Pics of my PAM111 Noob Edition

[bell]

Hey,

I know there is a lot of information on the Noob 111, and even an amazing write-up/pictorial comparing it to H-Maker and Gen, but I figured I throw up a few photos of mine for sh*ts and giggles.

I ordered it through Ms.King.

QC pic before it shipped:

Exactly 10 business days later I got this:

Which had this:

Nicely packaged.

After more bubble wrap, foam paper, and a ziplock bag I ventually I got to the watch:

My camera isn't the greatest, the flash made it very difficult to take a good pic and it seemed to capture a lot of little dust particles and finger prints that weren't really that visible... The watch really does look a LOT better in person.

That looks damn good and Connie is awesome!!

I'm obviously no where near as knowledgeable as many of the members here so I can't give a very accurate comparison to a gen since I don't have one.

My observations:

The polish on the stainless is mirror-finish.

The AR coating is almost colorless but in certain angles it gives off a slight drab green hue.

The leather strap was really stiff and probably the worst feature of this watch - But I was planning on getting a snake or reptile skin strap anyway.

The watch definitely exceeded my expectations in terms of feel, and apparent quality of build - It doesn't feel or look like a cheap watch at all.

Anyways, this was my first rep and will not be my last.

Thanks for all the information you guys have provided!

The finish will never match genuine but for we pay this is great and you have a nice rep there :-)

Very close model to the gen overall aspects and Connie is a good dealer to deal with!

There is really no point picking on it, it's a really nice rep and a best rep of 111 you can buy today anyway. Great choice for a first Panerai.
