I bought a TT daytona 116523 model (fat hands), and I have only worn the watch a few times, honestly, it has been sitting in the winder for too long. I have always like the Pam 106 Sub with anthracite dial, and I think I would wear it a lot more. Would you make that trade, and if so, what would you expect in regards to getting some $$ back along with the Pam. I have chyecked out prices, and the Pam is definitely lower in price.
Or do you think I am nuts is considering that, and after seeing what the TT daytonas are going for, I really don't know.
Experts, please chime in!!
Thanks.

Buy and wear what you like. If the Daytona gets no wrist time, its time to get rid of it.

I definitely do not think you are nuts. For me personally, Panerai is immensely more enjoyable to wear than any Rolex I have owned to include the SS Daytona. The PAM + 2K sounds like a decent deal but I'm not sure how realistic of an expectation that is. That being said, I would rather lose some money & get a watch I would love to wear rather than keep a pricier watch I have little interest in. Just be sure you REALLY want the PAM before pulling the trigger, have you had a chance to try one on?

Good advice. I wouldn't hang on to any watch because of perceived "value'' or "rarity'' if I wasn't wearing it often.

If I find myself not wearing it regularly, it's time for it to go - even if the replacement is a watch that others might think is not as desirable.

king arthur · 4 January 2012, 10:53 AM

Personally I will never trade a Rolex for a Panerai. I tried on several Panerais and it's only this that I would only consider getting. I think it's 336 - rose gold, 42mm(but wears smaller), tobacco dial, manual wind - a nice weekend watch.

Ditto but...
That is really nice...

Z-Sub · 4 January 2012, 04:30 PM

I would never at this moment in time but I have not learned to appreciate Panerai. If that changes, then I might if that's what makes me happy

FeelingTheBlues · 4 January 2012, 05:55 AM

I'm not sure about the money you will get back in the trade but as Christiaan said if the Daytona doesn't have any wrist time and that PAM is one of your grails I would do the trade.

AJMarcus · 4 January 2012, 06:00 AM

All good advice above. Go for it but don't expect to make a profiit. Dont know much about the PAM you are seeking but for some strange reason all PAMs seem to hold their value quite well. It's all about getting what you'll wear IMO unless one is a collector.

Rags · 4 January 2012, 06:40 AM

Sorry, I would never trade a Daytona for a Pam....

Dr. Robert · 4 January 2012, 06:44 AM

no, nein , non , nyet

masterserg · 4 January 2012, 06:45 AM

noooooooo

Mickey® · 4 January 2012, 06:47 AM

Not a deal I'd do.

bassplayrr · 4 January 2012, 06:49 AM

They seem like very different watches to me, so I suppose it would depend on what else I already have in the collection. If you have no other Chronos, the Daytona seems like a keeper. Vise versa if you have no serious divers.

That being said, if the Daytona isn't getting much wear you might be right in thinking it's time for a change.

nauticajoe · 4 January 2012, 06:53 AM

As mentioned, it it's not getting wrist time.....

What's the point of owning it if you don't enjoy it anymore.

jbox168 · 4 January 2012, 07:01 AM

Will the Pam Get the wrist time lost or will it sit in the winder also? if it will get the wrist time then go for it, if not sell it and buy an ordinary watch and spend the money to something will be useful to you!

Art 1 · 4 January 2012, 07:36 AM

No.

z0mghenry · 4 January 2012, 07:51 AM

I say go for it. There's no sense in keeping a watch you don't wear unless you just want to collect them.

drtooth73 · 4 January 2012, 07:53 AM

Me, personally, yes, especially if you dont wear the TT.
Pam Sub is a great watch

sierra11b · 4 January 2012, 07:56 AM

Even though I would never do the trade in a million years do what you like and makes you happy!

dalip · 4 January 2012, 09:00 AM

Always do what'll make you happy regarding watches IMO. They are there to be enjoyed primarily and worn. If you're not wearing a model then why have it? It passes on to someone who will hopefully relish it and you get a watch in return you feel the same about. Panerai are a great brand. I say go for it. As for trade values I'm not sure on that one.

x1,000,000. don't see how there can be any other answer....

a couple things to consider about the 106.....this model came with a bracelet. if you think you will want to switch to straps mostly, there's not much point in paying extra for the bracelet (bracelet models cost more). if what you particularly like about the 106 is the anthracite dial and titanium, you could also look into the 89. (but, if you want a sub, then, i think, 106 is the only way to go.)

as a limited production model (two years about a decade ago) + titanium + anthracite dial, the amount of buyers should you decide to re-sell might be a bit limited. then again, i would think the price on the 106 would have bottomed out by now....(i'm no expert on that type of thing, though.

)

lastly, and you probably are fully aware so just ignore, but, the watch will be about a decade old, so, check on the service history.

good luck with the choice!

petesjag · 4 January 2012, 09:08 AM

What dial is on that tt daytona? I would not, but if you don't enjoy the daytona then flip her..

mrbill2mrbill2 · 4 January 2012, 09:29 AM

If you don't wear the Daytona get rid of it. But, not for a straight trade. I am not knowledgeable of the Pam's exact value but know it is less than the Daytona.

skyedog · 4 January 2012, 09:31 AM

No way!

stockae92 · 4 January 2012, 09:51 AM

I personally wouldn't

just my preference of watch A vs watch B, YMMV

bugawako · 4 January 2012, 11:33 AM

Why have it if you'll never wear it. If you think the PAM will have more wrist time, then I'd get it.

Fiddy · 4 January 2012, 11:41 AM

Get rid of it, if you don't have much wrist time.
Enjoy your new watch!

paltak · 4 January 2012, 11:50 AM

Yes, since you asked, I think you're nuts if you do this trade! Not in a million years would I trade my daytona for a 106, and that's coming from a risti. I believe you'd have a hard time getting rid of a 106 in the future :( You might want to consider more historic PAM models.
