Just been told that after a 7 year wait, my SS Daytona has arrived !! Unfortunately, i got bored in the meantime and bought one new/used. What do these things sell for in the current climate?
Why don't you keep it and shorten the waiting list?I've said before, the only reason there is a waiting list, is because every ****
has their name down.
Then, when theirs comes through, they suddenly decide they don't want/need it but they want to know how much profit they can achieve.
Thus perpetuating the vicious circle that began, some years ago, when Daytonas really were sexy.
Go and buy a Panerai. hopefully you'll be stuck with it but you could then join Paneristi.com and pretend it's the greatest thing since sliced bread, while losing thousands
Yes i have a panerai. 'er indoors liked the look

And i didn't order it to sell for a profit, i just had no idea it would take 8 years to arrive. After 5 years i came into a few quid and decided to stump up for one. Hence the spare now.

Not a Panerai fan then? No Panerai will loose you £000's btw.
Not, not a fan, a realist. I can buy a no-name chinese homage, made with a copy of the same movement, made of the same materials, even PVD or Titanium , for 100 pounds. I'm sure Cyberface will be along soon to tell me that for another £20 I could get one an AD would think was real, until viewed under an electron microscope... But, he would be correct.Overpriced tat, £4000, 'cause she liked the 'pillow' shape! Yeah right.
Only folks that will pay anything near list for a used Pam are folks wanting to buy into the club... Morons in other words.

te. I'll stick to the real thing ta.Panerai is the biggest rip off, marketing to wanabees, practical joke, there has ever been.
Go ask the owners of the company, Richemont, why they suddenly started sponsoring expensive, sports/pastimes, with a brand no-one had ever heard of - and that includes fans of Sly Stallone.
And while I'm here, I may as well double post this off my chest...
...I've a Radomir, with a model number, say, eleventy eleven. My buddy has EXACTLY the same watch, but with a dif' model number?
There are about 40 billion versions of Panerai, but apart from Cali' dials and a real awkward waterproofing doohicky for the crown. THEY'RE ALL THE FECKING SAME.
Oh, except Slytech, which they no longer make, it seems, so losers can collect them.
And all the fakes I've seen have the same flaw, not that anyone would notice - but it's the cannon pinion. Again, I'm sure Cyberface knows someone that will, [picard]make it so[/picard]

You want to sell an extant watch to a dealer for a profit for yourself, taking a list price watch off the market.
Tell you what.
Why don't you sell it to me for list? I have a white gold on Croc, but not an ss. Deal?
Eh ??? Taking a list price watch off the market ?? How do you work that out? It's not in the market, it's only available to me. I bought a brand new one from a dealer a few years ago for a premuim. I am now selling the one i have just got for very close to that premuim. Net effect is i have had a Daytona 3 years earlier than if i had waited, for about the same price. I paid the dealer network the premuim, they are now returning it to me.Tell you what.

Whether you keep the watch, "only available to you", or sell it and keep the other one, that you paid a 'premium' for, brand new from a dealer, you are keeping some other poor soul waiting for their list price ss Daytona.
You have two, you want to sell the other for a profit. You are one of the reasons there is a waiting list.
