Help me decide PAM525 or Rolex

[mvera339]

Soo little by little I've been trying to increase my watch collection (mainly Rolex) and fell in love with Panerai. . . lucky for me, my wife bought me my first for our wedding. . Im in the market now for another piece and my watch contact gives me a call that he has a PAM525 that he can leave at a great price. . .the watch retails for $27,200.00. . . he will let it go for $20k (Panerai Dealer) I never thought of a red gold panerai added to my collection, but after seeing it in person. . the watch is a beauty.

after doing some research on this forum, I've noticed not many people are into the red gold. what are your thoughts on this watch? or should I stick my money into a Rolex.

Thanks for the help guys.

Rolex.

I like the red, but I’d probably go sky dweller once I got up near there.

1) If you’re a flipper, don’t buy gold.
2) If you don’t have a Gold Rolex, I’d get that first.

RG Panerai is both a blessing and a curse. It’s a gorgeous piece and looks stunning in the sun. Sadly you’ll be lucky to retain 60% of the cost. If you’re going to hold onto it then buy it. If there’s a chance you’ll flip then look for a better deal.

I'd probably go PM for Rolex and SS or Ti for Panerai, although the 525 is a beauty.
