I've been reading over on RWI forum that few/none of the TDs have the Noob CrPO in stock right now. Some people have been receiving QC pics of "AT" or "L" maker CrPO's, which I think have a lower beat movement. Might want to ask the TD directly to confirm it's a Noob. If they do have it in stock I'd be interested to know which one you order from.

Cool thanks for the feedback indywatchguy.  That one looks awesome to me, especially the pearl.  Looks like it's gonna be the next watch in my collection too!

Does anyone know if these latest ones have reliable tube/crown assemblies that aren't stripping or breaking?

Ricca, I have a 42mm PO with a broken crown. I think I know the part you're talking about. It's a thin metal circle with 3 or 4 "teeth" bent upward and it sits between the body and the bezel right? If you're interested shoot me a PM and I'll send you a pic of the piece to make sure its what you need. I'll mail it to you if it is.

I have gone through 2 of the older 42mm POs with the painted numbers on the dial. One had crown break off in my hand, second one stripped the tube threads even though I was very gentle with it. I would love to get a new PO but not until I hear a concensus from the community that there is at least one version with a reliable crown/tube assembly.

I've learned a great deal from this thread, thanks everyone.  I'm considering this purchase and wondering if there's any news since the last post in May.  Also, is there a recommended/preferred TD for this watch model specifically?  Thanks again.

I have not looked into the others you mention but I recently purchased a suit from Bergie.  I can tell you that communication, service, and shipping were all very fast.  I actually had an issue with the fit of the suit I ordered and Bergie went above and beyond to rectify the issue.  From a service standpoint I can definitely recommend him.  I'm no expert but the quality of the suit seems good to me.  I'll be taking it to a tailor for slight alterations and will get their opinion as well.

Hey guys, is Puretime still the best pam359?

I've been looking for the best 359 for a couple months. I've seen several trusted dealers selling different versions but no recent reviews or posts here. Has anyone received a pam359 recently from a dealer they can recommend?

Thank you

Will
