Panerai Radiomir 1940 3 Days Automatic PAM 572 - PAM 00572 THE SELLER
If you’re active in the watch community, you will have no doubt heard the phrase, “buy the seller”. Thus, it seems fitting to start here with a small introduction.
I guess I would refer to myself as a collector and enthusiast. I got into watches, in a big way, 6 years ago. Since then I’ve learned a great deal. I’ve watched countless YouTube videos, spent hours on forums, and visited untold number of AD’s and boutiques around the world. I’ve been to live watch events and talked at length with other fellow community members. I’ve had the privilege of experiencing hundreds of watches first-hand, across many types, brands, and price points.
Throughout this journey, I have purchased nearly 120 watches for my collection, selling more than 80 of these watches on to new homes. Being party to over 200 watch transactions, I think it is fair to say I’ve got some experience. I try to sell watches the way I would like other sellers to do when I am the buyer. I try to make sure that the pictures I provide are above-average, thereby allowing one to get a good look at the cosmetic condition. If I know there are flaws beyond very light normal wear, I will disclose it. If I know of mechanical issues, I will disclose it. Nearing 100 sales, I have yet to hear from anyone who was disappointed with the watch they received.
As a result of this selling approach, I have earned perfect feedback on various other sites and platforms. Until Chrono24 implements feedback for private sellers, you will have to take my word for it, but there are several dozen happy buyers here too.
THE WATCH
Panerai Radiomir 1940 3 Days
PAM 572
I purchased this watch last year from a reputable pre-owned dealer. It is a 2014 model. I have no service history.
I’m selling it because I have 8 Panerai in the collection. I love the brand, but prudence dictates that I slim the collection just a little.
Comes full set, box and papers.
There is no warranty left.

THE PRICE
I try to price all of my watches fairly. I generally analyze a number of different sources at the time of listing. I price my watches below what you would pay at a dealer for a similar watch (age, condition, completeness), realizing that buyers are going to want a small negative premium to buy from a lesser known entity. However, I also balance that with the knowledge that my watches are almost always in “very good” to “like new” condition, and may in fact be as nice, or nicer, than you would find at many dealers. As such, I’m not looking to sell below the watch’s true value.
Any questions, feel free to ask.
