Pam 028A that has the Finepics Datewheel and Sssurfer Cyclops. This is a beautiful Automatic PAM with PVD, strong crown guard, tight lever, the gorgeous hobnail dial, and runs perfectly. I believe this watch looked great out of the box, and is what got me into reps. I had my cousin pick it up for me when he was in Guang Zhou about a year and a half back.
With the date font and cyclops fix it is dead on.
How much is this thing worth?
The reason I ask is that I am going to Europe next month and could use the money. My girlfriend, whom I am going with, had my Omega Speedmaster polished, and serviced for my birthday. I have been wearing that as my daily, so no time for this piece.
Another reason I am thinking of selling is that I am faily certain my girlfriend will be getting me a Tag Huerer Monacco for Christmas. I purchased airfare and accomodations for the winter trip as her Christmas gift, but she asked about what dial color I liked just the other day. I would like money to be a non-issue when we are there, and a few hundred bucks really will help.

Re: Need a Community Opinion on the Value of a PAM 028A

this is worth a fortune...it's a rep that is no longer available...and with great mods...and just like you said...it's 99.99% perfect...I'd say that you could get from 600$ + for it if it is in mint condition...

I always wanted to get this one for myself...but right now the funds are limited, otherwise I would make you an offer...

Looks pretty good, right? I knew pics were going to be necessary at some point so I wore the 028 today, and borrowed a co-workers camera.

River sells the 027 for $695. I got my 028 for about $500. The datewheel was $90 (you can thank the weak dollar). And SSSurfer provided the custom cyclops and the install for $120. There are a few scratches. A relume, would make the watch better, but tritium should have aged to the point it is currently in. I think a crown would help too, but unless you can get a palp this one is pretty good.
I PVD job might also be required, but again PVD ages.
Well. If it does go on sale I will put it up in December. Thanks for all the kind words.

Agree with DadoG, $600+ sounds correct for the 28A in this config...although I'd say lower $600s rather than high.
cheers,

This is a varified Swiss ETA 2982 with Sodpro power reserve. SSSurfer did the mod and verified that it has the exact same movement as the gen.
