need help again 217 or 368?
I love the two and want to sell some of my watches to finance this, want to sell 028 brand new, Cartier and Breitling not new, the 217 dial is great and it's a legend, but in very good state 14.000 euros, 368 around 11.000, but 368 is titanium and 8 day panerai movement, where 217 is just ETA, don't care about future prices, just want to know what you guys think, both make me go crazy...

I'd take an eta over pam inhouse.
I'd take SS over Ti. I'd take MM over not. I'd take 217 over 368

Depends on whether you want the watch for yourself or to impress others in the OP community .. Unless smitten by the PaM DNA and the potential appreciation of 217, 368 is a clear winner IMHO.

368
imho the 127 and 217 are over hyped, they were great when they were the only 47mm 1950 case panerai, but now with the second hand value so high ( although it is dropping) and loads of 47mm 1950 case watches they are no longer unique. It is a matter of time before we get a 127 with an in house movement.
basically nice case with a cheap movement vs nice case with 8 day in house movement + cash is a no brainer i looked at the 217 before i got my 368, it felt cheap in comparison at the end of the day it's what you like, go find a second hand dealer with both and try them and and see which one sings to you |
