Would like to seek some advice on Pams

[leeb]

Hi, I'm looking to buy a Panerai

040 Titanium
195 PVD
004 PVD
01a
000
360 PVD
288K
005

These are the models that I'm currently considering.

Would like a 21J , closed baseback, no seconds complication (base model).

Good case, superlumed hands and dial

Price below 150USD

Possible?

If not, I would like the most accurate model for the cheapest price point.

Sorry I might sound demanding but I'm on a budget.

thanks!

None of those models come with a 21J (which is an automatic) movement.

...and you're not going to get any one of those watches for less than $150, unless you buy it from an African male in midtown Manhattan or a Korean woman in Chinatown in lower Manhattan.

Sorry.

Bro, your budget of 150usd for any of those ya listed is rather tough, the closest gen-like models with lowest price points around 218usd are the latest few releases from Hublot Factory.

only way ya can get it for 150 is prolly when other members sell of theirs which are in a semi-poor condition, be it a faulty movt, losta scratches on the caseset or other issues.

well, whatever it maybe, i think the latest 005K is nice and you could consider getting thou its on a lowbeat movt.

You might scape by with some around 250. But not at 150. You get what you pay for essentially.

You realize that a bunch of those models are not base dials (one is even a chrono), but you say you want a base dial, right?

you're asking for too much watch for too little. save up some more money and you wont regret it.

You will need to spend a little more for a nice one.
If its a budget thing and want to spend less than $150 then go for a homage watch from getatwatch. Nice homage with a pam look for around $100.

remember your going to have to replace the rep strap for a nice one. A good strap alone will run between $50 - $110 and up.

just something to think about when looking for a pam.

Hmmm...let's see....

150$ - you 'may' get one of those watches - used.

You will probably want a better one once you have it in your hands and give it a critical look.

You will end up putting this one on sale - at a loss.

You will end up spending decent cash on a good rep.

You will end up spending even more on mods - maybe.

All in all, your initial 150$ will disappear sooner than you think.

Maybe as everyone is suggesting, wait a bit longer and then splash the dough on a decent rep from a trusted dealer.

Cheers..

You could get a nice homage at that price

 

[wat44]

agree with homage recommendation

Hmm ok.

I will save up. Which model is the most accurate from which dealer?
I've narrowed down to these models...

us$ 340.00/pc with asain 6497


000 Logo base Davidsen

005 Puretime Hublot Factory
US$ 218

When the 005 gets back in stock it is a very good model at a very good price. You can even wear it on the rubber without concern until you save up for a good strap. Reps straps on the other hand are GARBAGE.

Keep your eye on quality used straps for sale, occasionally you will find a steal. I can guarantee when you want a strap none will be posted.

Yes... the 005 will be the ultimate holiday watch! I'm already drooling just by looking at Asheron's pics.
