2004 ah? haha i think not? the movement almost 10 years already.
i think 5.5k can find a later series one.
but G series, only 500 pam 000 made.

Price is put to be bargained one. I think 000 pre owned should be around $4.5k if not so new. Newer ones close to $5k.

I have a question. Pam 000 PR is only 56 hours.. Every two days wind once is not healthy for the crown i read. If that is the case how to let it be a beater?

Guess i shld let my 510 8 days PR be daily beater and use only 000 for other occasion?

Also $6k for pam 000 is Q series....
Extra $500 more i get brand new. Then why would i want save $500 for a preowned? Maybe U can enlighten me?

AD $6.5k no discount. That's what my SA quote me in end May 2014. Some bros here might be able to get a discount.

That's because AD and boutique has limited pieces and there's a waiting list?

Just factor in $500 (or whatever it is for a full service) if it's an L series and not serviced before.

Beater usually buy automatic. Manual winding usually won't be a good beater. Haha.

I got feeling 510 is good enough. Save the money for some other watches. Haha
