Currently I have a Breitling Bentley 6.75, Rolex Deepsea, and Panerai 111. My next purcahse will be to upgrade my Panerai to either a 312, 233, or 372 . Since getting the DSSD, I have only worn the B4B once. I have owned it for a few years and am thinking of selling it. My only fear is ill miss it and not be able to replace it for the same cost.

1. Should I sell the B4B and 111 to finance a 233 now
2. Wait for the 372 to come out and then sell the 2 watches
3. Keep the B4B, sell the PAM and get the 312 or save for the 233/372

On the whole, I dont really want to come out of pocket more than a couple grand. I really want to get a new (to me) Panerai, just afraid once the B4B is gone ill regret it.

what do ya think??

sticking to your "no more than a couple of k" you most likely could sell just the 111 and add a few $$$ for the 312,as for the 372,first you need to choose which you prefer,the 312 or 372,to me they are two totally different watches,I would try and not concentrate on the money side of things,pick a watch you want then work out how to get it.

I was just in the same boat, only I traded my BlancPain Fifty Fathoms and a Pam 104 for a 233. While I have to say I miss the FF somewhat, it did not get the writst time it deserved. After having the 233 for a while now, I have to say I won't have it any other way. Everytime I look at the 233 it smiles back at me.

Sage advice.

There are time when money should be a secondary consideration to avoid "buying twice".

I'll admit it would be a tough call between the 312 and 372 for me. As much as I understand the hoopla surrounding the 372 if only one Pam the 312 has a lot to offer.

I was in the same boat a little while ago. I decided to trade my 104 and a BlancPain Fifty Fathoms for a 233. I'll admitt it was hard to let the FF go, but every day I wear the 233 it smiles at me. If the Bentley does not get the wrist time it deserves then let her go.
