Probably the best rep of the 177...

[Spboudart]

The movement on my H factory 177M died on me (as many did)
I was lucky enough to buy from another member a movement, hands and dial from a 111N from the Noob factory.
The Noob factory dial has:
- a better texture,
- 'Luminor Marina Panerai' in the right Color and front.
The Noob factory movement has:
- engraved 'Officine Panerai' vs. printed on the H factory
- High beat
- more fiability

So let the pictures speak for themselves:

Oh! I forget to tell you, the other watch is my Gen 177N, but I'm sure it was easy to figure out which one is which...

... I put numbers for each pics if you wanted to play the guessing game.

The only bad side to this mod is the lume:

Before with H factory lume:

I didn't feel like changing the dial backplate....

Looks good. I did the same thing but kept the h factory backplate

 

[blizzard]

gen on 1right, 2left and on 4?

Nice, did you put Pre-V hands?

 

[COLDI]

No I didn't but the rumor is that h factory will start using them...so keep your eyes on the sales sections as some people might be parting them

I was too lasy to change backplate, so I don't think I'll do any more mod.
Did you have any problem with the movement tabs?
I had to double them, looks as if the Noob movement/dial was thinner than the H, maybe with a different backplate you didn't have the same inconvenient.

 

[COLDI]

I just used two total

 

[Spboudart]

With only 2 my movement was holding in place but still move a bit sideway.
I suppose the H backplate is just bit thicker.

wow .. this is very nice !

I'm not going to guess which is which I 'm too bad at this game ....

You have 2 gen in fact ... LOL ! lucky guy
