PAM 104 Homage watch

Zaza · May 5, 2013

UP To your consideration is this beautiful Cartel Pam 104 Automatic.

I'm thinning down my personal collection and this babe needs to go.

The serie is a Homage to the 44mm PANERAI 104 that was a Unique Special Edition of 500 pieces to commemorate the “Regatta” Laureus Sports Awards in 2004.

It's a world CLASS Cartel piece. The quality and construction of case and crystal will blow you away.
The movement is 21 Jewel Swiss Automatic.

The lume is sweet and lights beautifully and the Crown Guard snaps nice and tight.
No visible scratches, except a very superficial nail scratch on caseback. a Cape Cod Polish will take care of it.

Thanks for looking

Yes. Mine should be treated as a serious question I supposed.

mmhollis · May 5, 2013

Given that the word "homage" was used, you can reasonably assume it is not "authentic."

Thanks. Sorry for my poor English. Unauthentic item is allowed here?

Thanks for the clarification Hollis,

If it were 100% Original, I would have listed it on Chrono24 for no less than $6,500

I built the watch myself from both original OEM and aftermarket parts. It took me around 4 months to accomplish the project. It's one of a kind timepiece, loaded with a Swiss Automatic movement and offered exclusively for SF community at the price of a Casio watch. I don't seek any profit from this. On the contrary. The Sapphire Crystal alone is worth $350.

If I'm breaching any forum rules here, I'll gladly take the listing down and keep the watch.
Thank you

It's a replica, not an homage. There is a difference.

correct. It is not a homage watch, simply a fake.
Why?
because a homage would not indicate the brand name, it would have a non-branded dial, case back, etc.
Surprised this listing is allowed.
