Hi Alice,
Scott is correct. The cheapest base is PAM0 and it retails at MYR 13.9k. However, this is one of the most endearing and difficult PAMs to be spotted at the AD. You'll notice that most PAMs are hard to come by in Malaysia and Singapore (or most part of the world) unless you buy it directly from the boutiques, nearest being the HK or Shanghai boutique. I suspect that PAM0 will most likely be sold without discount since it has been common knowledge that this model:
1) traditionally, only 500 are produced per year (not sure about 2009 quantities; perhaps Scott can verify the production figure by checking the caseback)
2) rumours that it will be discontinued
A few things that you need to know when you want to purchase PAM in Malaysia:
1) AD sell on a first come first serve basis
2) AD usually do not take downpayments since there are too many buyers out there and the AD don't wish to offend any of their customers
3) Usually one shipment from Richemont per month
4) The AD can't place an order for the model you like since Richemont is the party that decides which model to allocate to the AD
5) Each shipment from Richemont is limited, can be as little as 3 watches only.
As usual, PAM tend to increase their price in September although they had in the past been known to increase their price twice a year. If you can get one, buy it without hesitation. If you hear of any shipment of PAM0, let me know as well as I want to buy one.
I am not sure how true this is but my contacts at the AD informed me that the shipment for August was delayed (that was last week) and most likely, PAM0 will not be in the shipment.
