Officine Panerai - PAM 360 ANGER and DISSAPOINTMENT

PAM 360 ANGER and DISSAPOINTMENT

Hi Guys,

just thought I would share some thoughts with you about the PAM 360 which I posted on another very well known Panerai Forum, only to find, SHOCK, HORROR, SURPRISE SURPRISE it was taken down or deleted.

We all wanted a 360 because it represented something unique, and was a watch to be cherished. Only 300 made and everyone had a chance of owning one. Many were dissapointed, but ok only 300 made so you accept it. But those lucky to get one were chosen by the moderators of this well known forum NOT PANERAI.

We kept being told how special the watch was the meaning behind it, the emotional value, so you think ok the ones chosen were going to cherish it.

Now we see PAM 360's on the internet being sold for $30, 000. So I guesse we know what the 360 meant to those people. We were never told how the distribution was decided
but everyone had a chance of owning one, and what will the people who decided the distribution do to those who flipped for a quick buck ?

To me it stinks, and the fact this subject was taken down as a post on the other site tells me somethings up ?

What do you guys think ?

now think , even when Panerai made and the Boss himeself selected those for the famous 203, or how about those who have their name on the famous 195, they were flipped. I was told that the 5070p Patek was for special customers.....look at how many for sal...

if you do a google search for "PAM 360" you will better understand the fiasco that was the PAM 360. having witnessed the debacle first hand I can confirm that while the 360 was positioned as a community watch, the site heads had produced a secret list wit...

Art, glad you understand where I am comming from. I understand Imran's point well, and of course sometimes your AD offers you a watch and you think if I don't take it will I be offered another, and yes people do flip its in the nature of buying lots of wa...

by the way, you are not the only one who feels this way

g Source: Sitetrail.com m the site went from 3,500 unique visitors/day to a peak of nearly 6,000 about the time the 360 was announced. The drop off starting in September coincides with the 360 debacle, and the year end number is less than 1/3 the numb...

Sorry but if you want to vent about the PAM360, you can't do so here either

We do not allow any watch site's garbage to pollute our forums here. PuristSPro has no interest in any other site's politics. Sorry, Anthony This message has been edited by AnthonyTsai on 2011-01-28 19:24:09
