Hmmmmm...Seems more grey, than brown. That would seem odd that it is a different dial? Any other opinion/suggestions?

Perhaps it is the crystal? If so, is there an easy fix? It is diving me nuts! Here are some additional pics...

Any comments are appreciated!

I purchased a Noob PAM111 v3, along with a Noob PAM005 not too long ago. To me, the dial color of the 111 is not pure black as the 005 and appears to be grayish. Does anyone know if this is the standard coloration, or have I got a lemon? On the Panerai web site, the 111 seems to be purer black, like the 005. Many thanks, Watch Guy

Pulled the trigger on a 312 and a 359...what the heck! With the QC pics with the 312, it appears to me that the lettering on the watch face appears to be darker, almost patina, however, perhaps it is the lighting. Mr. Doug, is this your observation, having seen the watch in person?

MrDoug, I just ordered a 312. Perhaps I should have waited until the next run. Do you have any knowledge if/when this may happen?

I see that Andrew is selling a new PAM312 for $20 less. I wonder if this and the models from other dealers are from Kuvarsit?

Thanks hidefguy. I see other dealers selling selling a similar version, so I was curious to know if they all came from the same factory.

I see that a new version of the PAM312 was recently launched that has a new movement and appears to have a better DW and lume. I understand that this is manufactured by a different factory from N or H. Does anyone know if all versions of this watch come from the same maker? From looking at the various dealer web sites, it appears to me that the CG lever tip is different? Perhaps it is just the angles of the picyures? Is there any knowledge of the N and H factories planning to release a similar version? I also see that an updated PAM359 with the same movement has been released. Has anyone seen this version in person? Many thanks! Watch Guy

I have both a croc and alligator 24mm strap with Pre V buckle from The Watch Boys. Highly recommended!

I lost a "release button" on my PAM312. Does anyone happen to know where to source a replacement? Many thanks...

Yikes, I just realized that I lost a "quick release plug" and spring from my PAM312. Does anyone know where to source replacement(s). Many thanks!

Thanks!

When winding my older PAM212 yesterday, the mechanism seemed to be "stiff". I encountered the same problem this morning and I noticed that the rotor on the movement now spins when I wind the watch, causing the stiffness when winding the watch. I believe that it is an H Factory 7750. Has anyone encountered this problem and is there an easy fix to this problem? All suggestions and comments are appreciated.

Good eye PeteM!

Looks like Andrew carries it... http://www.ttw168.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=9525

Based on my experience, Projectologist actually provided me with some independent advice on recommending another dealer, therefore, I do not think that this is the case. PeteM, any comments on the QC pics?

Thank you very much Projectologist!!!!

Well, here is yet another PAM 111 V3 from Puretime. These QC pics were sent to me despite repeated requests to refund my payment. I would appreciate your opinions on the following: The blue ink on "Officine Panerai". To me, it is not applied evenly. The length of the CG lever. To me, it appears longer than the PAM 111 V3? The inner radius of the CG. To me, they seem rounder than the PAM 111 V3? Perhaps he has tried to correct the blue paint defect himself? Is this possibly not a PAM 111 V3? Your thoughts/comments are greatly appreciated! Watch Guy

Perhaps this is a reject and the only one in stock...

To me, it looks like the same entire watch, save and except for the case back...

I requested a refund on my Visa. Do they normally do that?

I believe that is what he has done...

I agree Rolexman. This is my first dealings with a TD other than Andrew at Trusty. Andrew is amazing in comparison, however, he does not carry the Noob PAM 111 V3
