The Panerai Source Forums

Hi all,

I have always thought it strange if someone could not make up their own mind on a watch without seeking advice from others, but I am now in that same situation and don't actually know what to do.....

I put my order in for a 312 a long time ago and was told I would probably not get one due to the rarity of them... ... However, I got a call the other day to say that my new 312 has arrived and is ready to collect. er... wow... i didn't expect that!

I have two other panerai that I don't really want to get rid of (111k and 250j) but is this an opportunity not to miss? I could buy this aswell, but am struggling with the whole justification of spending £4k+ on another watch.

I suppose that i am wondering whether I could enjoy it for a while and sell it without too much of a loss? how rare are they?

I do not buy watches to sell on, but as I have two that I really like I would only really shell out another £4k for something that is rarer than most...

I nice dilemma to have i guess, but a dilemma nonetheless!

Any views genuinely appreciated!

i would suggest that you go with what makes your heart beat faster. i myself have a 312,got it last month. it is quite a classic and i love the luminor 1950 case. why don't you check it out at the AD first before making a final decision. cheers!

... so I now own a 312. I went to have a look at it yesterday and couldn't resist!

I do need to move something else on though.

They have a new base left hander in the window. I thought this was a slightly more dificult piece to come by...

Cheers

Congrats on your new Pam....i guess wat seehoo said was right...see if it makes your heart beat faster...heheh

i guess you have to move some others things....cheers

congrats on your new Pam312!

I had the same problem. I went to my AD a week ago to have a look and talk Panerais.
I asked if they had any of the new P9000 series. I was told that they only had one that was reserved for somebody...
Well now they called me and told that that person did by something else.

So now I will be picking it up later this week.

hope to see some pics soon,sadolin!

Congrats on your new purchase. That seemed to be the problem when it comes to Panerai, isn't it. Many a times people pop into the AD with the intention of just having a look, but they end up coming out with one neatly wrapped around the wrist.
