Topman5539 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Ive order a pam390 and when they have send me the QC photo, I spotted the differences of the genuine pam390 and the QC photo of noob pam390 they sent me. Genuine pam390 is more bold and thick compare to noob pam390. Kindly refer to all the font in genuine and noob pam390 Here is the photo ALE7575, please conclude this in pam user review.

indywatchguy Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 How's it compare to the H-factory version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
herng0326 Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I not sure indywatch. I saw Angus posted the pam390 noob is same like the genuine. But when I received the QC photo, i spotted the significant different. Maybe you can use the photo I attaché and compare with H-factory one:) cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atomic_doug Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 Topman, Hern, I think you're giving too much credit to the salesmen when they say, "Like Gen". Simply put: they're reps. If they were like gen, they'd be gen. More to the point, though, the sausage dial is one of those things that the factories have been struggling with for years. The sandwich dials (111, 127, 372, etc) and applied dials (like the Submersibles, 29M, the Chronographs, etc) are easier to get right than the sausage dials. The gens are made by cutting a channel into the dial and filling it with lume. It sounds simple, but as you can clearly see, it's a lot harder than it looks in terms of the width/depth of the channel, and filling it correctly (not too much, not too little.) The 390 is still a very good rep, though. I believe the H-factory's sausage dials are better than Noob's, but Noob's case and movement are better. You could always buy one of each and transplant the H's dial into the Noob and sell the leftover watch here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markiemark Posted August 14, 2013 Report Share Posted August 14, 2013 I dont get why they arent using the 111 case either... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormTooper4 Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 It's a smidgen of a difference at worst . From here It really looks like you are nit picking and looking for faults. I've said it before , the truth is the 390 Gen or Rep is a MEH!! watch at best , though everyone jumps on the super rep bandwagon, the watch is a minger regardless of the numeral font size micron gnats hair differences you want to see. It is OK to not like it , it is a gormless watch full stop . There is nothing wrong with the rep that isnt already wrong with the gen . LET IT GO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolli Posted September 5, 2014 Report Share Posted September 5, 2014 from D-serie and following series and some C-serie , panerai made thicker indices, the rep indices are too thin. regards rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike on a bike Posted December 28, 2014 Report Share Posted December 28, 2014 Topman do not get me wrong spotting these flaws is what we do ( good eye, thanks) but not buying or rejecting a watch in QC photos for reasons sited well read above.

Grimlocktime Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 (edited) Please also note that lighting and resolution will play with how thick the numbers appear. It looks like you are comparing a hi res image with a lower res image. The low res rep image appears thicker due to these issues.

replica_noob Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I would say that the biggest difference between the two is the price tag. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folex Posted January 1, 2015 Report Share Posted January 1, 2015 I would say that the biggest difference between the two is the price tag. Agreed. No one is going to call you out on a Noob 390. No rep is perfect, this comes very close, and the difference in the price tag really justifies this as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMC Posted January 15, 2015 Report Share Posted January 15, 2015 Nice catch!, Thanks for sharing. However I have to admit that I even like Noob thinner font best than so bold GEN, and for 300$, it's gonna be mine :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
