Feeler - PAM 1441 Ceramica GMT

Considering selling this watch as much as i love it- just super concerned with bumping into something and once the ceramic goes, so does the watch =\\\

As a first time seller, any ideas? i considered BOBS consignment but i hear they keep 25%

ebay? they appear to offer a guarantee?

The issue with Chrono24 is that from reading opinions on this forum it doesn’t appear that most people are comfortable buying from a private seller. Certainly there are many people here who have successfully sold through Chrono24 as private sellers, so it just may be a matter of time to find a buyer. Good luck.

Might as well offer it to one of the Grey sellers here, they may buy it from you. I would try that first to gauge what you should expect in reality.

Do your research and see what the watches are being offered for on the secondary market. Then take 25% off and that, give or take a bit will be what you will get from a Trusted Seller or other dealer. Not bad depending on what you have in the watch. I would get on the phone unless you are know to the dealer and have a conversation, not an email. These dealers get all kinds of emails everyday and you will probably only get lowball offers back. It is difficult to sell many watches and the process can de daunting. Just see what you can do and make an informed decision. Good luck.

Doesn’t Panerai tout this as being an extremely durable watch? 5X the hardness of steel? Has there been a history of these watches breaking regularly? If not, then I say keep the watch because you said you love it.
