mjmj Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Is the V3 from the Noob Factory? I thought it was from another factory.?.. It does surpass the H factory in build quality IMO and is worth the extra $130.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraggle42 Posted November 18, 2013 Report Share Posted November 18, 2013 Sorry guys, but I'm still not sure where to get the noob or h factory. Is noob puretime or trusty? Thanks! I *think* PureTime is selling the Noob version, as it mentions V3. Not checked out Trustys site for it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

panerai153 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 Just a touch off the subject, but does anyone have a plausible reason as to why AP uses a relatively slow beat movement, when the trend for years has been a movement toward faster beat movements? 28800 seems to be the norm, with some movements at around 33000. Sort of looks like a step back in time. I know that they use their own in house movements, but it seems like it would be just as easy to build a fast beat.

This gets invovled in another subject about the stability, slow beat movement is more stable than higher beat movement, whereas hand goes smoother for higher beat movement. and also AP values more about other aspects of movement like polishing or materials used, the beat maybe is not the priority...

folex Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 and.. what are you waiting for Mr. J? Time for one on your wrist, you think? A Gotta see one on ur wrist first Afterall, it'd be rude to surpass the AP master. hehe to OP: Would you mind posting clearer pictures of the inner bezel? I think it would be helpful in also determining which is more accurate? Thanks in advance Chrono! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it would be helpful in also determining which is more accurate? Thanks in advance Chrono! Actually, I think that you have long surpassed me in your knowledge, having seen you flit from one AP thread to another, and your postings. You already know what to look out for, for each specific model, like you asking for the inner bezel pics on this one.. I would not be getting one Mr J, simply because I don't like yellow.. Else you could bet your last watch that I would have bought this when it was first released. Good luck, and I think its a watch that you would truly like!

Chrononna Posted November 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 certainly, posting two pics of each for better obeservation! the ZF: and the h factory: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker01 Posted November 19, 2013 Report Share Posted November 19, 2013 The lume on the H is slightly yellowish.....not good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
folex Posted November 20, 2013 Report Share Posted November 20, 2013 (edited) The lume on the H is slightly yellowish.....not good. +1 PS. Thanks for the picts Chrono, but i think you missed the zoom on the H factory, alittle blurry to see the details. The bezel markers are quite well made I'd have to say. @ Mr.A, for an AP we could be colorblind =D, the model and design on the CF could overwhelm the yellow, or did i mean your preferred color, orange? =D Edited November 20, 2013 by folex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both of the two watches are returned now, the pic are taken a while before when I have them... do not realize take a macro pic of the inner bezel though...

Chrononna Posted November 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 21, 2013 oh, I must constrain any impulse of buying watch again unless I sell out some of my watches, then I have spare money for my next one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
