{*PCTeam*} PAM 111 Noob V3 - Discussion, Compilation of data, Wristshots, QC pics
- Thread starter ALE7575
- Start date
Is is possible for you to take a macro pic of the movement and post here, Wiz is probably your best bet, he's in Europe, don't think we have any Uk based modders.

Please read the thread.
The purpose of this thread is to know what are the improvements included in the V3 "Officially" released on September 2012. Because nobody seems to know them as you can see.
When we know what are all real improvements of this "final" V3, if your watch have all of them it will be a V3.
I'm sure there are previous batches of PAM 111 N Noob fitted with all so-called improvements of this "final" or "Official" V3 launching. Yours could be one of them !!

I've taken loads of pics, but i'm having serious problems with photobucket Atm
icard: Just a few observations, I think the V3 upgrades is really just a marketing ploy, and tbh I can't really see any main differences between the last version (v2.5) and this current V3. The last Version V2.5 had kinda a mismatch of Pre V style hands/ better engraved cb serial no/ Nice sharp Cg inners, or none of the upgrades.
This current V3 does have:
1/ Pre V style hands
2/ Sharp Cg inners
3/ Deeper engraved Cb serial No
4/ Flush polished cannon pin
5/ Strap screws do seem a better fit, more flush
6/ Matching hands and dial superlume, certainally not as bright as the H-factory's lume
7/ Crystal optics is surprisingly very very good, correct single Ar as per gen.
8/ Nice engraved OFFICINE PANERAI on the movement plates.
9/ Roller ball more visable on Crown Guard lever.
Hell this Noob Pam 111 just get's better and better, and for a change the rep maker is going forward rather than the usual backwards as we know.
Sort the incabloc to a Y shape and swan neck, and we will have a TRUE SUPER REP:maty:
Will try and get things sorted with photobucket and post lots of pics. Snap em up whist you can, this baby is a winner..
More to follow

THANKS SHARRKEY
I think that the improvement list from Sharrkey is very complete.
If we have no modifications or new improvements, we could consider it as "official" and to include it in the PAM GUIDE
- Maybe we should include the correct position of "A" horizontal bar.
- And of course we should expressly indicate that there are no modifcations either in Swan Neck and screw, Incabloc or movement.
THOUGHTS ???

The pics are not the best possible but the watch is awesome
Even you are lucky and you have no gap in Swan Neck... LOL
The crystal position (raised) seems good too.
Congrats
ALE
yep, will be sure to put up some good SLR pix once i get it. Anything in particular that I should really focus on getting detailed pix of?

Wow sharrkey
Really good CG, crown, lever and Roller
Perfect Cannon Pin
Very good and clean engraving in movement bridge
Beautiful polished edges and nice C.d G. engraving in bridges.
Overall feeling of quality like gen
Bad Swan Neck and screw as always .... LOL
No talking about Incablock... LOL
I'm really impresed by the pics.
I think it would be worth if you could to make a separate thread pictorial and review, when all compilation of data is finished.

Thanks again for all the pics and updates Sharrkey! I'm refreshing the EMS/Canadapost tracking pages on a hourly basis

don't put too much stock into that... rarely accurate
Yes mate I'm very impressed by the latest version, still not happy with the quality of the pics, aiming to improve and as you say create a separate thread. Kinda hectic at work ATM so might take a few days, also considering hold off on further pics till I get my new iPhone 5 on Friday hoping the quality will be better with it.

Thanks mate, it Will be worth the wait:maty:
not the best pics but
i compared the movement to the macro pictures sharrkey put up and looks exactly the same. Possibly a screw not tight enough?
I can provide better pics over the weekend when i should have my iphone 5.
Thanks for your help guys.
