Officine Panerai

i am thinking of getting one that i found from original owner. This would be my first PAM. Seller says it is rare. Curious if it is a worthy PAM and one that may hold its value? Plz advise. Thanks If I get I will take opicts and post.

It depends on what you are looking for. It is not a Historic Pam, if that is your first choice. These are more contemporary Radiomir's and are a touch smaller at 42mm versus larger the size of the more traditional 44mm or 45mm PAM's. To me, I like these 4... 

Yes it is no longer in production, but it's not "rare" IMO. It's held it's value as good as other Panerai's, so you shouldn't take a beating if you decide to resell in the future. Cheers, Anthony

but then again not in some others go after it if you like it if you are after gaining monetary bonus you'll always end disappointed Watches are to love and wear not make financial flips Just my 2 HRK All the best Damian

is not rare and the chance of appreciating in value, given the lack of historical significance, would not be high. But then again, how important is that to you? Do you like the watch itself? If so that's all that matters!

Or else this passion of yours, which i hope is truly a passion for you won't be fun at all. Decide on the timepiece if you REALLY REALLY love it! Do let us know about your catch! Ciao Stephen

If you really feel like having it and carrying it, go for it!, If not, forget it, any time invested in the process of getting it and then trying to sell it will be waisted! Cheers and good luck. Cheers. Luc
