Which one would you all get? I am thinking the 417 because of the closed case back. I'm open to other suggestions. I do have an 005 already :)

I've had the 111N before, but sold it. Only thing I hate about it is seeing the movement. It screams rep. Thus why I was thinking the 417. Or maybe get a 390 (again) and case it in a 111N v3 case?

Hi COLDI

Old PAM fans (like ourselves) are already a little boring with PAM 111-PAM 111-PAM 111.... and so...

You should make some changes.

As you know PAM 390 is awesome even with H maker case (bezel looks impressive)

Concerning Boutiques I don't know in person but seem very similar to 390.
Nowadays Kuvarsit is making and introducing a new series of Boutiques with a completely new caseset, gen like crystal and the same movement as Noob. PAM 417 is already started. You can see the pics in specific threads about this watch. It looks really good.
I'm going to receive a sample from Kuvarsit in some days in order to make a complete review, If you want I could ship it to you after the review to check if you like it. If you don't like it you will return to me if you like it...as you want... no worries.

Besides, since Kuvarsit is introducing a new series of Luminor watches, we should expect some improvements at the near future in Noob and H maker productions on big sales watches like 111. Better waiting for purchases of PAM111

Just my thoughs

A PAM is the one watch that is on my list.
But every one has a 111n. So the 417h or the 390 would be one of my choices.I like the GMTs to or a nice RAD to franken would be nice.

With a tag like yours (Modded PAM junkie) why on earth would you buy a super rep? there won't be nothing left to mod ;)
I'd say go for 000 or 390

Among the two I'd pick the 417. But wait for the verdict on the version that Kuvarsit just released (you can also get it from hont). ALE and Klockis will publish their findings after they've received the samples. :)

Between those two I'd hands down pick the 417.

I heard KV is coming out with a 390 though....so I'd personally (and I am) waiting for that.

edit: Also, *high-five* for the 005

Isn't KV also coming out with a new 005?

I'd take the 417 too. Really dig the dial logo.

I'd wait for Ale to review the KV boutiques special before deciding. That's exactly what I'm doing. IMO the dial seems pretty intricate with the "imprinted" dial and pig design, easy to mess up if not executed correctly.
