Umm, pardon my ignorance, but both crowns look the same to me.

What am I missing here?

Nothing ;-) ... that's how close the rep is ...

Yes you should be concerned because it is not allowed to post QC pics.

I must remove them
Sorry

The CG of a Noob seems better than the gen and the H maker CG seems the same

I'm so sorry, I didn't know that. Yes, please remove them. I also posted QC pics in the other thread I started, the 366 aka Fu thread. Please kindly delete those as well.

Again, my apologies for the violations.

No worries mate
That is not so serious
Just rules
Thanks for your understanding

Concerning pics in Fu thread. I see the Pics before but I have not removed them because it were interesting for info about this watch.
Interesting pics are always welcome.

Thanks

Don't forget this mod

I also want to have my 390 hand modded. Mine is just dont look sharp especially sides of hand.

Big question is who can supply the best hand?

Yes I tried contact David but he didnt give me a direct answer.

 

[well]

They finally arrived! Some crappy pics to get the ball rolling

One problem though: The crown guard of the Pam 390 doesn't have that solid "click" when you close the lever. The other 3 watches are fine, just the 390. Tried swapping crown guards but I learned the hard way that they're not 100% interchangeable.

Maybe a little tightening of the pin will do the trick? What can I do?

Thanks

That's the problem with the H CG. The floppy CG lever. I had the same thing with my H 360, the only fix I found to work was to add another O ring to the crown between the crown and the tube. This makes the lever tight but you need to be careful winding it as the crown will occasionally pop out to the time setting position.

I used Blu Tac to hold the lever on the CG.

I also ordered an H factory 005 and the lever is as tight the Noob 366's.

Sorry, but what is Blu Tac?

What I meant to say was "Blu Tack" , reusable adhesive....

Could anybody direct me to the link where I can DIY this?

It was just a quick fix as the CG lever was so loose and ocassionally popping out so I just hold it in place with Blu Tack, that's all. I was just being lazy to properly fix it. Sorry for the confusion.

No worries mate.

Any other suggestions how to fix the problem? Not totally sold on the blue tack and extra O ring fixes, was hoping for something more permanent

Have you already tightened the two fixation screws of the CG.
If not, try to tighten them appropriately and the lever working will improve... and you will not lose the screws!!.

Yep I already did. Even at its tightest (the screws I mean), the lever still doesn't have that satisfying click I get from the other reps I bought.
