Should I....

Need some help.....been offered a PAM 292 (Radiomir in black ceramic) BNIB from an AD in Saudi Arabia for US 6650.00 - price includes tax (there is none)!! Been wanting the watch for a while but was hoping to get the Sub C next (likely in the late Spring).....if I get the 292 there will be at least 2 price increases on the Sub C before I can pick one up.

What should I do??

The 292 is a good looking watch, a friend of mine has one. However, the idea of a hand-wound watch is something I could never be completely friends with. So used to automatic I would probably forget to wind it.

x2! If you want the 292, get it at that price. If you go SubC and then save for the 292, there will be price increases for that, too, and you won't be sure to get such a deal again.....

Good luck with the choice.

Go for it

That's a great deal on a new 292. When you're ready to purchase the sub-C next spring, and the 292 isn't clicking with you, just sell it off and put the funds towards a new sub

No matter which one you get the other will go up in price later on. I always tried to get the one I wanted most first and this has always served me well.

Thanks for the posts guys....I will eventually get both watches, but this is almost too good a deal to pass on - will post a pic when I've decided!!

Cheers!
