Hi all. After years of ignoring Panerai, something in me clicked and now they're all I can think about.

I've spent some time at AD's, and at a Panerai boutique so I'm getting to know the brand a little bit. The newer pams are super nice and there are a few that I'd buy under $7,000. I'm looking at older pams too though, online, and the prices are nice. A lot of choices under $6,000.

(Honestly I'd love to sell a Sub 116610ln and get a Luminor and a Radiomir!)

Anyway, I'm considering going the second hand route for this and am hoping someone here can tell me about a good experience they've had buying Panerai on the second hand market. Who's trustworthy? Chrono24, Crown and Caliber, Watchbox, David SW, Watchmaxx? I've been combing all the pages. The Chrono24 I suppose would depend on the seller...

Thanks for your help!

Thanks Nick C. I'll check out his collection again.

Agree with Nick. David will look after you and that's where I would go if I wanted pre-loved and I lived in North America.

Not that I want to put ideas in your head but he has a T serial (2017) 233 for $9,175, which is just over $3k below retail.

Good luck

There are a number of second hand dealers that are great to work with, as well as ADs that buy and sell previously loved watches. Govberg is an example of one AD that you can trade with. Chad warrick on the left coast buys and sells Panerai's. Bruce Ginsberg is another. If you are in NYC, I am happy to meet up and help you with selection/advice re Panerai.

Bought from Govberg in the past. Top notch.
