One observation I have seen is that PAM secondary market price seems to be going down for some models strangely, I am trying hard to understand the phenomenon from Paneristis.. Some 2015/2016 are going for prices even way cheaper than 2014

Having said, I'm still a big fan of theirs owning both 005 & 590

This is true. I've been asking around grey market dealers and they said the flooding of PAM supply into the market has caused original and secondary values to decline.

I am a huge Panerai fan. Over the years I have bought the PAM 90, 512 and 392. I have sold the PAM 90 and 392 for the same reasons - they look amazing but after wearing them for a few hours you can feel the weight on your wrist. For most PAM fans they like the weight and the wrist presence, but I personally prefer slim and light watches though I really like the looks of the Luminor and Radomir collections. The PAM 512 is perfect, its got the PAM looks but is smaller (42mm), lighter and thinner, all in all a very comfortable watch to wear for long periods.

The new PAM due watches are gonna be great, they are exactly the type of PAM I (and a lot of people) wanted. Cant wait to see them at the ADs.

Started being a fan of Panerai about 4 yrs ago. Got a 321 as my 1st, then sold it and got a 372, then added a 504. Then sold my 372 and regretted the sell for half a yr. now just ordered a 423 to fill the hole. Just love it.

Just for the knowledge, is the warranty valid to be sent to sc if buying panerai from grey dealer/market?

Yeap the warranty is valid provided all details can be identified on the card.

Reading that blogpost, I can agree with points 2, 4 and 6 raised by the author.

Having said that, I feel that now is a good time to pick up a Panerai as prices aren't as high as before.

Shoulder check on the 512

i think modestly sized panerai with simple dial is the best... evergreen... timeless design..
suitable for dress n casual...

Wonder why there is no Panerai boutique in KL ?

panerai has boutiques in Manila , Bangkok , Singapore , chengdu , Argentina , Oman, Istanbul , Mumbai...and many outlets in China , HK & Macau .. But not in KL?

Malaysia market too small ?? Or maybe our grey importer too strong ?

Never been much of a fan besides the original Radiomir. Think about it, what other watch company only has two main designs in their entire line-up?

dannyojw · « **Reply #88 on:** June 13, 2016, 01:32:09 PM »

in my personal opinion, those days when panerai come out with 1 watch a year make the watch value rise. however nowaday with more than 1 series out a year kinda reduce the watch value.

Not too sure how to categorise PAM?

A fashionable watch? A tool watch? A collectible watch?

Had a PAM112 which I just sold recently for RM13k. Problem free for 4 Years. It does get scuffs & rashes easily, especially around the bazel. Regarding the brand popularity, was told by 2 watch dealers, market for Panerai is slower now. They have either stop or bringing in lesser new Panerais now. Hope this helps..

It' glory days may be over but its here to stay nevertheless..have a PAM111 that was worn by my wife ever since the first day bought it. Strangely enough i prefer my navitimer over this all time.

Still spotted a lot of Panerai in my area due to its large dail and unique crown protector very easy to identified, still on saving mode might add a pre-owned into my collection soon

turinbrakes · « **Reply #94 on:** November 01, 2016, 02:28:03 PM »

was once really crazy over PAMs..but somehow it wears off..just keeping one for whenever feeling like wearing it. But still their in house movements are beauties
