Yo guys!

I'm looking at getting my first luxury watch from Panerai. Problem is, I'm thinking of getting a 351 or 359 from Hong Kong. But on the other hand, I'm thinking if I should save more for a 441. Seeking expert advice here!

TIA!

go for 351.

359 and 441 ugly. the numerals on dial make it so messy.

441 it's ceramic, if u hit to something hard or you drop it, all i can say is good luck. ceramic is strong but brittle.

stay away from ceramic - there's no go around when it chips, crack or breaks apart except to change the entire case which is going to cost you a arm and a leg.

Thanks for the advice bro.

Do you recommend I get the 351 or the 1351?

351 vs 1351 = i think difference is the sub second hand and a thinner case due to a thinner movement right?

i heard some ppl like the heft of the old case and movement.
unless you appreciate the slightly thinner case, then go for the latest one.

for me i go for 351, i prefer uniformity for panerai.

report no use.

AD did sell at retail - but they choose customers to sell.
How to be on their radar?
support them, buy from them.

if you walk in, why should the AD sell you, when they have ready cash VIP customers willing to pay full retail for it?
And why sell to ready cash VIP? because these VIP bring business to them.
They recommend people to the AD, they legit buy quite alot from the AD.
it's just simple logic. Relationship sales.

Unless, none of their VIP wants it, then they will call those on the list or put it on display, u see it, you heng. you don't, LLST.

unless the AD satki, they rather not sell to walk in, lun and undertable sell to grey dealer or tiong customers.

nowadays, even GMT Master 116710LN also bo discount. there's one at peoples park complex AD, the one nearer to the toilet. happened to see it today.

Eh like that rolex ADs using very dirty sales antics lei. Customers are all the same. Customers mean customers how can distinguish VIP or not. Chao tactics. Not quite right lei. Can complain to Rolex HQ or not then ask them reserve and send to ADs for us.
