Out of Range - to buy or not to buy
Hi to all, I have recently posted a message on Out of Range Panerai watch, and thanks to all those who voiced their honest opinion. All agreed that OOR represent no added value to the existing range, and even unfair to those who got the original series. To me, OOR model is normally refer to model already out of production and no longer available, and that Panerai might have a few left-overs during that limited production run, so they stamped OOR on the back and sell them off, and correct me if I am wrong in assuming this.
What if someone wanted a particular model and it has been out of production since and no longer available anywhere except through secondhand dealer or auction. He then come across an OOR watch from the series he was after, should he go ahead and buys it or stay away saying it has no real meaning or significance in collecting such a piece? It is still a Panerai, it just doesn't carry any limited edition numbers or series numbering.
The main reason why I am so intrigued in this "OOR" topic is that I have been offered not one but a few brand new OOR Panerai by Panerai Boutique. Usually models that are no longer in production, and OOR in very very low quantity. It's damn difficult to say no thanks since the original series/production has long gone, and for me, may be a chance to own one from that era, but being an OOR. To buy or not to buy, that's the question.
Much appreciate to hear readers on this topic.
