ALE7575 24 Posted August 18, 2014 (edited) Hi Natham Firstly, thanks for reading PAM GUIDE PAM 020 is a very good choice. Most likely is the most accurate rep PAM ever made All reps have flaws but when these flaws are the same for all reps of the same type we are avoiding the comments. We can say that PAM 029 Noob V2 has no specific flaws and for this reason you have no comments about the flaws. Of course PAM 029 has the same flaws of all reps with Luminor case 44mm. You can read the complete review about Luminor cases here: PAM Luminor 44mm CASE-SETS - Noob vs. KW vs. H maker - ALE-Klockis Review http://www.replica-watch.info/vb/showthread.php?t=150417 In RWG is: PAM Luminor 44mm CASE-SETS - Noob vs. KW vs. H maker - ALE-Klockis Review http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=56032&pid=932572&st=0entry932572 In this review you can see the Luminor cases are no perfect Rep crystal is not as clear as gen, and Cyclops has more distortion and more whitish (or frozen) halo than gen. Although PAM 029 Noob has one of the best Cyclops in reps. Crown guard is not as good finished as gen and the lever working is less smooth and much less consistent Caseback is not as deeply and nicely engraved Hands are not as sharp, defined and clean as gen Cannon pinion in rep is good but not as flat and well polished Lug screws are not so perfect in reps Dial of V2 is already almost perfect because V1 had a bit different fonts (that is the difference). Lume is very similar too but, usually, lasts less time than gen lume Of course the movement is not as reliable as gen (even the “Swiss” version) Anyway this rep is clearly over the average not only of PAMs but in relation with all rep market As commented in Pam GUIDE the Last ultimate version is Noob V2. Anyway dealers sold many time ago all stocks of V1 and you will get only V2 at this moment from dealers. Noob Rubber strap is almost like gen but you will need to buy a custom aftermarket strap to get the best of this nice watch For more info a more reps read again Pam GUIDE Good luck ALE Edited August 18, 2014 by ALE7575 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
