Yep, I picked one up with mine. Looks awesome on my other two as well as the 737. It's a great strap

No problem - I might just sign up as a Pledge Member and list mine in the classifieds for a fairer price. A 30% price premium over list price is ridiculous.

If you're definitely going to move it on, go onto Facebook (assuming you're on there) and look up SGROC Trading Group. It's primarily Rolex but various high-end watches get listed there. My BLNR sold within two minutes. Literally, two minutes, I kid you not.

The market is obviously smaller but it's local and you can hand deliver as opposed to potentially faffing around with couriers, insurance, etc.

There are plenty of people in SG that have been sniffing after that piece. They still go into the boutique now asking for the 689 and 690 too.

Apparently the grey-dealers have an oversupply of pre-owned PAMs presently, so the demand for PAMs generally is very soft.

But thanks for the tip, I'll have a look at that! The demand for BLNR, Hulk et al is skyhigh, so not surprised by that!

For most PAMs, yes. Maybe different with the LE green and blue dials.

If you're looking for a pre-loved PAM it's a great time to buy

Some of this is obviously driven by geography as well. I can give you the name of multiple dealers which have a BLNR sitting in their case

The market for Panerai is extremely soft (SEs/LEs aside), which makes the used market even softer. This has been the case for three years now. This is great news if you are a buyer, especially if you are looking for an older SE or even a Pre-V or Pre-A model.

Demand for new SEs and LEs (esp if they are done right) will continue to be strong, with demand driven by the Risti. One should never pay retail for a ‘normal’ PAM anymore as the market is so soft right now. Again, this is great news if you are a buyer.
