PAB 0 Posted June 10, 2012 Hi Guys, Very new to this forum, indeed my first post! Been looking for ages for a good quality PAM 111M but I have a couple of questions.. I have looked through various threads but cant seem to find the answers. Noob Factory versus H Factory? Automatic versus manual wind, reliability? Any particular Dealer you would recommend for this watch? I read 1 post & a dealer call Angus was mentioned? Any help would be gratefully received. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

onionbag 1 Posted June 10, 2012 Hello and welcome, as Jeff said take some time and do your homework, you'll reap the benefits. As for a dealer? Well torobravo has some expertise in this area, drop him an email, you'll find him in the Trusted Dealer section. As for movements, all PAM 111 are handwinds. I hope this helps.

dalboy 2 Posted June 10, 2012 Welcome to the forum, As said by Jeff and O/B do some reading , all you need to know is at your finger tips , just search. As for an Auto Pam 111 there are none just manual winds . Dealers good on these there are a few . Just stick to the T/D s section and you wont go wrong Dal..................

baxter 6 Posted June 10, 2012 Hi and welcome 1. Both are good but i believe the new Noob factory versions are the best with few or no mods needed ( i have the H version on its way as the N was unavailable when i ordered ) 2. All 111's are manual wind. ( I believe these movements are pretty reliable )- there is a pinned movement post on the forum somewhere but i cant find it so maybe someone else can point you in the right direction. 3. Any of the Td's should be able to help - send them an email with what you want and a picture and they'll tell you if it's available. A good start is to go to the trusty time or perfect clones website to do your research as they list most of the watches available with specifications. You can then pick your dealer ( look at the dealer feedback sections to give you some idea here) Hope this has been of help pointing you in the right direction but it's a big subject so the more reading the better in my experience.

Del 4,471 Posted June 10, 2012 Hello and welcome! As the others have said, the Noob factory 111N is generally accepted as the best available at the moment. I'd recommend that you do your homework and then contact one of our TDs - Marvellous Replica or Toro would be my recommendations for a newbie like yourself. Here's my Noob 111N btw.... http://www.rwgboard.com/board/index.php?showtopic=29764&hl=&fromsearch=1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 81 Posted June 10, 2012 Hi PAB Best quality around at the moment is the noobfactory 111n (not m). There are a few other alternatives (notably a very good budget alternative at around the $125 mark) but if you want the best, the n-factory one is it. All 111s are handwind - running a version of the asian 6497, which is one of the more reliable movements found in reps. The problem with all of the watches from the so-called 'noob factory' is that supply is rather restricted. You'll need to hunt around our dealers to find who can supply, and you may end up having to wait - I'd recommend starting with Marvellous Replica. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
