Base Pam

[littlesubseamonster]

Was at the local AD couple of days ago, they display most of the pam series except base pam. I was curious and ask the manager about it (as if they don't have any base model for sale). To my surprise, he told me quite honestly that they are holding on to their base pam model as Paneria is discontinuing their base model.

So they can start selling at a premium....woah, I guess this is how they made extra doe.

My guess is those who are holding on to their base pam might see their value increase, especially Pam 024 and 025 (rarer), which is quite difficult to come by in the preowned market, might see the most increment.

any advice/opinions on this issues?

the discon rumours have been rive for years now.

ETA's decision to restrict supply pushed watch companies to churn out in-house movements, imho.

510 is supposed to replace 111 but the latter is still in production. 000. 005. 111, 112 are pam's cash cows. you reckon pam will kill off these cash cows just like that?

pam is using these 6497's to power their new line-up, check out the model ref 600-series. including the 634, i count at least 3 or 4 models using the 6497.

will they completely phase out these base models? maybe. possibly yes but not in the very near future, imo.

the closest to the dicson rumors now appears to be the 183. it has disappeared completely from the hardcopy catalogue but is still shown on the on-line catalogue. possibly a 180 by pam?

560/561/562 in-house base. What more you want, not enough yeah.
