Pam 735, 736, 737

I have the opportunity to buy any of these at MSRP. I like them but already have a green watch (Rolex Hulk) and am debating how much I can really wear a green watch. (If they made a 47MM in 1950s case with no complication I'd jump on it...basically a green 372 /drool)

Whats everyone's thoughts on these? Could I always sell it and get my money back? Is the value of these holding up? Since I have a short window to decide I want to know what my options are if I change my mind after purchasing.

My personal (and biased) preference is for the 737 due to size, weight and functions.

Having said that, it'll have to be a purely aesthetic decision for you, since the non-limited (and functionally identical) models like the 311 and 317 (in different materials) can be purchased for much lower than MSRP, representing a much better price/value quotient.

Depends if you prefer Luminors or Radiomir variants and then if you like the green dials or not.

I’m also biased towards the 737. I have a single digit serial mode from the OP boutique in Singapore and absolutely love it. I also have a Sub LVc and each get their fare share of wrist time. The shades of green are completely different so the two can happily exist in any collection.

As for making money on it, depends on the market if/when you decide to sell. There’s been one for sale on Chrono24 for a few months or so and it’s located her in Singapore for a few grand over retail. Considering it’s one of only 200 pieces, the price is fair and I’m surprised it hasn’t gone.

If you want to wear one, buy it. I’d you're hoping to make a quick buck then I’d think carefully.
