thx for your comments ...
really appreciated that .... my problem is I currently reside in Hong Kong right now, where I am not familiar with the boutique there .... and I pretty much could make a wide guess that their waiting list for 317 would be unimaginably long!!
my wish and expectation is if PAM 317:
- is only made for 500 for the K year and none after ... paying 3k more (USD 31k in total) for a brand new one is not a bad deal (all because of the PVD movement!!).
- is going to continue for production for the years coming .... paying 28k is a maximum (even the rest of the production is not a PVD movement)!!
PVD movement servicing
Sooo... though I am not sure what is going to happen with whether the 317 will go forward in production or what its movement makeup will be, I was wondering how servicing of this piece will work if there truely is problem in manufacture of the movement. W...
x2
Wondering this as well! Would also be curious if anyone thinks the movement will be unreliable given the rumor that there was so much difficulty producing the movement to begin with.
I guess none of us will know until a few years from now
when the 2-yr warranty is over. I would assume that any parts that were PVD'ed would be replaced with spare PVD parts. My guess is
Boutique confirms that 317 will only be serviced back at HQ
For servicing, it is not done locally and is stipulated by PAM to send back to HQ for servicing. There is no such requirement on any watch except for 190 Depth Gauge so I was informed.
That is a good question my thoughts are that no matter what happens it will be the same..
done to every watch, I wish I could have gotten one of those when they were making them in PVD mvmnts. It reminds me of being somewhat of an Error baseball card. Whether it was intentional or not only a few are like that and will, IMHO, increase the value...
great question ... now should I get it??
A brand new 317K is offered to me at a price of USD30.8k ... I was about to take the offer, but after reviewing all the Pam experts' comments and info here, my mind of getting it is shaking .. 1) 317 is still going to be continued in production ... ie, it...
Too much premium
That's too much premium. You can probably get one for $28k BNIB right now, which is pretty close to retail after tax depending on your state and local tax rates ($25.6k retail plus 9.375% tax). Guys are listing it at $30k, but none are trading at that lev...

lion, if you look around, 317 has been falling off the skies like frogs
honestly, I had 3 friends of mine who acquired the 317 within the last 2 weeks all at list. Many got called from Boutique. At second hand dealers, there are 5 of them flowing around and they wouldn't even take any trade in... too many dead stocks unfortun...
