| Post subject: | PAM292 |
Hi everyone, New to the board and a very quick and easy question for those in the know I think! Ive never really considered a Panerai prior to going to my local Watches of Switzerland store in London. I bought a Breitling Navitimer World but they furnished me with a Panerai brochure as they have recently been made an AD I understand. I really really like the PAM292 (Black Ceramic). I know they are one of the more popular models but I have a couple of questions: 1.) I read on another thread about the PIG! If I bought one, I would want the PIG I think. I read that they were on the 2007 models but not the 2008 models. Is this correct or can you specify if you want one or not? 2.) Bearing 1 in mind, how easy are they to get hold of? I dont mind going on a waiting list for a couple of years if necessary. Ive paid a grey dealer over on a Rolex Daytona but dont fancy doing it again for this watch, if they can be gotten hold of in a semi-reasonable time. All responses welcome. Cheers. |

i'd take a crack at answering ur q's... 1. yea the pig is only in the J series. i guess some people complained that having the pig distract from the simplicity of the dial...panerai listened and took it out of the subsequent K/L series. of course now everybody wants the pig. 2. the 292 is a regular production piece so if u put ur name on the list you'll eventually get one. if u want the J/pig you'd probably have to go aftermarket/online dealer and i assume there'd be a premium. |

The difference in price between the j and k is about £2500-£3000. Personally go with the k as you should get one retail price if you look in the right areas.... |

Yes, the K-series is without PIG. And I love it without it. BTW, if you are ever in London, you have to visit the Imperial War Museum, see link below: http://london.iwm.org.uk/ There is a PIG on display and it's impressive! |

The PIG is just a collectibility issue. PAM owners are all about exclusivity and uniqueness. The more exclusive a watch is, the more desireable it is, regardless of whether it actually looks good. Personally I think its great either way.. lol. |
