Not quite so clear cut as saying simply that Rolex hold their values better than Panerai. Sure, some Panerais tank on value but some Rolex, such as SS Sub, BLNR, Daytona, certain Pepsi GMTS and D-Blue hold their value way better than others. DJs, Explorers and OPs for example, can be picked up at reasonable prices when pre-loved as can some TT and PM sports references.

Perhaps consider sitting on the 389 for a few months without wearing it and see how you feel then. You might change your mind. Good luck
