{*PCTeam*} PAM 111 Noob V3 - Discussion, Compilation of data, Wristshots, QC pics

[Klocklind123]

One thing that is not so nice is that the engraving ( not etched! ) serial number is a very nice upgrade BUT all the other engraving on the caseback on the noob 111N V3 is not as DEEPLY engraved as the earlier versions

How difficult can it be?

They make one improvement and then make another one less good.

I am really not sure if I like the engraved serial number more than the less engraved "rest of the caseback engraving"????

good crystal, good CG and crown, good lume, good engraving CB, great CP and great lugs!

Not so good is movement engraving (really dissapointed here!). High beat movement runs 40 h plus on full wind.

CP seems flattened and polished, that's right?

(rep) Strap sucks - changed immediately to my beloved BOB

Thanks for all your input PC Team - without all this information I would have kept my h-fac 111m. It´s now going on to sales btw.

Hi Co-ax, how many times did you monitor your time after a full wind.

I monitored mince once and it lasted for 58 hours. Just fully winded mine and going to test it for the second time.

Once, it was running after 43 or 44 hours, then i did not look anymore and went to bed. I guess, afik, that it should be running 50 with no problems

Kuvarsit case V1 (known as 360 V2)

The design of the case, the CG and the crown is very accurate.
The badblasting is right, the PVD coat is a bit darker than the gen, but the quality is good. Note: the crown is SLIM

The sapphire crystal comes without AR. Good to build a PreV or a PreA, but if you can change it, it's better. No longer made, you can find some NOS.

Wow co-ax it looks really good. Crystal, CG and CP are perfect
Strap a little disappointing, But yours looks awesome. Nice combo

And, sorry, yes, the movement engraving is not the best possible !!

I agree with you. The PCTeam is making a good job in this thread with the help of other very nice members.

Please dont tell me that I made the same mistake as last time ( check previous page in which I thought I bought a PAM111N V3 but wasnt it)

tell me what you think about this watch , it doesnt have the engraved #s on the back and no roller ball

 

[Rwolf]

That's strange! Maybe a V2. Do you are sure about the absence of the roller? Do you can open the lever to take a quick shot? Thanks

Really it seems that the #series is not engraved or at least is not deeply engraved. And the there is no roller lever

But the Swan Neck is a Noob for sure. OMG ! the dagger is completely free ! and the spring completely open and deformed !

I cant believe I made the same mistake twice.... this was advertised as the PAM111N V3 and I bought it due to it was in CONUS already... lets deal with this now

Thanks guys

PS.. its a beautiful watch and all , just that I dont want to spend money on something false advertised

 

[MarkTS]

It's also missing the Pre V style hands, certain ally not v3, in addition to the missing case back serial no engraving and visible roller on Cg lever as the op stated

Thanks Sharrkey

I bought it from a member . I told him about it and he will refund , he was sold it from another member as V3 , the guy is very well known here and I don't have a reason to not believe him...... But shipping back is $15 .... I will see if we can make a deal for one of the straps at least.

 

[Rwolf]

Looking with attention first and third pics I'm pretty sure the roller is here.
If you take a shot of the CG lever open we can look it better.
