What do we think of the Panerai 127? Worth it?

lapince · 15 May 2015, 01:55 PM

Well with the 217 it's for me THE 2 iconic 47mm Pams, depends on the price at this moment, 2 years ago they were around 15K or more, not worth it at that price IMO, especially it's not a very limited model since they made 1950 of them, for me the best are the 82, 36 and 217...

el1125 · 15 May 2015, 02:08 PM

Beautiful watch. Big size.

HL65 · 15 May 2015, 07:01 PM

Love it my friend and as owner of the 217 can tell you they are amazing! I prefer the 217 though as I love the Marina Militare dial and unique Destro! It is also so comfortable to wear on left wrist as CG doesn't dig into wrist. Either way both well worth the money IMHO! Cheers,

To be honest Ken... this is all your fault

I didn't give Panerai the time of day till I started admiring your pics in instagram. They are really something else. I am trying to know the brand and figure out which are the worthy pieces. The 127 has taken a few minutes of sleep lately. I'll keep you posted.

pure classic modern panerai that will always have a following among the diehards.

personally, i love the font, non-ecru lume and dome as well as the place in panerai's modern history, all of which one has to appreciate, IMHO, to pay the premium over a 372.

will it slowly depreciate from its prior lofty heights due to OP's continued re-issues? yes, probably, but, not as dramatically as compared to some other models.

It already has quite a bit thus for me a great time to buy!

The 127 is a great piece got it if the price is right good luck

B. Doggy · 16 May 2015, 01:50 AM

One of my favs

jay_kay · 16 May 2015, 02:52 AM

You have got to love the 127! Great piece and as some have said good time to buy as prices are lower now than a few years ago!

travisb · 16 May 2015, 03:25 AM

Big fan. A definite yes at the right price.

In my opinion, around 13k US for a complete set.

texex91 · 16 May 2015, 05:22 AM

It's a good looking one!

travisb · 16 May 2015, 05:52 AM

There's good deals out there. Keep looking if you're hooked.
It's a great piece!

subtona · 16 May 2015, 08:01 AM

gone but a great watch

Travelller · 16 May 2015, 08:48 AM

I went absolutely nuts when the "1940" 587 came out and then after some time I realized I'm a 1950s / superdome man at heart.

So yeah, I'd say the 127 is still one of the core PAM grails to date. Go for it. If you ever change your mind down the road, flipping it will be easy.

Urosfan · 16 May 2015, 11:07 AM

Sweet piece for sure

kilyung · 16 May 2015, 12:05 PM

I sold my 127 for $16k. Haven't really felt a need for another Panerai since the 372.

I agree Mike 372 is the only Pam you need

I'd take a 127/217 all day long over 372 every day of the week and did. In fact had the 587 had normal lume and not the ecru or faux patina that would be killer option too. So for me 127/217 rules and will always be modern iconic Panrerai! The 372 is nice but just not the same to me.

No disagreement from me but for my purposes, I'd rather use the cost difference between the 127 v 372 towards a Patek or PM Rolex than have it locked up in a Panerai. The 372 satisfied my Panerai lust at a significant savings over the 127.

I agree 100% 127/217 is the best Panerai ever made

372 is great but I just feel that you would be wanting that little more. I would take 127 all day, such an iconic Panerai, pure DNA and unmistakable

I agree. The 127 just feels special.

Any current/recent thoughts on the 127 — still a grail among the many recent releases?

What’s a good price these days?

For sure - the 127 will remain a grail as long as there are Paneristi

The price over the past 10 years has been a very stable 12-16K€ depending on condition / box & papers etc.

I myself have the 217 which I picked up roughly eight years ago. It's staying put in my collection for now although I'll admit my rotation as of late have been pieces in the 39-44mm range so that the 217 spends less time on my wrist and more in the safe. There are however enough guys that are happier with big, 44~47mm watches, ensuring 47mm PAMs are here to stay, regardless of trends.

subtona · 6 July 2022, 11:35 AM

Had it for a brief time.

Just found it too big.

I would opt for a 111 and be done.
