unknown. The original number of pieces was supposed to be 99 and the cost MONUMENTALLY lower than the one it was sold for, in the end. The production suffered also a hefty delay. The price went up twice, while the model was being produced and the number of pieces, followed the same route. My guess (uneducated) is that the original budget has been badly...botched...by some bean-counter that had not taken into consideration that the price of platinum could go up and up and up. So, almost 1 year after the expected date of delivery and 2 apologetic e-mails informing me of the increase in price, I finally took delivery of this beautiful (for me) watch. When I saw it..live..I held my breath and forgot the wait, the increase in costs and the increase in number of pieces produced. Call me a.....sap lolllll

Here is the PAM 373, a Radiomir we don't often discuss, as it seems that the PAM 721 stole the show. Pretty nice looking, in my opinion. And its Cal P 3000. What do you think? Best, Nicolas ...  

Very nice indeed

Especially in person. Much cooler than the 721 in my opinion. Kent

One of my favourites....

of course. The "platinum" factor, though, relegated this beautiful model to...oblivion. Out of reach, out of sight type of scenario :-(

The 373 was produced before the 425...

and has 2 fundamental differences (apart from the actual metal): 1) It has no "maiale" on the dial. 2) It has a spectacular tobacco dial. The 373 is, by far, my favourite remake of the original 2533 model and the 449, would be on my wrist if I were a "Non...

I have a PAM 376 which came out the same year. The 373 is my grail watch.
