d4v1d Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 PAM111 N Noob is the best model available. Only gen is better... Go for it. But it is out of stock atm.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbetts1790 Posted April 11, 2012 Report Share Posted April 11, 2012 Good choice! It's considered one of the best/most accurate reps right now. They should have them back in stock in the next few weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nomis Posted April 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 but they tell me to make the payment. and they do not tell me is it in stock. will they take my payment and not sending me the watch? or send me after 3-4weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanweekiat Posted April 12, 2012 Report Share Posted April 12, 2012 After you made payment, they will put you inside the queue. The supply now just cannot meet the demand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crezo Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 That's the exact same one I ordered a week ago, looks like we both may be next to each other in the que then too... let me know if yours arrives first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanView Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Gonna be a long wait with the recent crack downs. If you place an order, be patient. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irolexu Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 How about the pam with gen swiss movement? is that worth the extra 160??? I have been a rolex fan for awhile but I feel like possibly purchasing my first PAM rep...thinking the 111 is a good start? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanweekiat Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 How about the pam with gen swiss movement? is that worth the extra 160??? I have been a rolex fan for awhile but I feel like possibly purchasing my first PAM rep...thinking the 111 is a good start? Yes, the PAM111 is indeed the best Panerai Rep out of the box in my opinion. You won't go wrong with it! I won't recommend to upgrade to the swiss movement. Why? The swiss movement is only at 18,000vph. Whereas the asian one is 21,600vph (Same as gen ) $160 more!!! That's ~64% of the cost of the Asian movement. Use that money to get more straps (you will) or service the movement is wiser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crezo Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 I was thinking of going Swiss too, but everywhere seems to be out if stock. A lot of people recomend sticking with the Asian, as they seem to be very reliable compared to most other one movement, then if they die do a swap then. You can pick up a good ETA from a reputable dealer that hasn't been played with (ie straight from eta) for around £100 so would be better to wait till if you need it and swap it over then, at least from what I've learnt that's my plan anyway!! Got a response back from Anguses people today saying delay will be just over a week due to the recent crackdown for QC picks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nlnlnlnene Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 a week seems hopeful... i think people have been waiting for over a month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leology Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Same here, I ordered from Puretime and received an email yesterday saying that it would be a week... I ordered the model with rubber straps. Anyone know where I can send it it to get it oiled/serviced? Also, any suggestions on aftermarket straps?

crezo Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Straps, theres so many custom builders out there that are amazing, but check out some of these as they are some of the better prices I've found and offer some pretty unique stuff and some slightly cheaper pre configured options https://teddy-straps.3dcartstores.com/ http://www.combat-straps.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tanweekiat Posted April 21, 2012 Report Share Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) I recommend steveo straps. friendly chap and very good pricing for a really good quality custom strap. IIRC should be $40 incl. worldwide shipping http://www.steveostraps.com http://www.timetechtalk.com/forum60/ Edited April 21, 2012 by Tanweekiat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davyc Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I wouldn't hold my breathy for a Noob any time soon. I e-mailed Joshua yesterday asking about Noob availability and here's his reply: Hi, No idea... Maybe in 2 to 3 months.. This maker is in disarray now.. Many production problems now for them.. and quality is suspect these days. Thanks Joshua Perfect Clones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

torobravo Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 The 111 from the N factory just came out today, I will pick them up tomorrow, those who pre ordered from me the delivery will be hopefully for next week. Also waiting for the 243... The wait is a pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OceanView Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 I've just made a dispute. Why didn't you just ask for a refund? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerthat Posted April 27, 2012 Report Share Posted April 27, 2012 Dispute? What is wrong with you people You ordered a backordered watch. When a product is backordered the exact date they will come back available is always subject to change. If at any point you decided you could wait no longer, than why didn't you just request a refund becuase you do not want to wait any longer??? If a dealer refused a refund than that might be a different situation. For those not paying attention and just blindly ordering, Noob factory production is way backed up. Basically unless you pre-order it is next to impossible to get any of their new watches. They are producing less than they are selling right now. My guess is this is why Josh and Andrew are bad mouthing them lately and puching other factory offerings as they don't wish to sell backordered watches and deal with the added headaches of customers not willing to wait.
