houndoggie 58 Posted November 17, 2009 1. Seller is original owner, purchased from Forum AD on WUS. One year left on warranty. $1500 (a little above what the going rate is for used) 2. Seller is not original owner, no warranty $1275 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KinCaidk 0 Posted November 17, 2009 I wouldn't care about the warranty and original owner. I would take the one in the better condition. They both look well and without scracthes (what I can see from the pics anyway) So I would probably go with the cheapest one... but then again... I am a cheapskate I hate you for buying my grail watch btw! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted November 17, 2009 How did you tag a watch you don't have yet? Anyway, I would go with the first choice. Maybe offer him $1400.00. Are they located in the states? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

greg_r 82 Posted November 17, 2009 The pic on the second one is so poor it's a little difficult to see what you're getting.. I'd be tempted to lowball the first one - offer him $1350 and see how he responds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AustinTech 0 Posted November 17, 2009 I woulda gone for #2 as well. I don't put a whole lot of value on the warranty. These watches are tough as nails and not particularly complex or expensive to repair. DO IT the lume on those is sweet. I love the band also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Feel very comfortable about it.. the seller insist I call him before I send the money.. Nice guy. He won't sell a watch unless he can talk to you about it. You don't get that too often.

sconehead 5 Posted November 17, 2009 HD, with all these gens, you're not a relation of Jetmid are you??? Great looking watch and IMO for what it's worth you made the right choice... Only question is, why no gen Pam yet? I tried a few on at an AD the other week and to be perfectly honest they seemed no better than their rep counterparts. For the money they cost, I was a bit disappointed really... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the money they cost, I was a bit disappointed really... In Hawaii, I tried on a few Panerai at the AD... the 233, the 088, and a Ferrari model... Was disappointed just like you. Would never buy a gen at the prices Panerai sell them. I'd rather stick to the homages from now on. (sold all the reps.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
