mysql Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 I'm looking at a Pam90 with sapphire glass, asian movement, real SS bracelet. It's a stunning watch, and it ran ~$300. I've found two dealers who sell the Pam90 with the same specs as above, but with an ETA movement for ~$600. I don't know what the exact ETA movement is in the more expensive version - but given that the ETA 2824 runs $50-70 range, what am I really getting for the money? And can I just buy an ETA movement and swap it with the asian? I think the Pam90 comes with an asian 7750, but I'm not sure. It has running seconds in the 9 o'clock position.

woody Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 sounds pricey to me, who are the dealers? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysql Posted March 23, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 sounds pricey to me, who are the dealers? Given what it costs to service a 7750, it's not THAT pricy in the overall scheme of things, but I wanted to ask others to see what the reason was for the cost. I was quoted just under $800 for another pam that contained a swiss movement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted March 23, 2006 Report Share Posted March 23, 2006 The 187? or old case 196? The most I've found a PAM was just over 700, but other dealers may have a slightly cheaper price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mysql Posted March 24, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2006 Here's an example: http://www.silix-prime.com/cat.asp?catid=117 Pam 196 w/ Valjoux 7753 movement for $650 Pam 58 w/ Swiss 6497 movement for $300 The rest are under $150. I think I've answered my own question, I found the 7753 movement priced at $479.00: http://www.ofrei.com/page240.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
