[gaoxing84]

Really liking the case dimensions on my stick wrist

Sent from Tomorrowland using GAGT

nice! solid patina forming

Very acquired taste . How does the compass on the bezel work?

cos I like chu bi watch

iirc, using hour hand to point to the sun .. the direction will be as indicate on the bezel.

in short, all watch can be compass, using hour hand to point to sun and 12 o clock will be north but in some countries need to turn the bezel (north in different direction)

honestly, never use before

I never realize so many people wear their watch on right hand, if I have not come to this forum

and there's even left handed watch for them, though I dont think people turn the crown without unwearing the watch from wrist..

just chitchat.

Actually. Rolex is best.

no watches are for investment unless
1. limited production or limited numbers at 1 time production
2. not wearing them and keeping them in safe
3. the right manufacturer

that's for monetary earnings if you're ready to wait at least a decade and not wearing them at all. if its popular maybe will net you some profits.

if you're thinking to buy, wear them and ask if its worth the money, then it depends on the model you're looking for.

generally, panerai hype died and if you like big statement watches that tells everyone you can afford a good watch, then yes pam is a good start.
but if you want to sell down the road, prepare to take a 4 figure loss on the price.
at least 30% - 40% loss of what you paid for.
that is if someone wants to buy it.

patek stainless 5711 was selling for 30k+ around last year (grey dealers), now shoot up to 50k+
saw a used 5726 bracelet going for high 30ks last year.. now used selling at 50k + also.

for lesser gains, would be 116500 which was selling around 22-23k (grey dealers) sometime last year.. now increase to 24-26k already
