Maybe yes, maybe no, but I don’t think the 932 will have the same appreciation potential as the 690...
The 690 will always sell for at least 10% more than retail... The 932 will be in a range of 10% discount to 10% premium, depending on condition and seller... The differences in the PAMs make the 690 a clear winner...sunburst blue dial b gradient blue dial and gold hands v silver hands... Even the writing in the dial is nicer on the 690 |

Thanks for the description of the differences. I didn’t realize the 932 has a gradient dial. It’s hard to see from the pictures. Can you describe the gradient part better? Is it still all blue or does it fade to black like the Deepsea Deep Blue? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

The 932 and 946 are from the mediteraneo series
The blue is different than the standard blue that panerai uses. I had a 945, but I found I cant wear 45mm anymnore, so I got the 933. Same blue, beautiful in person.

Yes and no. While it is my opinion, it’s a pretty educated one. There is no doubt that gold hands are more desirable than silver hands. Whether you like the gradient t dial or sunburst dial more is a matter of opinion, but when you take supply and demand plus desirability into account, it would be a strange day for the 932 to ever trade more than a 690. Sorry.

I just added a 932 today! The blue dial is amazing! Also, the watch wears more like my 233 did, but better. As for which is better or more desirable between the 690 & 932, I think I prefer the one on my wrist!!
While all hypotheticals are exactly that, I can tell you the opinion of the masses change like the weather. I had a 233 and wow did that bomb after a couple of years. I made up for it with my PP 5726/1a though! That watch went from an ugly duckling into a swan big time.

Personally I like 690 better than 932,but I prefer 47mm watch to have titanium case and screwbar not springbar (for extra security)

To be completely honest, I bought the 932 because I like it. I could buy just about any watch I want and I chose it. You sound like you’re missing your bridge.

Of course that may be an individual or two who claims to enjoy the 932 over the 690–like I said, the 932 is a beauty. But given that there are 500 690s in production and only 388 932s, one has to admit that its interesting that the 690s are listed for 15-20% more than the 932s. I think the market made its own bridge here. |

the 932 is an amazing piece, glad you’re happy with her, no matter what others say.
