Classic Panerai Getting Hot Again
I’ve noticed a recent uptick in the value of my 111 Opx and 127 fiddy, while my Bronzo languishes at around the same price point of the past few years. I feel that there could be a resurgence in the early historical pieces. What do you guys think?

Hmmm... too busy wearing my 111. Good to know it’s is appreciating. My inability to get a bronzo or pronzo at a reasonable price had turned me off to buying any new Panerais to be honest.

Well, my last reply got moderated - probably because I used a bad word in there - but the short version (because I can’t retrieve the original to remove said word, and can’t be bothered to type it all out again) is ‘watch collection =/= stock portfolio’.
There is no ‘agreed value’ for a used watch, so any attempt to assign one - especially in the form of a ‘performance tracker’ is pretty ridiculous, IMO. If you look at your watch, and the first thing you see is it’s resale value, you may have bought the wrong watch. |

I’m glad I got my 111 earlier this year, been eyeing them for the past year or two.

Just been offered a 2019 968 bronzo at very low price, 30% off retail. What is going on with this piece? I thought it is the only Panerai that sells above msrp

I had been eyeing an 728 from a dealer, looks like it finally got snapped up! I think lots of spill over effects from Rolex making watches trendy lifting up non-Rolex brands now. (And of course Rolex benefiting from the oceans of Apple watch wearers making watches themselves part of a habit again).
Going for a night out violating quarantine? Do you break out the Apple watch of something more special? |

I wouldn't be surprised. Early Paneristi era was brilliant. I might need to dig some of mine out. Been far too long

I can't see myself ever parting with my Fiddy.

Could be either - but, again, if one measures ones ‘validation’ solely in £/€/$, there’s a deeper problem, IMO. Is the value of something to me only truly measured by assessing its value to others? It’s always interesting to have a conversation with folks about watches, but the monetary value of any given watch should not really enter into consideration. Interesting or innovative design, exemplary manufacturing/finishing, historical provenance/significance... these are the things that pique my interest. Give me a two-hour conversation with someone that bought an Omega 3570 Speedmaster because it’s the ‘quintessential Moon Watch’ over ten minutes listening to someone tell me how they managed to pick up a 116520 Daytona for MSRP, but now it’s worth x% more than that. |

This is just to add more context to my initial comments. C24 current “average” value against my purchase price. Neither of these watches were over +5% for several years

That’s some nice photography, how does the lume compare to the sandwich dial models ? Mine is a 2006 sandwich.

Thanks! The lume is still robust. I’ve never had a sandwich dial for comparison though. I’d guess that being right on the dial it’s probably more diffuse and likely brighter but pure speculation on my part.
