Huh? There is such a watch? Franken or Ori?

PAM00072 or PAM00074.

The watch. Evil yes? Still trying to justify the price to get the PAM00072 (comes with the metal bracelet instead of the leather strap).

Wow... how much are those going for?
Seems like only the rotor has been changed... I can even see the Zenith Caliber 400? etched on the movement...

hanz079,

The PAM00074 (with leather strap) goes for between RM18 to 23K condition dependent, while the PAM00072 (with the titanium/ ss bracelet) is about RM 20 to 28k, again condition dependent. The movement is the 400z. The differences between the 400 and the 400z can be seen below:

The 400z is similar to the previous EP HW that I have equipped with a 420z...
At that kind of price... I will have to pass...
I would rather drop that kind of money on a Striking 10th or an EP Winsor Annual Calendar.

It was an eye opener for me though...
So that means PAMs used Zenith, JLC, Rolex and ETA movements and only until recently gone in house?

Don't forget Minerva and Angelus. The Rolex movement is the Rolex 618 Cortebert ebauche based movements.

Thanks The Hobbit, Hanz and the rast for an insightful knowledge.

Cheers.
