PAM088 - shall I?

[LeSentier]

Gents,

Friend of mine offered me a gen PAM088 D-series, Box & Papers for € 2.800. seems to be a limited edition since it's # is 18xx/2500 on the back.

All others I saw on Chrono24 are in a higher price range.

PAM experts, ist this a steal and should I go for it, or is this just a "standard" price?

Thx, J

Forgot to say - the box and the rubber strap in the pics are my rep-set.

The gen box & papers are still in his posession.. :-)- just before anybody chimes in and cry REP...

If you can "miss" the €2800, I most certainly would! The 088 is a real stunner.

I dont think it's a limited edition. I once read that Panerai makes a certain amount per series. In this case, 2500 D series...

Thanks MM, I am just thinking about if this is a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity, or if these do often come for this price.

Also concerning a rep 088, but guess there are too many obvious flaws like the CGs or the wrong subdial color. The only one with correct subdial is from dsn, but i think it's discontinued...

It is indeed a once-in-a-lifetime-opportunity!

The new 088 O series is pretty darn good! There's a rep-gen comparison at Wrist Check. Every rep has it flaws, that's why it's a rep.

Some flaws are huge and bug me, some are small and don't bother me. (Speaking in general, not regarding the 088)

I finally did it ....
