Those are good matters to discuss

Sausage dial: You would need to bear in mind that 390 sausage dial is a bit different from 000 and 005 sausage dials. 390 dial has more flat lume application than 000 and 005. We can say that 390 dial is more like printed and with less obvious cavities. In this regard Noob and new H maker could be almost the same and accurate enough. Obviously new H maker 000 sausage dial is almost perfect and much more accurate than V2.5 Noob

Regarding the case the main problem of current H maker is the inconsistency of the cases, there are perfect cases and wrong cases with old and new parts mixed in the current batches. Noob PAM 390 case is very good and very consistent

ALE

If that's the case, in theory shouldn't we just wait until the Noob 390 cases are transferred over to the 000 and 005? That way it would be good and consistent compared to Hfac?

390 v4 case has been out for so long but we are yet to see them using it on other models. Even the fat crown are still being used up to today. I think this wait is a long one lol

Just a few comments, I realize many here are obsessed with the bezel, I have seen recent noob 390 with identical bezel to the new h fac, both is recent qc and in a sale thread here by a respected member. I think it's blown out of proportion.
Secondly, h fac 390 new dial has virtually identical lume application to gen, quite impressive really. And since we are on the topic, the Boutique lume application has been perfected from h fac as well.
My new h fac 390 and 417 compared to gen 411 and 390.

Thanks.

Noob AFAIK has not changed the dials of 000 and 005, then although Noob changes the case of PAM 000 and 005, they will have inaccurate dial.
It is not the same with PAM 390 because the lume application is more flat and similar to Noob and last H maker. Therefore for PAM 390 you could get a Noob without problems, but ALWAYS assuring you are getting a last case and with slim crown (there are stil some "old" versions in the market)

I received my Hfac 000 and wanted to give a word of advice. Don't go for the rubber strap. Mine smells like a cigar smoker stored it in his armpit for a year. It's atrocious. I have it sitting in a jar of lemon juice overnight in the hopes that makes it tolerable.

Well, I already ordered mine on Rubber.
However bad it is, I don't think it's as bad as the cat leather "Assolutamente" HF offers...

Mine smelled the same; I thought it smelled like stale cigarette smoke. I soaked it cologne, sprayed it with febreeze, and soaked it in hot water. Now it smells like cologne, febreeze, & stale cigarettes.

Mine now smells like the dump, where it permanently resides.

What difference has this Pam with Pam 000 from Noob ?

Normally the noob Steel´s is better than H Factory.

to the fellas that ordered the Pam 000 from sead1999. I messaged him on here. a few minutes from posting this. Is he still taking orders? Did he message you back with an email to set up payment and shipping etc... I guess I am asking how did it all work? I have been searching the forums and found this to be a really great positive informing site on the Pam than any other. Thank you guys in advance. -Caleb

^ dial looks like it doesn't have the cavities shown on earlier pics by other members.. Is this a marketing scheme from h fac lol. Placing nice dials on a few watches then trick us in the fiasco or they are simply recycling parts including dials.

The trick is in the camera, not the watch.
Just my humble opinion ;)
