New special editions

I have stated in an early thread that there will be a new PAM 390 to be released. I have got a photo of what it will look alike today. 2,000 pieces will be available.

I have also noted of another new special edition, PAM 385, but unlikely able to secure one since there will only be 75 pieces to be released. It may be a local edition but I cannot tell which region that it will be released. DLC instead of PVD case which makes it interesting. Looks really good as well.

But the case is the standard one. The same as most of the basic model such as 000, 111, 112, etc. In the case of the 372, the case is bigger and thinner. Regardless, I think the 390 will look nice as it is simple and with a slightly darker lum colour.

Sorry for the bad quality photos which I used my blackberry to take them. Per my discussion with the dealer, the hands may be gold colour as well.

Will try to take a proper digital cam to take some photos of the picture this weekend when I visit the dealer again.

Hope that the watch will soon be here.

Anthony, the PAM 390 is based on OP calibre? If that is the case it should cost much less than the soon to be released PAM 372. Hmmm.............I still prefer the 372 :)

Yes, basic OP movement at 44mm therefore cannot compare with the 372.

Given its SE status we can probably expect a 2K markup, similar to the other SE's that cost 5.1K that are now selling in the 7K range.

x2--dial looks very similar to 372, and less than half the price! Granted different case, size, etc...

Can't believe Paneristi still hasn't been informed of this model yet or seen any posts on it!! Here on TRF, we were the first to know!!

Trying to strike up interests over there right now!!

I'm going to guess that the 390 will be more in the $6,000 to 7,000 range. The 000 is already at the $4500 USD retail range and OP knows how Paneristi go ga-ga over variations like this.

Either way, nice piece here.

Wow what a surprise on the 390! This looks like a major winner, though I can't help but think it will still a little bit of the 372's thunder.

if this is true I think the 372 will be a LE

I always thought it should be a LE (like the 127 , 232 ...)

This 390 could be a regular production and the 372 a LE
