Well the beauty of selling watches to friends is you may still be able to take your ex for a spin once in a while
Selling a piece to a friend is also a pleasure. And you can see it often by the way. Best Ø
Selling it to a mate is always better than to a complete stranger.
the 36 would be the last of my watches I would consider selling, to either friends or foes. Even then, my asking price might ensure nobody, in their right state of mind, would consider....buying
But then I think I sold it for a good reason which helps.
I would love to have one some day and wish Panerai kept making models more like this and less like the modern collection.
