Am I crazy ?

The Panerai which I liked the most is the PAM360

I took my chance but without result

this explains everything

The Luminor for Paneristi’s Anniversary was launched on the Paneristi forum on 1st July 2010 and the same medium was used to provide instructions for ordering the watch. The 300 pieces produced sold out in the few minutes following the publication of the relative post.

sold out in a few minutes



The problem is that you can buy them second hand but the prize is nuts. Think about 4 times it's original listprice

Now I have a chance to make a deal .
I can get a PAM339 ( 8 giorni Marina Militare , composite) and I'm not very much interested in that watch because I have a PAM292 ( ceramic radiiomir)
Since both are Radiomirs and both are black I don't need to have both

BUT, the 339 sells wit a premium :-) which would make the 360 cheaper for me

the 360 had a 5500 euro listprice, secondhand they are around 20K ( like said NUTS) but that seems to be the price so you pay 20K or you won't have one
the 339 costs 10K euro and they sell for more or less 14 - 15 K

now, the possible trade, somebody I know has a 360 and wants a 339 :-) and he can't get one

I can get his 360 if I give him the 339 and pay another 3K cash

Doing so I pay 13K for the 360 ( 10K list + 3K cash)
Secondhand value is 15K + 3K

So I still pay a big premium for the 360, it costs me 13K .... but that is much better than the 18 or 20 K without flipping the 339 right


What do you think ?
Don't do it, or go for it ?

I know it is a lot of money but the 360 is such a gorgeous piece. A Panerai especially made for the Panerai collectors.
And I know, it is a lot for a simple Panerai but this might be the most collectable Panerai since 1997, so they'll probably never become cheaper
