Some shots of the latest upgraded H-fact 000 - [ QC Pics allowed ]

[nicktan182]

yupp for the price it's really a super rep imho. truly an amazing rep and by far the best 000 I've seen and owned. great job h-fact! now to decide whether or not to get the h fact upgraded 390 and 417. to the experts, do you reckon with this new case, the hfact 390 would give the excellent Noob 390 a run for its money?

 

[nicktan182]

Where do i get this badboy? Is it 44mm?

yes it's 44mm, and im pretty sure any TD can get it for you. I got mine from Sead (supermirrors)

The case looks very clean and good. Too bad i don't like the 000 dial with the Panerai logo.
But I'm looking forward to new reps with that case.

Nice looking PAM000.

I just can't see spending 4k+ for the Gen when this is only $199!
The Gen owner would say....

Big question mate. HF dial is better imho, but I prefer the Noob 390 caseset. I compared it with a gen, it's near perfect in every detail.

This look really good! Now I have to wait for the Pam111 to be available. Noob V3 can say bye bye soon...

 

[ebzen02]

The 111 is also available

The 111 is also available

But we woud need to confirm the quality of the sandwich dial and inscriptions. Noob sandwich dial is almost perfect !!

This is a great and educational thread REP POINTS for OP!

I have not had opprotunity of a rep cases comparison. I know them just by the pics

They all seems almost the same if not the same.

Maybe bezel is different but the mid-case looks the same, at least regarding quality of finish and appearance

I cannot agree more Q

You should also see the quality of the CG and the accuracy of the lever (tip, pin and roller support)

Really nice

The bezel height becomes almost irrelevant when 99.9%(not including movement) of the watch is identical to gen. If it bothers you just change the bezel with a noob bezel... I would recommend OCD medication though

You will not be called out with this watch I assure you that.. this is just getting scary good when all you have to go by is .1 mm difference in bezel height.

Indeed there seems to be not much to say except amazing about this rep, and the price must be taken into consideration when we a have a CG apparently on par with noob, a case also on par, a dial that's quite clearly better than noob and such an overall good looking finish.
I will order one for sure

That said I heard some of the released models had a not so good CG fitment, this could be something to look for in your QCs...

I am intrigued by ALE's theory about the various rep makers using the same case, and to a degree I was thinking the same, but from these pics the lugs seem to be joining the case at a higher height than KW cases.
Anyway the difference (IF there really is one) is so miniscule that we can simply enjoy these great release and leave the comparison for later, with a kw and a H side by side.

 

[ALE7575]

Please see the new KW case here:
http://forum.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php/210592-PAM411-KW?p=2132970#post-2132970

The mid-case seems the same or almost the same,but maybe the bezel is more accurate in KW version

ALE

 

[ebzen02]

These pics are shot farther away maybe giving the illusion of being thinner..no?
Either way it's damn good for us.. kw are solid as well.. it's a matter of choice I guess and price.

Of course it is JUST a "risky" theory and without data enough to confirm it.
YES, I had seen that the H case in above pics seems to have the lugs closer to the cushion edge, but maybe it is a batch problem, because the H maker reps from Trusty Time catalogue have the lugs more detached:

I can hardly wait to read a comparative review between the new hfac and the noob 390.
Anyway it's quite impressive what a quality the chinese can produce for 200 bucks.

 

[porsche356]

Dial looks pretty good!
Shame the AR is so blue though...some of the gens look like that but the newer ones are colorless...
