Radiomir 1940 Oro Rosso 513
Considering this watch to add to collection and looking for opinions on this version of the radiomir collection. Really don't need to get another watch but have always liked the Panerai version in rose and have an opportunity to get one now. Does this watch seem to hold its value over time and does the brown dial get old over time as well for those that might own one? Thanks.
Gold Panerais....
except for WG, because it looks like SS, don't fare well in the...holding value...department. It has to do with the "rough and rough" military history of the brand, I'm afraid. I have a rose gold one that I couldn't...give away FOR FREE, let alone get back it's purchase value 
Ciao
Naaahhhhh, it has a JLC inside. I'll wait for you....
to get..senile...and full of Panerai nostalgia, and then I'll offer it to you...hahahahaha
Ciaooooo
Apparently no love for Oro Rosso
It appears that this piece offers little to the Paneristi faithful and may be one to pass on with the reviews that i have received thus far. Thanks for the input.
Not only Rosso, even Pink&Yellow have the same...
lack of appeal on 90% of the..die hard/grass roots...Paneristi. As I wrote, white gold (and platinum) make it....just....only because the are close enough to SS.
Why are you wanting to purchase this calibre
of Panerai for it's maybe resale value???
For an investment ?
If so IMO you won't have any fun w/ it ,
buy it because you love it, but it most likely won't hold any resale-value due too no Historical truth to Paneristies.
But ohhhh !!! that mvmnt it holds/displays ...I'd wear it inside out if it were mine.
If you love the watch, then my all means get it
If you want to get buy the Panerai for investment sakes, then I'd pass on it.
For Panerai in general, stainless steel watches seem to hold value better than those made in precious metals such as rose gold.

Why I am considering this purchase
That is not the main reason to buy it but always considering what the consensus on that subject is before buying. I like Radiomirs and have owned one before and only got rid of it due to a constant stem problem probably due to my overwinding. That is a concern here as well . However i love the readability of the watch and the rose is beautiful on this piece. I do recognize that stainless steel is the norm in Panerai and in my Luminor I would only own is SS. The radiomir does allow the ability to be worn in more formal and casual settings as well and is more comfortable on the wrist in the 42mm size and the thiness of the watch.
Does that reasoning makes sense or just stay with my Pateks and Rolex Cellini's for the purposes that I mentioned that I would probably wear the Radiomir?

Your reasoning makes perfect sense
Plus, strapping on the Radiomir would give you a nice break from your Pateks and Rolexes. I fear they might get jealous over time as you may be wearing the Panerai more often
