Resale Value - Panerai

[prmny36]

Agree there are alternatives but for the same money I struggle to find a brand that has a similar level of style and distinction. Not disagreeing there may be several candidates but interested in what people would go for as an alternative, especially in larger sizes?

Lol Pam making a statement like RM? Die laugh me 😂😂😂

+1. LOL, agree with you. Obviously guy making statement is a fan boy . I like PAM too but think the brand is so diluted these days. For sure won't be buying any new PAM for the foreseeable future, there are so many alternatives out there to be enjoyed

If you had indeed ingested the full context of my last para - not a selected extract, or a narrow abstract, to suit yourself - your reading wouldn't be out of sync with my assertion.

The boom days of Pam, in respect of crazy prices, are truly over. It will never happen again as that boom generation, which made the brand cult-like famous, like those in Paneristi.com, leave the brand for good being disappointed with the direction Panerai's taking.

Avoid Special Edition (SE) releases, if you're afraid of resale value loss, as Panerai's policy is to produce re-releases from time to time that kills the resale of the earlier release.

Like any other watch, buy a Pam to wear for pleasure, not to make money. Watches, in general, make the worst investment.

Above said, Pams are still the sexiest, coolest watch one can wear for men and women, for it's price point and range. When you're wearing a Pam, you're making a statement like a Richard Mille at the very top end. Very few watch brands have that cachet.

Well, only issue if you take a closer look: most of them are fake!

The fakes are scarily accurate though. I'm still finding a way to distinguish between the genuine and fake without opening up the caseback to have a look at the movement. On the wrist, it's virtually impossible to find any discrepancies.

Too many models and diluting the brand. New models are the worst. Buy old models, don't waste money on new ones

I have to agreed, the new model are getting uglier each year, I bought a pam 351 and still loving it today.

I feel improved a bit , may take some time before it stabilizes . However i feel the worst is over for this brand

[FlyingTiger]

Very common to see it even when taking MRT, at least 3 to 4 persons wearing Pams too.

Hence, this brand is popular and easy to be seem on the wrists.

Get Rolex if u r afraid of getting burned. Get Pam if u wanna look awesome.

[geoteow]

Anyone got badly burnt by Panerai?

[VeeLee]

Resale Value

As usual, OP has suffered a sales drop in term of value, loyalty, love from watch collectors all over the world.
Nevertheless, there is still a pool of "hardcore" supporters since day 1.
Even though , the brand is getting recognized by new owners' or collectors' due to good marketing strategy by Richmont group.
Let's hope that the prices of the older models will remain stable otherwise, it's very sad to hear and see that most collectors' are letting-off their collection.😊
