A Watch for

....ever? How many of you guys think you'll keep your Panerai(s) forever? I know I sure LOVE my 190 and think it might be a collector piece in the future.

I just can't stop thinking about the 233 I want though.

I've flipped a lot of watches in my short time "collecting". I've never bought one intending to flip it, but invariably there's something else calling my name..but not this time. My 24 isn't leaving anytime soon. I've wanted it for so long and I get so much joy from seeing it on my wrist! I hope to enjoy this watch for many years.

I agree...the 190 will be a nice collector's piece in the future. I too am craving a 233...good luck on your hunt...

I have to agree... Didn't think I would flip... But, I do think about it from time to time and did flip one of my Rolex for PAM...

I strongly recommend the 233 - it is just an awesome watch and a great purchase - I am sure I will always have it.

Flipped all the Rollies,but have never flipped a PAM

Never say never,but unlikely.Then again,is like a share.Its worth what someone is prepared to pay for it.Now,if a 127 heads my way,thats great,BUT one or two will have to go.Now thats the question .... Which ??? Thats depressing !!! I dont think I will be able to sell any of my current PAMs.They are all special to me !!!

I can't prediction my future. Maybe someday I'm bore with Panerai? Who knows?
But for now, I really enjoy Panerai, and I want to keep 'em as long as I can.

i have to say i have never flipped a watch (yet) i thought of flipping my Breitling but then again i got to attached to it.... it seems every time i thought of flipping a watch, the story of how i got it, the time spend looking for and it etc, comes back to mind, it seems every watch now has its own little live story.. so i just save up again instead of fliping ....

X2, every time that I go my AD and he offers something new he always ask the question why don't you trade this watch for this one and when I start a lot of things comes to mind, as soon as I say to my kids I'm going to get rid of a watch they stop me as they're wearing my watches more and more. not all of them ok
