CAPTAIN22 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 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.

amanamongmen Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 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... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

projectologist Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) 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.

bwhitesox Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 First post seems very much like a backdoor sales attempt to me, $10 says we never see any photos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Assuming it is legit look on Risti to see where people are pricing them. They come up for sale fairly often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectologist Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 (edited) 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' Edited May 2, 2013 by projectologist Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paneristi Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 (edited) if it is indeed a gen I would guess around Euro 6-8K depending on condition :worthless: Edited May 4, 2013 by paneristi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluddy Posted May 4, 2013 Report Share Posted May 4, 2013 Let me get this straight. Your dad just gave you one of the holy grail PAM automatics and you want to sell it?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPTAIN22 Posted May 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 (edited) 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?

dluddy Posted May 5, 2013 Report Share Posted May 5, 2013 Yes, you should list it on paneristi.com Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
projectologist Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 (edited) 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.

grew Posted May 6, 2013 Report Share Posted May 6, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAPTAIN22 Posted May 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted May 20, 2013 Report Share Posted May 20, 2013 Keep it safe for another 10 years or so and it should appreciate nicely. Its a great watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
