I wish I get into both reps/gens 2 years ago too now all my favorite watches are ridiculous in price.

It's ok just wait until Panerai makes a model thats 'historic' to the 201A...I will be buying that one without thinking twice!

Invest in Gold right now, it's at around $850/Oz. they predict it will go up to $1,000 (again) in 2-3 months.

Amen! I started buying gold at $300 an ounce, paper money is back by nothing but debt, barely any physical assets to speak of back it. When markets crash, no one will be buying watches to hedge inflation, it's a luxury good, not a mode of exchange like gold. Five grand on a watch would be better in gold; if it triples, hell cash a portion in and buy that gen when everyone is scrabbling for cash.

Gold is very good. But over the last 3 years the Fiddy has been a better investment. And so have the better Rolex vintages. :D

H_U...funny how that whole Panerai 'mania' is...it's also affected the rep market in a good way. Well made and nicely modded Pam reps with Swiss mov'ts are now going rougly for 100-120% on top of their original price.

Some reps like 27/28/29/63/188/196 with original ETA2892/2893/7753 movt's are now selling second-hand for double their original price, even unmodded. (Assuming you got them at the right price point for cca $500, when they hit the market in late '05 / early '06).

:wink:
