IMHO...While current series (F/G/H) prices are steady or lower, I see the Tritium<mor

pieces continuing to increase......

All of my information shows that the "A" series, 127 etc, Pre-Vendome and a few neo-vintage watches continue to rise at a rapid rate yet the LNIB have held steady or have gone down in price....

What do you think the reasons are?

I think the collector's are showing that the "Tritium" Panerai are a limited commodity that cannot be duplicated. I also think that as people get more and more into Panerai the appreciation (love thereof not $$)of Panerai watches and history continues to soar.

Yet, While people flock to these pieces, there may just be a bit of a "glut" of LNIB for the time being. The price increase will allow these pieces prices (say that 3 time aloud) to steady at the risk of making a bit of an over supply of the new models at higher prices....

Of course, this is my opinion and I welcome yours.

Hi Elliot,


I'm sure the influx of LNIB watches on the market does happen in situations like this. Although with Panerai now, I'm not so sure. A Panerai is a reasonable outlay for your average Joe. And I do believe that for a lot of Panerai owners it is their only high-end watch. So for the amount of peoplpe now interested in their history there are many more who are simply interested in the Kudos factor. Panerai are almost a high street brand now in my opinion. Surely the Paneristi, who would not trade up but simply add to a collection, cannot have that much of an effect on the Panerai market now that it is so much bigger.:001_unsure:
