M4rtin 0 Posted August 28, 2013 (edited) Pam Virgin here, thinking I would add Pam to my collection. I'm not a strap guy and I see mostly Pam with straps in good quality. What's the word on SS bracelet for the models above ? I saw that 299 seems to be fairly cheap, but I think I like the face of 328 or 329 more. However I could not find if 328 or 329 were made by Noob Factory. Edited August 28, 2013 by M4rtin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ALE7575 24 Posted August 28, 2013 Nowadays you have from Noob: K-series - cheap an very good, really a bargain O-series - with cyclops improved and PAm 104 dial Both are Super replicas You have too PAM 297 O-series a Super rep too PAM 328 is in an inferior level (version V2 is the best choice). Better avoid PAM 329 ALE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tommylad 0 Posted August 28, 2013 Definitely 299. I'm going to get one soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nofitstate 27 Posted August 29, 2013 (edited) I've had the Noob 299k for about a month now and I'd buy another again tomorrow. The build quality is excellent and the time keeping has been spot on. Just make sure you get QC pics as mine had a text fault on the dial that would of been spotted at the QC pic stage. (it's now sorted as I did a dial swap that the TD supplied for me) Edited August 29, 2013 by nofitstate Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Any comments on differences? Thx in advance I didn't say I'd sold mine? Anyway I've been looking more closely at mine over the weekend and Though I was told it was a K, I now believe it's actually an O model. The K it would seem has the L SWISS MADE L split by the 6 marker, where as the N and O models have it running under the 6, like mine does. Also the serial number on the back on mine starts with an O. So I guess mine is an O Anyway if you like the look of the 299, get it. This thing is so well made. I run a machine workshop making parts for a lot of the F1 teams cars and have a real eye for details in engineered parts and even I'm impressed with the build quality of this. The bracelet is work of art and the whole watch has real look and feel of quality about it. This will be my daily watch and I feel that it's been made well enough to stand up to that. The time keeping has been perfect, I've not timed it to the second, but I've also not needed to adjust it either. Also the power reserve is excellent. I wore my 372 for about 36 hours over the weekend and when I came back to the 299 it was still running and hadn't lost or gained any time. Hope this helps.

ALE7575 24 Posted September 3, 2013 I agree with nofitstate The manufacture quality of PAM 299 Noob either K or O is awesome I bought it for collection purposes since it has bracelet , but I was impressed when I received mine and I worn it with pleasure. It is actually a true Super rep ALE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeanius 0 Posted September 3, 2013 Yea just wanted to see if anyone had input on the thinner numbers on dial on the O Series. Which looks exactly like the 299s on the Panerai site. (Maybe they updated the dial and made it thinner this year?) but have yet to see a real life pic of a gen 299 O with thin numerals Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALE7575 24 Posted September 3, 2013 Look the pics of PAM 104 O-series from Noob and gen. They have the same dial ALE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
M4rtin 0 Posted September 22, 2013 Finally my 299 came in the mail from Sead. I don't think it's 299K as the lettering is under 6 and not split on both sides of it. Watch is so sexy :P Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Watch is so sexy :P Read the caseback engravings of fabrication number. The letter of year must be there If you wanted a Noob you should get a Noob K-series or Noob O-series not a H maker N-series Just my thoughts ALE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
