Would this be a good trade? Near mint Sub U-series from 1998 for a 3-year-old Pam 164?

thanks

Guess you guys think I am a troll?

If you like the sub better than your 164, than yes.
If you like your 164 better than the sub, than no.

If you prefer the 164 then yes it's a good trade. A lot of times people base their decision on money when satisfaction is the more important issue.

A J series 164 for a U series 14060 or 16610...nice deal for you especially if your Sub has not been serviced in the past 5 years. I would go for it!
The 164 is a popular PAM and very nice as an everyday watch.

Thanks for the responses.

Nicko, I was just concerned given the lack of response and because I am rather new here.

Theken, your answer was helpful.

Sounds like a great trade.

And you'll be happy by the sounds of it.

Go for it.

I would do it, but that's because I like a pam better than a sub.

I never replied b/c I don't have any input to really help you out. They are about the same value, maybe the 164 a little more, but depends on condition of both watches really.

The 164 doesn't speak to me, so if you were asking me...

dazzpowder · 22 September 2010, 06:35 PM

164 is kind of similar to my PAM 48 I always get coments on the PAM but never on the Sub - don't know wether this means anything to you.

heapstack · 23 September 2010, 05:26 AM

Same here. I always get comments on my 165, but never on my Sub.

stockae92 · 23 September 2010, 05:12 PM

If you ask the question in a Rolex forum, people will say keep the Sub

If you ask the question in a Panerai forum, people will say trade for the 164

But if you ask the question in a Panerai sub-forum under a Rolex forum ... LOL

For me, I would do the trade if you know the watch 164 is in good condition, good working order and authentic. Because Sub is much more common (a little too common :P ) and the PAM offers much more fun with changing straps that will never get you bored. :)
