But mine is not a complete set ley... too bad. But no regrets lah, I love the 22 to bits.

No lah, I also dunno what a PAM77 is... but there are so many PAM models that remain relatively unknown until one pops up in the collector's market on paneristi.

Slightly off the topic of destros... There is a school of thought which says that the early millesimation numbers (up to series "F") were shared across the generic models. If that is correct, then in the case of the "A" series Luminor Marina, the 1500 pieces would be shared amongst pams 1A, 3A and 4A.

I am speechless..those 4 watches are easily above S$70k now...if one has bought them when its released, thats like more than 250% profit....

Millesimation

You can always get a IWC BP anytime at a reasonable price. Price of the BP has not moved much over the years & is still in production. The 1A & 1BT are both out of production & god knows how many are T-dial are there (1A - 1500). I sold my BP 5004 to buy pam & has no regrets.

20 grand !!! Is this for REAL ??? Y so much? I'm also like some others who would be keen on Panerai but for the HARDCORE Paneraist . What are the plus point for the purchase of a 1A ??? 20G can get a IWC Big Pilot 7 Days Power Reserve. Am I comparing apples to oranges ???

Yeap, can't be more real than that.

One way to understand it is... Think Daytona 116520 vs Daytona 16520 Zenith Mk 1 when comparing a PAM111 to a PAM1A. Something along that line.

And yes, Comparing a PAM1A to a BP is indeed apples to oranges Both belong to different schools.

After the first Panerai purchase (commonly a PAM111 or PAM104), one will start to look towards the neo-vintages like the PAM1A/BT, and understand the value of Patina, not to mention also the likelihood of being sucked into it.

1A is around 19k? 1B is cheaper..? lol

Still learning to appreciate the patina

A general yardstick to share....


The difference in price between 'A' and 'B' T-Dial series (complete sets) is the price of a PAM0
