PAN 28A

[CAPTAIN22]

I was just given a PAN28A.  It is a gift from my father.  He has had it since new, probably 20 years ago.  He rarely wore it, but it does look slightly worn.  I have the box (without the padding) and the books.  It is all original and works.  Any estimates on the value?  I am looking to sell it.

Post photos, so we can judge the condition and authenticity.

if his father had it for 20 years its legit. .    especially how horrible reps were even 5 years ago. 

 

 

But i am sure everyone would love to see pictures of it.

 

ofcourse it could be a scam...

His first post, cut him some slack....

If he thinks it's gen, seems like his first post would be at a gen forum if he wanted to know it's current value. 

 

28A = 1998, 15 years ago.

First post seems very much like a backdoor sales attempt to me, $10 says we never see any photos.

Assuming it is legit look on Risti to see where people are pricing them. They come up for sale fairly often.

The new poster hasn't logged on since yesterday when he made the post.  You would think he would have been back by now to see if he got any responses.

 

Just sayin'

if it is indeed a gen I would guess around Euro 6-8K depending on condition

Let me get this straight.  Your dad just gave you one of the holy grail PAM automatics and you want to sell it??

[CAPTAIN22]

It is the real deal, he bought in St Barths actually 14-15 years ago.  I am turning 40 and he is giving it to me as a gift.  I havent checked this site since my original post because I was waiting for him to send me pics as I dont have it in my hands yet.  He is bringing it to me next wekend.  He bought it for around $2500 back then, but I know it is worth considerablly more now.  He has the box and books, however the box is missing the pillow inside.  He almost never wore it because it hit his wrist in a weird spot and he found it uncomforatable.  I don't think I want to keep it, it is just not my style and he is fine with that.

 

The reason I chose this site - it showed up first on my Google search.  Is there a bigger/better one I should be looking at?

Yes, you should list it on paneristi.com

 

Good luck

Current prices for a 28a are hovering around $15-18k depending on condition.

It will sell at paneristi.com in less than 24 hrs. with good pics and references or face to face deal.

Do you really need the money?

 

It will do a really good job indexing inflation over the years. I'd just lock it up in a Safe Deposit box and check back in 25 years and sell it for my retirement.

[CAPTAIN22]

Finally took a pic.  I also have the original box and book.  However the box was stripped of its insides, so it is just a wood box.

Keep it safe for another 10 years or so and it should appreciate nicely.  Its a great watch

Congratulations on a very nice genuine PAM00028 'A'.  Keept it locked up, it's an awesome piece.
