V3 with modded Y Incabloc and ugly bridges engravings
I agree the price could be OK
What is not acceptable is selling it like a V4 misleading people

This is V4 QC Pics. I ordered a V3 from TS on 12/31 (after reading Tehsoul2 post and Pam Guide by Ale), and they told me about a V4 in a separate email. I originally wanted a V3 but decided on a V4. See below for the QC Pics and let me know what you guys think. Thanks RWI members! This will be my first rep. I am a neophyte when it comes to rep. and have learn great info from this community.
Here's mine from TS: http://imgur.com/a/b5QDV
ordered it december 10th, and they didn't mention anything about v4 at that time.
I'm not experienced enough to say anything meaningful about this being a v3 or "v4" (this is my first ever rep) but would love to hear any feedback

It would be great if you could take a close up of the logo engraving on the movement, the crown, as well as the part where the lug attaches to the main body. Those, as far as I know, are the biggest inconsistencies so far for this so-called "V4"..
Micro screw is not screwed in at all from the picture above...You might want to fix that be fore it fells out and damage the gears or balance.
They provided the photos I posted. I can post more photos, a better close up one, upon receiving the watch. But do you see any potential issue I should be concern with? Thanks.
That's the thing.. I think it's harder to look for potential issues unless certain angles and close up shots are provided. =)
But definitely get that micro screw fixed though.. It's really not screwed in properly..

Hey guys, I too ordered the Noob V4 Pam111 from TS that's on sale for $200 now, and these are the QC pics I've received. So far, it's looking practically the same as the V3 to me, which I don't think is a bad thing since the V3 is already a super rep. I'm asking for close up photos of the "12" as the minute hand is blocking it, as well as a close up of the lug contours to check if it's the new V4 case. What do you guys think? Anything else I should look out for?

In relation with blacke and Jiterator QC pics I have the comments as follows:
Blacke:
Crown is FAT V3
Case is V3
Crystal, cannot be seen by the pics but seems V3 with wider bevelled
Wrong CG lever, just like V3
OFFICINE PANERAI engraving seems thin and OK
Rep modified Y-Incabloc. Not as nicely modified as in previous reps like PAM 127
Jiterator
Crown is FAT V3
Case is V3 (maybe a bit better than blacke’s one, but never V4)
Crystal is a clear V3 with wider bevelled
Wrong CG lever, just like V3
OFFICINE PANERAI engraving seems just a bit thicker than correct
Rep modified Y-Incabloc. Not as nicely modified as in previous reps like PAM 127
Therefore nothing new about these so-called “V4” offers:
-Fat V3 Crown
-V3 cases or transition cases
-OP engravings are very variable
-Crystal: sometimes V3 and sometimes V4
-OFFICINE PANERAI engravings very inconsistent, from Ok to really thickerand bad
-Always rep modified Y-incablock, nicely modified but not always with the same quality (few noticeable)

Gen crystal has narrower bevelled than Noob V3 (Noob V3 crystal bevelled was clearly wider)
New Noob V4 Crystals have narrow bevelled like gen (KW and H maker crystals had already previously narrow bevelled)
Few noticeable under nuked eye

We are not saying it doesn't look great, indeed it continues being a Super rep and besides has a nice modded Y Incabloc. Even the price in some dealers is really good
What we don't like is that dealers say they are selling a Noob V4.
And THIS IS NOT AT ALL THE TRUTH
