PAM 104 vs PAM 229
Hi Folks
My PAM 164 deal didn’t work out and now I’m back to the basics! Have 2 Panerais I’m looking at in the 4K to 4.5k range PAM 104 and PAM 229 The 104 only comes with the rubber strap and the 229 is the stainless steel strap...any preferences? Need to pull the trigger hopefully these will work out. |

The 299 is a 104 with a brushed case (like the 164) and bracelet. All other things being equal (age, condition, box, papers), one pays more for the 299 due to the bracelet, so do that if you love/“need” the bracelet, or if you don’t mind mind paying more in order to have the brushed case.

Certainly, I had bought the 104 but the piece was not good. Hopeful the 104 turns out to be a winner.

Good for you. I'm in the market for a PAM now and literally made a whole spreadsheet of every available model to date. Narrowed down what I was looking for and settled on having the 299 in my top 3. Now the waiting game on finding a deal...
