I personally would not pay that much for a 390. I'd say $7500 max and that's being way generous. It's a beautiful watch, but it's not worth that much money. And I think you're talking about buying right at the peak of the market. There haven't been that many delivered yet so the demand is really high and people are getting anxious that they won't get one. But there are a lot more to be delivered and then you're going to have 372's getting delivered soon as well. I guarantee you will see people selling 390s to fund 372s and other pieces on the way. So I'd hold tight and save some money.

I think it's too high for 390. around $7500 is reasonable.
I'm afraid that 372's price will be higher than 127.

God I wish I had customers like you and a bunch of 390s............you would really pay $8500 for a $5,000 watch that is basically an entry level item???? Even $7,500 sounds crazy. I think all you guys willing to pay 50% or more over retail for this watch will have you second guessing yourselves after a few weeks. Panerai will come out with many new designs similar to the 390.........just hang in there and wait. These watches are already pricey enough.

Anyway, if you really got have it and can't live without its your money so, good luck and enjoy

There are 2000 of them. Have you called a boutique yet? Give it time, the price will come down.

that is unless you have $$$ to burn ... get it now and enjoy it.


Heck of a piece. I hope to get one as well to add to my ever growing Pam collection.

try to get one at a boutique
you never know :-)

If that doesn't work out, wait 6 months till more of them are delivered, I think a fair price will be listprice +30 or +40 % or 6500 till 7000
Today there are not many of them delivered and that pushes the price, just have some patience

But list + 30% will be a very good deal
It is a super nice piece and limited and one of the most cheap Panerai watches you can buy so the premium will never dissapear
And within 3 years it will even be more e
xpensive

You are drinking way too much of the Panerai Kool-Aid

It's worth what you deem it to be honest. I understand that many pay a premium. It's a watch that is great looking and should retain value. Happy hunting.

If you its worth 3k over list and it blows you away... its worth every penny. If it does not, its not worth a penny over list. Life is short... do what makes YOU smile!!

Best,

here me now, believe me later, if they don't louse up an make 50 lookalikes this will be a watch to own. Those that missed their shot at a 360 or 201/A, this is your baby.

I about crapped when I opened the box, and I am tough to please
