What is the diference between PAM390 NooB and PAM 390 V6F

[Bozz]

ALE, thanks for the info. If you were buying a PAM 390 today, which would you buy?

Noob 390N near perfect in every detail. In order:

- Noob 390
- KW 390 (small flaw is the lug's holes position, not noticeable and it can be correct easily filing a bit the lugs base)
- HF 390 (thicker bezel like old PreV and PreA pammies)

Im more concerned about the lume color. The old h-fac 390's lume is some what orange in color. Too dark compared to gen. So who has the best dial now? Thanks.

I built some hybrids and compared the dials. HF dial is the best. You can find a comparo linked in the ALE guide.

Bozz, did you see the new hfact watches, sold by Supermirros? The case got an update, so I think that is the reason why we are asking. So you still would prefer the noob and KW?

 

[Bozz]

I bought some HF and got it on the old case set... new CG but old middle case. A mistery.
And yes, Noob 390 is the winner imho. The case set is very close to the gen, 99,9%. Near perfect.
You will find some thread and comparo.

ALE, thanks for the info. If you were buying a PAM 390 today, which would you buy?

Currently Noob is a sure value, it has a very well known case near perfect, and maybe it is the best one
We have not yet complete info about KW or H maker
I would buy Noob first, then KW and then H maker from the info we have. I agree with the info from Bozz

Maybe in the near future we will get very good comparisons from Bozz about this matter
Thanks to Bozz in advance

Thanks masters! I also built a hybrid using noob and h-fac parts. I agree that noob case is the best, best shape, crown guard is spot on, lever is very tight. But the h fac dial i have does not match the patina on the gen 390. I compared it side by side , it looks very different thats why im not comfortable wearing it. I was very happy wearing it until i saw the gen! Haha . Thanks!

I have the 390 Noob and had the H before, I can tell you that the v6f aka KW version despite it's superior accuracy when it comes to golden hands, Noob is the best out of all. Then again, that's for purists, for those who want to save a bit of money can always go for the v6f

Does anyone know if Noob, H fac, or V6f have the correct sausage dial lume structure for the 390?

All are very close but not perfect. HF dial is the winner.

Noob is the best. See ALE's case review.

V6F and H maker are also great - all super reps

Any news/differences between Noob and KW/V6F?

Is it right: Greatest difference between Noob and KW is the position of the lug holes?

What about the dial?

Is it worth the extra for the Noob?
