I bought it thru my friend, not boutique. Paid 7.2k for it (NIB). Anyone knows the price for a pam 219 now? Thanks

Saw one at Visiotime, immediately snapped up. Destros are extremely limited.

So u made your choice . Congrats on the 104 . it is the hybrid of the comtemporary functions & historic look of Paneari , IMO. 7.2k is quite a good price for a BNIB piece. Mind sharing with us where your friend got it from? local or overseas?

haha its like how u read the cup as half full or half empty. u should have stated cash transaction only

wa lau.. Half full or half empty ? ever since u started wearing that pam240 u become very chim lar... think the effect of titanium lar

2 different perceptions on the same subject-matter. Half full -optimistic that at least the cup is half full and maybe full soon.. Half empty -pessimistic in that the cup is already half empty and will be empty soon... Half full or half empty?? for me I think I'm "bua tang sai" (half bucket of faeces), everything half-half

Oi...! U knw how to read message or nt?? I meant "in cash" ONLY! Nt referring to te "$7.6k" la. I was trying to explain tat this shop accepts CASH only. No credit card, no instalment, no cheque!

hi

welcome to the forum . Pertaining to your question on the choice between Pam 112 or 104, I guessed you need to ask yourself 2 important questions. Firstly whether you need an automatic watch or are juz fine with one that requires winding like on every 2 days? once you have an answer to that, then the next most important question is whether the date feature on the watch is important to you. If you have answers to these 2 questions then the choice is obvious isn't it??

As for question on prices now, the Pam 104 is retailing around 7.4K to 7.8K while the Pam 112 is around 5.8K to 6.3K, both depending on where you buy it from. As for future prices and collectiblity, its anybody guess but the historic models like Pam 112 are typically the ones that sell for more after they are discontinued. If you really need to buy the Pam 112 then I suggest you go for the G series ones as they are with painted dials. Eventually, u need to buy what smile to you...

taurus has basically answered your qn..really depends on what you like. as for investment, you will not lose much on either pieces if you decide to let them go but don't hold your breath for them to go skywards.

Yea, hv asked at TwT n was quoted $7.6k in cash ONLY!

ONLY??? quickly go and buy la some PIs letting go at 7.5k brand new in box

[seb]

really depends on what u want bro - with or without date? auto or manual winding like what Taurus had said.

furthermore the price difference is about 2k. (112J going for 5.5k and 104 for 7.5k)

Panerai 112 or 104

Hi Taurus75, Andrew Tay and Oceanklassik, thanks for all yr valuable feedback. I am not into panerais as i tink they got too many models to remember. Tink u guys are right, ultimately its what are my needs and what appeals to me. I tink its better to assess first and not to buy on impulse. Very scared that my investment will go haywire as the price has really went up and no ones knows whether the bubble will burst or not. Regards.
