cht Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 There is an amazing thread over at REPGEEK in their Panerai section by a member there, extremely comprehensive with awesome side by side pics. Worth registering just for that thread IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klockis Posted August 31, 2011 Report Share Posted August 31, 2011 Here is the review I did on RG and I might as well put it up here to --------------- I know You all seen picture of these two great reps, ToroBravo made a great side by side of them. But since I have them both I thought that I would compare the details that matter to me (and hopefully You) N = Noob (or AP ROO sec. @ 12 maker). H = Hublot maker AR: Both have great AR but I think the H have a little stronger AR. N have a slight blue hue to it when under a indoor light, the hue on the H is more colourless. Number cut-outs: The N seems to have slightly deeper numbers. Dial surface and printing: The N looks great under the sun! A more matte, slightly grey dial with structure and raised creamy printing. Lume: Both look great uncharged. The H have a little whiter uncharged lume while the N have a hint of grey. When charged under the sun for one minute both glows like crazy, but it looks like the N fades a little quicker. Crown: N have a thicker crown. Or maybe its not so bevelled. Crown guard: This was my main concern about the Noob. I love the H-factory CG. But after seeing a few CQ pics of different N 111 I found one that I’m really happy with. Maybe not as good fitting lever/body as the H but it’s a keeper. I was thinking to change the CG to a H but look at the pin for the rollerball on the Noob lever. Its almost invisible, and I think that’s just the way the looks like. (Experts correct me if I’m wrong.) That’s the main reason I’m keeping the Noob CG on. Strap notch: I’m no expert what to look for, but this is what it looks like. Movement: Well, this is like day and night. Noob, reliable platinum plated, engraved high-beat movement. Hublot, Crappy old low-beat with stickers (?). This is a no brainer.. Caseback: The engraving is deeper on the Noob. But I think the serial number have a better finish on the H. I read somewhere that the Noob have a sapphire CB while the Hublot have a mineral. Luggs: Again, I’m no expert what is more gen-like for a M series. But You can see the difference here. I forgot to take pics of the lugg screwbars, but they are great on both. Much improved over the 111J from the noob factory. Perfect flush on both sides. Seconds pin: The N have a incorrect white pin on the seconds hand while the H have a correct bare metal. Closing pictures is a comparison between the old Noob 111J (DLC in these pics) and the new Noob 111M for those who wants to know the difference between the old and new Noob. Final word: I’m keeping the Noob as my 111 and send the H-factory case to Avitt for some project 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PPN Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 @Klakis..Awesome review,thank you very much for taking the time. Mike +1 This is an amazing write up and pictorial. It seems that each has its strengths and weaknesses. Now it's even harder to pick which to go with! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lala Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 is the slightly blue AR on the noob a dead giveaway that it is not gen? awesome review btw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Klockis Posted September 1, 2011 Report Share Posted September 1, 2011 is the slightly blue AR on the noob a dead giveaway that it is not gen? awesome review btw No, its very subtle and can only be seen very weak in some indoor light. Its nothing like the blue rep AR we use to see on some old reps. On the H you can see some colour less hue and on the N there is a slight blue tone. I will see if I can post some pics tonoght.
