hi guys,

tom ill buy a pam005j it has a small ding thats almost unnoticeable and it will come with 4 leather straps..

Questions..

1st --- is the use of cap cad cleaner is safe for a Panerai watch specially for 005 model..

2nd --- u think 005 model will increase, decrease or just hold its value..

3rd --- its a LNIB condition u think USD $3850 is a good price (4 leather straps,complete papers,3x box and all other stuff)


sorry if new in watch specially in PAMs

Thanks

Price seems relatively fair I suppose especially if it has some good straps included, but if there's a ding, I wouldn't expect a cape cod to take it out. Cape cod cloth is fine to use on the watch, however.

Do u think later on the value will increase or decrease?!? Im wondering if 005j is a keeper?

Hard to say. I usually just assume all watches will go down in Value, and buy with that assumption unless its a Special Edition of some sort.

ok sir thanks for the fast reply..

i was thinking if it will be a good investment and later on i can sell it like after 8yrs.. and at the same time enjoy the watch..

Thanks sir
justin

i thought that will the brand new price increases the 2nd hand pieces will increase also?


does it work that way or not?

Not quite. If you buy a PAM90 new for $7800 today, and then go and sell it next year when the retail goes up to $8000 or something, you will still have to sell it for $5500 or something, and then you will still be out $2300.

Don't know how you can make money on that.

yeah so i guess the for money value is to buy a pre-loved watch so i can avoid losing money..

just a thought..

If you buy pre-owned, you can avoid the initial hit on the value - and then you may get lucky and have the resale go up or stay the same.
