joshua about it and he confirmed there is a mod despite wrong photos. I ordered and got these QCs:

I actually prefer the dial on this as most Noob dials have 'darker' shades on their Luminor Marina prints..

Very glad I held off on a PAM111 Noob V3 now. This looks very promising! Who is PC btw?

Has there been any indication that the movement will also be closer to gen than noob v3?

Supposedly it is. Will take detailed photos when I get it.

Thanks Polonus to offer this opportunity of knowing this rep

I would like to see the pics from 6 or 12 and from 3 and 9 to see the lug contours and the lug shape in order to make a comparison with Noob V3

I would also knowing your opinion about the sandwich dial and the inscriptions (fonts, raised and colour )

Thanks in advance

ALE

Thanks for sharing PolonusTM. Are you going to post the detailed photos here or on a new thread? I'm really wanting to get the pam111 but still not sure which maker. Thanks

ALE, I will take all needed photos when I get the watch. I sent several photos to Joshua explaining what is all the fuss with wrong incabloc but it was worthy :)

imo, case set should be better than the V3 but caseback wise, no no. movement should be around the same. more like, who has the better dial now, v3 or H?

About movement: it should be better in case of incabloc shape, that's what's all the fuss is about. The rest will need typical attention, like polishing of edges of spring and crown wheels etc.

Well you can request for the inca mod on noob 111 too. Anyway for me i rather have them fix the dial colour issue as the difference is pretty obvious when you have both gen and rep side by side. Imo, super reps should not have easily spotted flaws like this, especially on the dial. Another example would be the 312 where the dial print Is also wrongly coloured. I have held a gen 111 before and even under low light conditions, the luminor marina print has a nice creamy tone to it compared to the rep that instantly turns into a faded greenish tone.

Definitely, we will have to compare dials when this version will be in my hands. Probably we can find someone on this forum having access to gen 111 and then we can take photos with some grey card behind to be able to correctly perform color correction. We will see then. Sponge printing goes green might just be truth. For most(!) of the photos of gen taken from internet, where I was able to probably correctly repair color balance - the "LUMINOR MARINA" & "PANERAI" where rather light ivory than white or grey-white.
