Pam 384 anyone?

[Manofsteelpt]

I've recently stumbled across the Pam 384, what a beautiful looking watch! I'm very intrigued!
Does anyone have/had one that can tell me about it. The Good, the bad and the ugly...

Thanks all!

It is fairly thick for me. I think it is under valued as rads aren't as well loved. If you do get, do have it insured as the case replacement cost is ~11k if I recall. That is more than the 2nd market value.

IMHO, the fang PR looks out of place on Radiomirs (but totally fine on Luminors like the 233). Personally, for a ceramic Rad, I would take a 292 over a 384.

Did you mean the watch is "over" valued cuz they're not as well loved? How is Panerai ceramic?

The 292 was my 1st choice, till I saw the 384. I MUCH prefer a date function, and I do like the fang PR.

Are these hard to move when it's time to move on to the next piece? I'll admit, I'm a flipper... Thanks guys for chiming in!

I mean if you look as MSRP and secondary market there is a BIG gap. They do move slow, but anything priced right will move imho.

Oh, I'd def buy a preowned one. Are the cases prone to chip/crack? Thx
