I think I've read somewhere that the prices of the 028 are higher than that..they really rarely appear on the 2nd hand market... from all the pannies, the two I'd love to have are the 028 and the 203...

the only thing that I could add to this post is that the movement in the 222 that I have is a bit loud...the 2892 is quiet when it comes to that...dunno if that's got something with the fact that the 2892 has been serviced...and definitely when the mvts are manually wounded the 2892 is smooth, while the one from the 222 is not...

...another dream vanished... well, then I'll have to pursue somebody to sell me his 028 with the 2892 mvt... ...and to add a nice 090 to complete the PR collection - 027//222 (have) // 028//090 (have to get) ..hopefully Panerai decides to make a re-edition of the 027/028 series or at least builds a PR that is nice (I don't like - from what I saw in the pics - the new PR pam - but I may be wrong!)

I was just reading an italian watch magazine last night...from the 1998...the price of these (027 & 028) was 4.600.000 lit (lire italiane)...that would be today something as 2.300

sssurfer, you've got a master degree in PR asian movements!...great... do you think if the rep makers would improve the case/dial/CG/crown/caseback on the asian PR PAMs and leave the already great (cheap and reliable) movements in, that we would have a sort of SUPER rep? I am definitely sure that there is market for the auto PR Pams...or is it just me who is in love with them? P.S. I am just having some e-mail exchange with a member regarding the 028 2892 - maybe I will add it to my collection...depends on the price!

I own(ed) both of these movements... the cheap asian PR movement was great when I had it and it still runs in the same way on my friends wrist...as sssurfer said the asian movement gets fully wounded in a couple of hours when worn...for a little over 100$ this is one of best reps available (090,222,124,027/028 asians)...and it keeps time really accurately lately I've been having some problems with the 2892, something strange is happening...well I had probl from the very first beginning when I got the watch from EL...the mvt came broken...and when I got it back from the watcsmith again it didn't function properly...now the PR isn't good at all, once it is fully wound it stops randomly when worn, the PR pointer won't go furter down than 20-30 hrs...it is/was my mistake I haven't brought it back to the watchsmith immediately when I noticed it but I wanted so badly to wear it (waited for more than 3 months to be repaired in the first place)...next saturday is going back to the watchsmith to see where is the probl...hopefully nothing really bad... as I have said in another post, I wonder why the rep factories haven't done the asian PR pams (27/28) in a more accurate way...I bet the sales would be really great...cause the movements proved to be super reliable...now the only thing is to correct the dials,crowns,CG,and cases...and we would forget the ETA's really quickly!

Guys take a look at this russian watches...I like them a lot...seems that they have eta movements and the prices start from 5k to 7.5k VOLNA

...but I have never noticed that before while looking at pics of PAMs...strange! well, just to add one more pic of a PR dial (this is a rare dial // seems it is a prototype dial) : Wonder why the rep makers never did a good version of the 027/028 with the asian movement (I know that there are reps of them with asian movements - but they are poorly done IMO)...

Hi A! Thanks for the info...I know about those watches...but the price they go for 400-500$...it is easier for me to buy a rep (if I find one on the 2nd hand market)... it is already on 160$...

there is the radiomir 42mm with the manual lemania//seagull movement

I have this one on order...cannot wait to get it...we all agree that for what we pay for it is a must have rep, even if not be worn regularly... I wonder why this review isn't pinned!

I'd be in for a 1A if done really good...

thanks for the info (I've looked on dealers websites but found different dial colors - not this one)...I would never consider wearing a 37mm watch...I could close an eye for a 40mm if done properly...

I do not follow that much the Rolex reps but I think that this one hasn't been repped yet...generally I am not a Rolex type of guy but this one somehow got my attention... would you like to see it repped?

I beleive in EU this car costs 600+k

I gave a quick look at your pics...what you have there is an extremely rare piece which can clearly be seen just by having a look at the caseback...it is the prototype 000/500 of the PAMX...a better evaluation of it's value could be made by an auction house...or by an expert...congrats on the lovely piece of junk!

how about this one :

I have just checked the link that piratedzeus provided and it is working...seems she took back the old page and made of it a new webstore...completely new look and finally she has the prices on...no need to mail her and wait for feedback...

isn't this her old one? BTW Theo I tought you've already noticed her new release of the AP ROO with sec at 12? nice but expensive! just kidding! It's been down for me too this last couple of days...

seems that the SC gator come to it's final destination...I am away from home right now, but tomorrow afternoon I should have it in my hands...yuppie! now the big question...should it go on the 029 // 027 // 111 // 222 ?

I've just looked on the bay and found the dial you are looking for...see with the seller for how much $ is he willing to let it go...probably it is a fake dial and don't know what the seller thinks about it... 190200321365 BTW...I am looking forward to see how this test proceeds

here is a pic of it so you get the picture what is he talking about...the only thing that the buckle should be PVD..

buying a leather strap for 1000$ is crazy...putting it on a rep is insane! somebody advised a CH from Greg...that would be a nice combination and the strap can be found used in good conditions at a good price and new around 200$-...
