Pam SS Bracelet Price

Does anyone know the retail price for the PAM SS Bracelets for a 44mm PAM? I believe there are two SS bracelets, the older version and the newer version. Thanks! I've been looking all over the internet but still can't find the MSRP for one, I know most people would say call the AD, but hey if you guys can help, then what's the big deal?

Told between 2 to 3,000 USD wanted an old style and told no way therefore ordered a new one with 6mo wait.

I was also told with the J models quick release the new bracelet does not require any adapters as with the old one.

I bought a 251 and thought i would just ad the old ss brushed bracelet. Told after I bought it they could not get me one. I would have to settle with the new style. After buying more than 15 PAMs in the past 6 months I would think that if there was any way to get an old bracelet they would get me one.

True I only started with the PAM recently, I bought my first K Series PAM 88, but I think it looks kind of bland with the Croc & Rubber strap. I got a long way to catch up to your collection, but i'm only 20 y/o so hopefully more PAMs in the future.

Funny,but I have never thuoght of buying a PAM with a metal bracelet.Nothing wrong with their bracelet,exceptionally well made and nice looking,but somehow a PAM and a leather strap looks so much more "right".Just my opinion.

True I share your sentiments, but I actually use my PAM everywhere, Sleep, Shower, Swimming. So even though the Croc strap looks 1 million times better than the rubber, it's not feasible for the conditions I put my watch through, so either it's the rubber strap or SS bracelet.

The first time I saw a PAM on SS bracelet was the TV show Life, on the pilot the main character was wearing it.

BTW - Gorgeous gold radiomir, 8 or 10 day? Can you post a big photo of it?

279 with Ti bracelet. I actually prefer the bracelet therefore put the most mileage on the 279. It may be blasphemy but I don't get the whole strap thing. I have a few but never change them. One problem with the steel bracelet is the weight. I really like the Ti.

You can find some pretty decent aftermarket SS bracelet for under $200.

The SS bracelet on a Panerai give the watch a unique look, in the way the bracelet and the case blend together. Very nice. And as mentioned there are some advantages of a SS bracelet over a leather strap.

I thought I would add my sentiments, although small.
