Hello,

I have a question, I guess I know the answer... Maybe in the Panerai subforum will get another answer, hehehe.

I have a Panerai 424 with date, bought in 2013. I was thinking to sell it since the warranty expired this month and I'm not a fan of Pam service... Just in case that something happens with the watch in the future. I've been looking for a Rolex LV, I had one some years ago and sold it... mistake!

I did find a LV Mark1 with all the documents, box and in perfect condition. Buyer wants my PAM 424 plus 500$, what do you think, it's a fair trade?

Thank you very much

Regards

Not sure about the money but considering both watches I'd do it in a heartbeat.

GsurgBM · 17 April 2015, 05:01 AM

Do it.

ya would do that STAT

Thank you for all your replies. Seller said that the LV never been polished, all looks perfect. He just doesn't have the plastic that protects the bezel and the anchor keyring... but documents, box, all there. I think it's not a bad idea considering that my 30th birthday will be in one month ;)

424 with date? Sounds like an okay trade, even if straight up would be more than reasonable.

As for OP service, it's really no better or worse than others, including Rolex.

kilyung · 17 April 2015, 05:33 AM

Go ahead.

Chewbacca · 17 April 2015, 05:34 AM

oui.

Yes, my Pam 424 it's the old 424, with date.

Seller was asking 8000$ for his Rolex and went down, down, down till he offer me this trade.

I don't like Pam service in Spain, I do prefer Rolex service and not only in Spain

This is just my personal opinion.

ROLEXELOR · 17 April 2015, 06:08 AM

Some photos of the Rolex

Seller said that the watch haven't been polished, but here the crown looks...

First time I see this, someone can explain to me what is it?

My Panerai 424

crowncollection · 17 April 2015, 06:11 AM

Go for it

Dittox · 17 April 2015, 06:34 AM

I'm sure we are a little bit biased in this forum, but I would go for it!

martinr · 17 April 2015, 07:19 AM

That PAM is $8300 brand new from an AD without any discount. Seems like a good trade considering yours is almost out of warranty and the date version seems less desirable.

watchwatcher · 17 April 2015, 07:23 AM

Definitely do that trade. Wouldn't even think about it.

Sam Philip · 17 April 2015, 07:38 AM

I have both and if I had to choose between the two, I would choose the LV

Well, I do prefer with date, hehehe. With Panerai you never know, maybe the 424 with date will become a highly collectible watch, but maybe after one year Panerai will come out with another Pam with similar dial and date and that's it.

This month the warranty will finish in my Pam, so I prefer to let it go. I do like Panerai, I had around 6 Pam in total, but I always sell them after one or two years.

This Rolex LV Mark 1 it's a beauty, nice watch!

ROLEXELOR · 17 April 2015, 07:43 AM

Thank you all for your time and advice! I really appreciate it.

nick c · 17 April 2015, 07:52 AM

So now you going from 47mm to 40mm

Well, I have now a Rolex DeepSea, that's 43/44mm, a Breitling B1 43mm and Speedmaster Moonphase 42mm.

I guess the perfect size for a watch is between 40-44mm.

With my old LV (the one I've sold three years ago) in Malaysia diving

And here with the instructor and two friends from Holland

Do it!

Al1969 · 17 April 2015, 12:58 PM

I say go for it!

ROLEXELOR · 17 April 2015, 03:30 PM

Thank you once again for your time. I really appreciate it.

Tomorrow will be the day, I'll meet the seller and see if there is any luck. If the watch looks like he said, new... I'll take it.

Is there anything I should check carefully? In the photos, do you see something that I should focus on?

Have a good weekend!

Fleetlord · 17 April 2015, 03:41 PM

Absolutely make that trade...

In 5yrs nobody will care about that Pam...but the Rolex will always be hot...
