Thanks StormTrooper4 that is a really really helpful reply. I had assumed the 196 and 250 were the same but wanted to check that one wasn't made by a different factory. Great price as well so I think it's definitely the 250 for me then! I see from previous posts that you love our 196 and I am sure you wear it well! As ever some nice new shoes will be required as the straps are always poor but you're right when you say the saving will pretty much sort that. I also see they seem to be K serial numbers and I like not having the newest letter model for some reason so all good. As for the Chrono wobble I've had gens from panerai - non Chrono I must say that don't compare the some of my reps. So all swings and roundabouts. Hanks again.

Hello All This is likely as stupid a question as it sounds but the 196 gets a great write up as being one of the best reps out there and the pages at the TD i use (Andrew at Trusty Time who I have to say is always exceptional on the customer care front) - highlights this. I am more a fan of the brushed 250 case but the page for the latest rep of that isn't as glowing in its write up so I wanted to ask those that know - that being you! - if the 250 is an inferior rep for some reason or if it just isn't getting the love it's due? I am torn between the 326 and the 250 but if the 250 is as good as the 196 then I think that would be the way I would go. Any help really really appreciated. Thanks Damon

Hello all. I have pretty much decided that the latest addition is to be the pam 326 - although I would love to hear from anyone as to how gen like the blue dial is in real life? I understand that this may be classed as a super rep but again if any of you knowledgable chaps have any thoughts on that I am all ears. Been out of the game a little while and the itch has returned so there is bound to be a flurry of purchases forthcoming! But that aside I am interested to hear what current blue dial pam owners have decided to do strap wise. It's a given that the strap it comes with will have to go straight away but I'm not majorly keen on blue croc anyway so what do others think is a good look with the blue? I think a black croc/alli may be the way to go but am not certain yet. Any pics as ever would be great. I look forward to seeing what you've all done. Cheers

I'd definitely be in for a A7750 one if you do ever go that route.

Cheers Folex - I had tried to search but everything I put in made the flood control go into overdrive so your response is much appreciated. V6 did look better to my eyes apart from the lume but always good to ask the experts!!

Hi I'm new to Hublot and want to get a big bang black magic version 1 or evolution but there are so many versions available I'm really struggling to get to a point of buying as I can't work out which is best. The H fac ones are newer but also cheaper and I'm not sure whether they are as good as the previous daddies which I believe were V6 manufactured. If anyone can shed any light on what is the most accurate available I would be very appreciative. Also any info on why would be great if you have the time. Damon

Great pics bumroxas. 177 for me I think!

Little thikngs like that will drive you mad and most likely no one else will ever notice but it's got to be right! I'm sure you'll get it sorted!

What's the flaw on the Noob one then Noobinstein?

Thanks Mr Wilby - that is really useful info. Muchly appreciated!!

Thanks Storm. Appreciated. But taking aesthetics out (which I know are vital) do you think they are both equally good reps or does one stand above the other in terms of accuracy? Thanks

I've definitely decided that a titanium pam is for me! I had thought the 177 was going to be the one but the 240 is stealing a march. Has anyone here got any thought on which is the most accurate rep as this is key to me and more important than one having the date or basing auto. Butif both are equally good then the 240s extra features will likely push it over the line. Any info very much appreciated.

I'd love to see the pics of your noob noobinstein. I'm a bit torn because I have always used Trusty and he doesn't do Noobs one - so do I go dealer I know or brand i think is better? Look forward to those pics.

Thanks for your input here and ginaton your noob does look pretty special! It's so difficult to know which is best as this and the H fac ones both look pretty good to my eyes! But noob to tend to be better in general so perhaps this is the way to go for me! Cheers

I'm untested to know how good the 177 is and if there's two version from noob and H-fax or just the one. Any info appreciated. Thanks
