All Original

[B. Doggy]

So I hear folks here talk about sending their beloved PAM in for servicing, etc and Panerai comes back to them saying this or that needs replacing. It could be a dial, crown, whatever. However, do you think this is wise? I know that collectors tend to look for such things and I think many Panerai out there will eventually be collectible. Just curious.

Your thoughts are appreciated!

That being said, I'm not in collector's market category, so I'm inclined to not worry the small details like that. if a part needs to be replaced, so be it. It's sum of all parts that makes a Panerai. Let me put other way, replacing OEM strap with third party ones would nullify that exact definition of "100% original" meaning to anal collectors, right?

The strap ideology you bring up is true; however, I know I always keep the original OEM. This completes the package so to speak.
