Can I please get a few suggestions on which Panerai GMT watch I should get and why? Please consider resale value. Thanks.

Resale and Panerai aren't usually uttered in the same sentence. Just get what you like.

I personally like the 233 as a 12-hr GMT.

I'm not sure what you mean, Mike. Beyond Rolex and Patek, it seems that OP holds its value best (sticking with the main references, of course).

As for GMT, 233, 320 and 88 are good choices.

I'd say 233 also. I'm also a big fan of the 12-hour GMT vs. the 24-hour .

PAM resale value in the meantime is not as good as Rolex.

Pam88 is nice too. Even its cheaper than 233.

I still remember my first Pam (88) was on 2005.

233, but get the "dot" model, can find mint condition for 7400 euros up to 8000, chrono24 have a few, for comparison the new in AD costs 10.900, for resale you might loose a little but don't think very much, the "dot" isn't made anymore and most paneristis really like it. At the same time it's such a great watch I don't see how someone would want to sell it, I know mine will stay until the end...
