What are your thoughts on PAM 390?

Is it worth the premium?

Will prices continue to go down? or will they go up after the price increase?

Is it a must have piece or just so so?

Cant decide if I want to pull the trigger or not.

Please help.

The 390 is a nice watch, I would grab one. They are an S.E. so I am sure they will go up in price at some point.

Do I think it'll go down....no
Do I think it'll skyrocket in price....no

Is it worth it at retail....very much so.

Is it worth it at market....still think so.

Also depends on what's the OP's market price...

market price would be 20-30% retail considering april price increase.

Also i have a pam111 which i would most likely have to sell. Is it still worth it or is it only worth it at retail? out of principle I just dont want to pull the trigger and then see it for cheaper only a month later.

IMHO..that's a fair markup...if history is any indicator..look at the 4XX boutique pieces..they are around the same markup after a year...

good luck..and its just my opinion...your mileage will vary

It is a very nice edition, somewhat silly that they made it SE IMO. I certainly wouldn't overpay for it.

I think it's fair to say that the price will hold steady-to-increase overtime given its SE status, similar to previous limited production PAM's, ie. 4XX, 232, 249, 127, etc....

I'd go a 390, only at the recommended retail, not the inflated desire/fad price.

Funny I have been thinking the same thing lately... Debating on grabbing the 390 or save some money and get a 111 now... I hate paying a premium for a watch to only sell/flip in the future and just lose that much more

If you can get one at retail, or a little above, absolutely..

Price's have come down a bit, there are still some people with their stratospheric prices and they are obviously sitting..

They will go up over time, or hold/retain, always over MSRP...

I personally bought two of them, one I put away and one to wear... Was between 372 and 390 and I chose the 390 which is obvious!
