mikellem Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I know Andrew has already shipped the H factory version, and Angus is do to ship the Noob Factory within about 10 days! Come on Pam Experts! Which one would you buy and why? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikellem Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Hey guys, Andrew just now lowered his price on the H factory Pam 243 to $298. Great price for the H factory... He also offers a choice of 2 rubber straps and 3 leather straps. (you can only pick one! Take a peak. I just ordered mine! It's a beauty!

poretl Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 that looks great. Especially with that rubber strap. How come they don't provide side by side images much like they did for a few of the other latest releases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torobravo Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 (edited) Now the H Factory 243 version price went down. Not sure yet but I am really curious about a side by side review. That new pearl looks good from the pics. Edited January 1, 2012 by torobravo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 From what I see in general Noob watches are more accurate, looks like they pay more attention to details. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikellem Posted January 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I think the dial is more accurate on the H factory and also the case dimensions supposedly are closer to gen.. Maybe that's good we have 2 factories on this watch... Then everyone can be happy! Happy New Year,,, MM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Not even a contest. The N factory is miles ahead of the H version. Don't even think about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingkaiser Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Not even a contest. The N factory is miles ahead of the H version. Don't even think about it. txcollector, how so? I saw pure times breakdown of the Nfac version but haven't seen anything similar for the hfac so cant compare. Sidebar: any of these factories doing the 305? I know that angus' factory is, but those guys are not as good as h and n factories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
txcollector Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 H factory issues: CP - that horrible old squared non flushed CP of the old ultimates - really? would it kill them to pay attention CG lever - tip incorrect Bezel markers - incorrect bevel Bezel - not flat enough For me the bezel on the H factory killed the watch. It doesn't have that gen feel. there are other small issues like the crystal thickness, cyclops, spring bars, HE valve. The H factory really dropped the ball in terms of paying attention to details. The N factory is doing laps around them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheers, Mike to be honest with the N-factory 243 coming at the same price I have no idea why anyone would buy the H one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Draven451 Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Where can one order the N00b version? Cheers and happy new year!

lfovco Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 I have noticed that CG levers on H reps are very incorrect on all or most of their reps. I would only get N watches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted January 1, 2012 Report Share Posted January 1, 2012 Not as impressed as I thought I'd be with this one. My old school 243 holds up pretty well to these outside of the position of the L Swiss Made L positioning on the dial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcrscom Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Angus now as a new option for the 243 to order the kevlar strap and get the rubber and velcro ones for free. Other than the sub stamping being a bit off, that package looks like the one to get! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
