SIHH Report 2009 -2012

[johnfish]

I love Pams and has been collecting them for years. Buying, wearing and selling if I need to get other models. The type of owners are evolving and I also thought the brand's DNA is changing.

2 things I am not so pleased with the brand is the way they release their watches and the service. I have patronised Richemont no fewer than 5 times and spent thousands there but always thought I deserve better treatment and service. Same as some European car servicing (which I will not mention since its notabout watch)

1# Answer -The Least is more on Panerai DNA
2# Answer -They have mastered in planting trees but left out how to water them.

Hi bro Ender...
Integrity refers to my 1st sentence...begging the AD to release watches and then sell it to make quick bucks from the newbies..not as interpreted by a someone out there who cannot read properly.

Integrity refers to a person character who is firm and stands by own strict moral n ethical code. Not someone who spank himself turning around quickfast, being a turncoat.

Clearly from this post subzilla 194G. no 5,6,9, in the serials...
Followed by pam177k for sale, no 4,5,6,7,in the serials.
So wat happened to subzilla ? have serial #4? Pam177 hv serial #9?
So which is which? So wat are the numbers that consider unlucky or lucky?
Izzit means if you have a watch with unlucky 4, your post will ommit it. And if you have another watch FS with another unlucky number , again you cover it?
Can Mr Fred Tan kindly explain? Many curious ppl out there wld want to know.

This is the post.....

i understand your frustration. one of my friend had a bad experience with this fellow before too. even thou my friend replied in a nice way and reason with him....this fellow behaved like an angry man....ready to kill any people who talked bad abt panerai.

that is why my advice to u......just ignore him.

Nowadays, when I sell things people ask me have 4 or 6 or 5 in the serial? I will ask what's the problem with what number? If I have the number you like, would you pay more? This is strange. Ask then why they ask this and then I know it's a new trend that is started by 1 Sg seller.
In fact, I had a piece numbered 0004 and another 0168 and the buyers was please to get it...no need to pay more or less.

Haaaa...I finally getting my rusty aging brain ticks once again .I'm acting own while typing tis....... call up every part single OP boutique around the world to reserve those hot models wit unlucky case no #4 at big discount $$$. BTW,did u know Mr.Franck Muller once reveal to the press his lucky no. is "4" LOL !! Thanks for sharing your amazing true story.

Hi , i notice this trend too , my pam is No: 44 , and the buyer did ask about it, i told him i'm quite happy with the no: and it shouldn't affect his selling price in future if he wanna sell it, in fact both the pam i sold off comes with two 4s on the no: and even my Hp no: got three 4s .
BTW , if really so concern about the 4s should not get the pam luminor in the 1st place , as its 44mm and its stated panerai luminor 44 on the outer boxes of the watch .

Bro,,I can assure u have no problem selling it to any Japanese collector. They love the big "#4"

[KuchingKu]

Yup. My IC has 444 also but I'm quite well and good. Just so strange why people disciminate 4 and for some people 4,5,6,7,9?

Strange phenomena that I have not seen in my many years in P.com. People only feel happier if they get 0001, 150/150 etc. The rest are just common.

Ya. Maybe like itsc says, ask the originator of this trend to explain the rationale.

[dominique_kwok]

Wah seems like my watch is every superstitious person's dream then since it is in all glory of 1088. Then again, that means striking it big in a year and a year only sounds kind of little.

Wow. Brilliant. Except that needs to spell Edition correctly. Don't make same mistake as 'Marian' on the 233 (Can't remember is it this model?) box. Others may use this to put premier on the piece again.

Then perhaps you can ask AB to make a enamal Pam with painting of topless ladies in a very special number and sold to men only. Ha. Thought JLC made something in this fashion. To go top horlogerie, must do enamal dials lah.

Can I reserve serial number 69?
