soft prices...
So, for those that keep up; what has the current ecconomic condition done to Panerai prices? Seems some of the more obscure models have gone a little soft in price while such bread'n butter watches like the 88 have held up rather well in price... comments?

A simple concept of supply and demand! Nothing new really...
It's always a given that those popular models will always command a better resale and higher price quotient. The 88 is one of those higher demand pieces. ![]()

Many luxury watch brands, ironically or not, have faired well during the "downturn." Assuming you're talking about the U.S. market, yes, they've done reasonably well on prices as a whole. 88 or otherwise. These guys get to compete globally and Asia is the hot spot for the time being. Let's not forget the Swiss franc either.

Glad to heart at the prices of the 88 are holding up, though don't think I'll be shifting it any time soon as it's one of my favs...
