What to do? its from an AD, new, sticker price.

a lot of cash, but a BEAUTIFUL watch (i played with a demo a few years ago).

not sure i'll ever get this chance again.....

That is a beautiful watch and not many were made, love the blacked out movement. I say go for it!

If you love it, then GO FOR IT! I wouldn't buy simply based on the fact that you think you can or can't get the chance down the road. There are few PAM's (mainly vintage) that I can think of that are incredibly hard to come by.

if its the K serial..that would be hard to pass on..but its a lot of dough for a piece...
you gotta love it...
beauty indeed...

emagni · 13 March 2011, 02:17 AM

Was the K serial the only one to have the pvd movement?

Fearsome Puppy · 13 March 2011, 02:44 AM

If it is a K series and I could afford it - definitely...

jcatral14 · 13 March 2011, 06:33 AM

What's the significance of the K series?

nauticajoe · 13 March 2011, 07:54 AM

If you love it, go for it!

Michael M. · 13 March 2011, 08:23 AM

Go for it, my dad has one on order!

ocwatching · 13 March 2011, 03:01 PM

Only the K serial has the PVD movement...L on is smoked sapphire on the back...

Markg · 2 July 2011, 01:31 AM

so i passed on it.....

but now a different local AD has another! and it has the pvd movement.

guess they are either becoming more common or i just got lucky twice?

Get the K. It's the rare-r one.

dddrees · 2 July 2011, 03:42 AM

Only get it if it works for you, don't make a decision based upon rarity. What good is it if you don't like it?

Shade · 2 July 2011, 10:19 AM

Get the K, pvd movement is extremely difficult to make - or says Panerai - but I believe them. The smoked crystal is a nice idea, but for that kind of price tag, seems like they are taking the easy way out.

fc3s2k · 2 July 2011, 10:28 AM

Wowza!!! Just googled the retail price for one of those!!!!

If you can afford it, good for you and GET IT!!!!
But post some pics. Good luck.
