new to the scene

hi all

Im totally newbie to the world of PAM... but ive had my head turned - and im learning what i like and what the values are with a view to buying one some time soon.

ive worked thro, Breitling, omega, rolex and AP sampling the models i liked or could afford... with varying degrees of pleasure / dissapointment regarding the value retention when it comes to selling the watch on again.... (i cant keep them - i have to flip for financial reasons)

so my question is - where about on the spectrum does PANERAI sit ??, referring to resale value.... (assuming i buy used from a dealer rather than new) -

thanks in advance

Not quite rolex but better than most value retention.

^ that's exactly right.

Start with a lightly used 000/111/005 and you are sure to lose nothing if you flip. Or, take the time to find what you really want and you won't lose anything, either.

Very good advice. The 111 is hard to go wrong with.

True, I started with a 111 that I resold for what I bought it after 10 months, then a 024 that I made money on after a month, now I own a 177.
