Josh also has the "V2" now but the movement plate fitment is pretty bad in the pic...

Okay so is there defiantly 2 different versions of this or do some just have a gold canon pin and some silver? I don't get how 2 versions of the same model drop at the same time...
I am interested in buying one especially at this price point but unsure which "version" to go after.

My biggest issue is with the movement it's the same movement found on the 375 a cheap A6497 dressed up with glued on plates. All good until one of the plates falls off. Beyond that it is a beautiful watch and the case is fantastic. But unfortunately it falls short because of the movement, but that is just me again I am a movement junkie!!!!
I love the case the most.The questions is, should one wait for the updated version.The wait might be very long,so I'm in for this one.
Also Noob has yet to release their 372.
the big tell on this 372 that it wasn't the Noob release was the pricing, Angus already mentioned that its from another maker that also used a gen as reference ( but Guy in charge of CP was color blind lol!) but is priced as entry level. I suspect the noob will be priced above $300
I couldn't find price for the Hfac version but I did notice that Hfac movement did not have blued screws.
I would be surprised if we ended up with 4 different versions of the 372
1. new maker, as of yet un named, on PT site
2. Hfac on Josh site
3. rumored upcoming Noob release
4 KV version possible?

Marlin does amazing work, improving movements that are fairly accurate OTB further to the point that they are gen-like as he has demonstrated with the manual wind PAMs like the PAM127, PAM217 and PAM111. But so far, Marlin does not improve reps of in-house movements like the P9000 and the P3000.
As to the version question, your guess is as good as anyone's. It becomes an issue of diminishing rate of return, where the makers are comfortable of investing money to improve reps that are nearing 1:1 replication.
Case set is good as the pics show , but the movement is still my pain in ass .
Install the 6497 ?
Or install another beautiful movement ?
Damn !

Better pics of Angus' 372 on Ryan's InTime.
I'm torn again between both versions. I like case lugs engraving on Angus' while the dial, CP and movement on H fact's. :facepalm:

What did you mean? To me Angus' 372 engraving between the lugs looks better than H fact's based on the pics.
I think the h is the winner here. Josh does not photograph his watches well and I think based on what I've seen it will be strong.
But as always, its a personal choice.
