That new watch itch is driving me crazy. I currently have an Exp 1 and LvC and am thinking about buying the PAM 000. With the new U.S. price reduction it is even more tempting.
However, I could also see myself flipping it down the road. If I can get it from an AD 10% under do you think that would prevent me from taking a big hit if I flipped it within the year?

Cru Jones · 4 May 2015, 11:38 PM

buy it pre-owned and don't worry. i would think getting any discount on a 000 (beyond a free strap or two) would be difficult.

nick c · 4 May 2015, 11:50 PM

Most AD don't have 000 so maybe find pre-owned good luck

subtona · 4 May 2015, 11:55 PM

000 is a solid choice!

Rickn · 4 May 2015, 11:58 PM

Unless they are boutique only, I'm fairly certain I can get a hold of it. I am anticpating ordering it sight unseen though. Like I said my concern is resale value. Would hate to see it spiral down like a Brietling on the secondary market.

I'll tell you what others have told me, when I was trying to decide, myself.

"Base is ace!"

And they were right. You'll likely never want to sell, I know I won't.

If you worried about resale then maybe don't buy one

Panerai just took care of that for you in the US, with a currency fluctuation price decrease.

Retail prior to May 1 was $5400.00

Retail now is $4500.00

This has always been a strong model on the pre-owned market.

CASH BUY prices from dealers are around $3300.00

SELL is $3700-$4000 depending on age, conditions...

It's one of the safer Panerai to buy in terms of resale...

So far even on eBay prices on 000 are high

Just buy it and enjoy it. Love mine 👍

Thsnks for the responses, if I pull the trigger I'll post it up!

Love the bases.

red1108nyc · 5 May 2015, 11:48 AM

Buy it! Worry about flipping later!

That first picture is awesome.

1995akcoop · 6 May 2015, 11:50 AM

great watch for what it is. I've owned 3 since 2008. Actually wouldn't mind another. All mine were bought brand new when prices were still in the mid 4k range. I always took a huge hit when it came time to flip them. Panerai does not hold value but dont let that stop you since the 000 has a low price tag to begin with. Do it, i soon will.

tomcorkery · 6 May 2015, 01:05 PM

buy pre owned and would think the hit wont be as bad. Pam prices have really dropped in the last year. i have a 372 and wont sell it because its taken such a hit. see them now for under 6k. paneristi has a collectors market and i see 112, 005, and 000 for under 4k.

wisguy · 6 May 2015, 02:43 PM

There are a couple for sale right here on the forum, jump on them.

I bought mine at the NY boutique and as expected I did not get a discount, three free straps though.

Dealers get them, but not very often, save the trouble and get one for around $4,300!

redsubby · 6 May 2015, 03:17 PM

Don't get one if you already think about flipping it.

This.

mikkolopez · 10 May 2015, 03:03 AM

Also on the lookout for 00. Base for me.

Have a 112 right now and not thinking of flipping it.

A wise WIS said to me once get a base Pams since new SRP would be affordable and most likely won't be that much of a hit should you flip vs the auto Pams.

Now i'd only get a base, safest bet if you're thinking of flipping.
