Looks like any other PAM to me except for the movement LOL.

You guys really gotta educate me next week during the GTG.

the PAM422 is basically the PAM372 + sub-second + PR indicator at the back
the PAM423 is then = PAM422 with PR indicator in front
all based on the new P3000 movement.

I spoke to a couple of boutiques and they are expecting this model to hit the boutiques in the next 3-4 months as the first 2012 lineup. So you can expect them to hit our shores via grey networks by September or so.
As for authorised networks, maybe a few months after that.

The RRP for 372 is RM33800
The PAM422 will be about RM35k
and the PAM423 will be 300RM more than the PAM422, which is usually the case.

Is it possible to get it at MRSP? Or Malaysians are expected to pay a premium like the 390?

I wonder why these and the 372 don't come with a rubber strap?
Are the lugs size same as any 44mm Pam?

this is how the italian package it. so if u wan a rubber strap then u have to buy aftermarket strap. lug size is not same as 372 n 422 is 47mm model. u will have to get a 26mm strap to fit this model

to get it at MSRP yes, of course. just go find a boutique or AD and register your name now.
it's a regular production model just like what gloomis mentioned.

like my parents always said, patience is a virtue.

you never know  ;)

it's always a supply and demand game. but would u want your grail watch to be not a demanded watch and sold at high discounts? wouldn't that frighten you also?  :D

Even the hot 372 can be had a Retail Price. Call up your nearest boutique (which would be Singapore) and put your name for it. It should be in by September or thereabouts..give a few months for delivery for the earlier names and you can be sure your turn will come.

Oh, and no discounts from boutiques. You can try that with an AD or any gray importers
