Hi all

I have been offered this watch from a family friend at a great price of £3000 considering its rare and in mint condition, it is number 390 out of limited edition of 2000. I tried it on and am slightly worried it is too big for my small wrist but it seemed okay. What do you think?

Looks good on your wrist

dr3ziz · 2 January 2013, 02:20 AM

i say it looks good on you
and don't miss a chance to own one of the best pam references !! as for the price do your homework and check current prices before you negotiate the trade

MCHI09 · 2 January 2013, 02:38 AM

Clearly a great series number for a 390...

ansharma · 2 January 2013, 03:13 AM

Thanks guys.

They seem to be fetching a premium now? Seems like to get a second hand one commands a higher price than an initial new purchase.

Milgauss J · 2 January 2013, 05:24 AM

It's a really beautiful reference. If the price is good for you and you like it, why not!

mfer · 2 January 2013, 05:51 AM

That is a stellar deal and the best number to have. 390/2000 on a Pam 390.

That is only $4900. They are going for $6000 used.

jay_kay · 2 January 2013, 06:22 AM

Bargain. Don't miss it. If you think it is too big I'll buy it ;-)

ansharma · 2 January 2013, 06:44 AM

Sorry a bit of a misunderstanding, it's actually 1160 out of 2000. I'm still itching to pull the trigger!

iLLGT2 · 2 January 2013, 06:45 AM

Go for it, a great piece and even better deal !

Still a great deal.

DiverAsia · 2 January 2013, 02:40 PM

That is a great price. My local shop has a new one for $6500

ansharma · 3 January 2013, 05:45 AM

Thanks for your comments all.

To be honest I'm still in 2 minds, £3000 is still plenty of money (although I know he is giving me a great price) - is this piece a must have? Its likely to be my only Panerai.

I already own 2 Rolexes (Sub and Datejust), 2 Omegas (1948 London Seamaster, vintage de ville), 2 Breitlings (colt automatic II, Chrono cockpit) and 2 Tags (Monaco, F1).

Decisions...decisions!

Milgauss J · 3 January 2013, 05:49 AM

It would be a great choice for your only Panerai. IMHO. Also, if you don't like it and want to sell it, then you probably won't be out too much money.

TAKUYA · 3 January 2013, 05:56 AM

i'd like to grab it in a heart beat.

Thanks. I would never sell it as it is a family friend who is selling it to me hence the great price. I would only sell it back to him if I were to sell it - I respect that he would like to keep it in the family and for me to make a profit on it would be wrong.

gregvisser · 3 January 2013, 04:47 PM

As said already, great watch at a great price. I'm not sure you will go wrong here. As for it being your only Pam: are you ok getting one sans a second hand? If so, pull the trigger.

jay_kay · 3 January 2013, 08:08 PM

Buy it and enjoy it. I know I enjoy mine a lot!

The tobacco dial is subtle the gold hands pop and with no seconds subdial its soo clean!

Do it!

Thats a great pic, makes me want one!

Will have to see if the finances allow and try and sweet talk the girlfriend!

GerardoG · 4 January 2013, 02:50 AM

Looks great!

ansharma · 9 January 2013, 08:20 AM

Decided to pull the trigger and am glad I did!

Firstly I would like to say big thank you to the seller, he gave me an amazing deal and I promise to look after it

Just a quick question, are the hands actually made out of gold?

It is a surprisingly comfortable watch considering its size - some pics to enjoy...
