Panerai 127
What do we think of the Panerai 127? Worth it?

Well with the 217 it's for me THE 2 iconic 47mm Pams, depends on the price at this moment, 2 years ago they were around 15K or more, not worth it at that price IMO, especially it's not a very limited model since they made 1950 of them, for me the best are the 82, 36 and 217...

Love it my friend and as owner of the 217 can tell you they are amazing! I prefer the 217 though as I love the Marina Militare dial and unique Destro! It is also so comfortable to wear on left wrist as CG doesn't dig into wrist. Either way both well worth the money IMHO! Cheers,

pure classic modern panerai that will always have a following among the diehards.
personally, i love the font, non-ecru lume and dome as well as the place in panerai's modern history, all of which one has to appreciate, IMHO, to pay the premium over a 372. will it slowly depreciate from its prior lofty heights due to OP's continued re-issues? yes, probably, but, not as dramatically as compared to some other models. |

You have got to love the 127! Great piece and as some have said good time to buy as prices are lower now than a few years ago!

I didn't give Panerai the time of day till I started admiring your pics in instagram. They are really something else. I am trying to know the brand and figure out which are the worthy pieces. The 127 has taken a few minutes of sleep lately. I'll keep you posted. |

$13K a reach in my opinion...I know dealers who would pay that much for one right now. I'd say $15K more realistic IMHO.

You would definitely know better than I would. 13 is the number that would make me jump on it. If I was completely hooked, I could see going for 15. |

I went absolutely nuts when the "1940" 587 came out and then after some time I realized I'm a 1950s / superdome man at heart.
So yeah, I'd say the 127 is still one of the core PAM grails to date. Go for it. If you ever change your mind down the road, flipping it will be easy.

I sold my 127 for $16k. Haven't really felt a need for another Panerai since the 372.

I'd take a 127/217 all day long over 372 every day of the week and did. In fact had the 587 had normal lume and not the ecru or faux patina that would be killer option too. So for me 127/217 rules and will always be modern iconic Panrerai! The 372 is nice but just not the same to me.
