Hi all! Would love to hear your thoughts. I'm considering trading my mint 11610 LV for a mint Pam 312. All box and papers for both . Also it is with Watchuseek
anybody here ever deal with them. Are they trustworthy? All this makes me quite uneasy, I've heard of people getting ripped off all the time. Am I crazy?

JUSTROLEXES · 2 June 2011, 01:23 PM

I would NOT trade

Keep your LV

it's a winner

htc8p · 2 June 2011, 01:30 PM

no way not worth it!

OJ at WatchUSeek is a class act. No worries there at all!

Kapture1 · 2 June 2011, 01:35 PM

I would be tempted, do what makes you happy. But go try it on first at an AD if there is one near you. That being said, I have made trades, bought and sold watches on WUS. Like anywhere, you are never 100% safe, so as always, use caution and get references.

Good luck

MortgageGuy · 2 June 2011, 01:39 PM

The 312 is a beauty but as mentioned make sure you try it on and like the feel/size on your wrist

Dr. Robert · 2 June 2011, 04:03 PM

I would not trade....but if you must.......Watchuseek has good people buying & selling, I have not had a problem there.

salem65 · 2 June 2011, 01:41 PM

I would keep the LV. I feel it has staying power and is a proven classic. The PAM is certainly a fantastic watch, but the Rolex is so iconic I would be hard pressed to ever part with it.

psv · 2 June 2011, 01:42 PM

312 is rather mundane and way too thick at 18mm IMO, sits too high on the wrist. Go try it on but I wouldn't do it.

CoachRolexRyan · 2 June 2011, 01:50 PM

Thanks everyone! I have a Pam 24 Sub and I love it, but I agree with the general consensus- Keep the Rollie it's the one and only! As much as I love Pams and the 312 in particular, the Rolex Sub and Rolex's in general are proven classics again and again.The LV is a beauty!

Absolutely -

walds11 · 2 June 2011, 07:26 PM

The 312 is too thick for my tastes. Keep the 16610 LV and save up for a different Panerai model. What is the case thickness of the 233?

DolphinV8 · 2 June 2011, 03:08 PM

Can't say if it's a good trade or not, but you might wanna look into the 351, 321, and other 1950 cased watches. If you read paneristi, you would see a lot of people have problems with their 312.They also use P9000 in many other 1950 watches, but it seems like the 312 is always the one that has problems.

From a current 312 owner (mine is back at Panerai for a complete overhaul).

john11f · 2 June 2011, 03:12 PM

Do not trade your Rolex for a Panerai.

Thanks Carson, I've noticed that as well. Good luck with your beauty, she'll come back perfect. It's more of a hassle than anything else!

subtona · 2 June 2011, 03:15 PM

my vote

Joey_V · 2 June 2011, 03:31 PM

I would not do it... it is not a good trade. The LV has more staying power and is more classic.

This is from a 312 ex-owner.

landroverking · 2 June 2011, 03:42 PM

No I would not make the trade

htc8p · 2 June 2011, 05:16 PM

it is not being biased. there maybe more attraction to the panerai because of its looks but the name rolex will be around for much longer.

Yep, crazy. Not a 312, but close enough. If I could only keep one it would be the LV.

travisb · 2 June 2011, 06:46 PM

I've owned the 312 and it is a really nice watch with the new in-house but the LV is just too nice to give up IMO.

blackout · 2 June 2011, 06:55 PM

Dont do it... Youre going to kick yourself if you do... And then wonder why you did it?!...

clarencek · 2 June 2011, 07:26 PM

Especially not a LV. keep it, they're getting harder to come by at reasonable prices these days.

nauticajoe · 2 June 2011, 08:54 PM

I wouldn't do it.

vukotab · 2 June 2011, 10:15 PM

Reconsider that idea, LV is fantastic piece and I wouldn`t do it.
