Decisions, Decisions, Decisions

I am looking to pull the trigger on my next watch in the coming weeks and I have a tough decision to make.

I am torn between a 16570 or a PAM 48. I really love both of these watches and unfortunately I cannot get them both (trust me if I could, I would)

can anyone advise on re-sell values (I don't plan on getting rid of it any time soon but always good to know) and anyone's experience with both watches.

I currently have a Rolex Date, Breitling Colt & Omega Constellation so the PAM would fit in nice as I don't have anything like that currently in my collection but I can also make the same argument for the Polar.

I turn to you almighty watch aficionados for some guidance and thoughts.

if you buy right, either will be fine for flipping. in general, a 48 will be harder to flip, because 40mm is not a traditional PAM size, though. also, posting this in the rolex forum, very few will be pro-48 .

personally, i had a 16570 white M-seriel that i managed to move after two years for 95% of the MSRP...also, when looking at panerai, for me, i quickly decided that 44mm worked better than 40mm.

best way to avoid any potential "flipper's tax", however, is to buy what you like most.

Good advice!

Take Cru's advice.

Unless you have very small wrists, I wouldn't go with a 40mm PAM. It kind of defeats the whole purpose of a Panerai, imo.

I've always thought the Polar is one of the more distinctive watches Rolex makes...so it would get my vote.
