For Your Safety: A Message to All Buyers

New Seller Notice: If a seller is new to the Collectors Market with less than 200 posts. While everyone starts somewhere, we strongly recommend using a secure payment method like PayPal Goods & Services or a credit card for purchases for buyer protection.
Critical Security Alert: Established accounts can be compromised. Always request a custom timestamp (a photo of the watch with a note of your choosing) from any seller, regardless of their transaction history. For the highest security, a live video call is the best way to confirm the seller physically has the watch.

If a seller refuses these basic checks or you see any red flags, stop the transaction immediately.

Remember: A real seller with a genuine watch has nothing to hide and will understand your need for caution.

FS: This Panerai 2002 Special Edition (PAM 00147) is a rare high-grade split second chronograph - number 30 of 35 watches in total. If you are a Panerai collector (or rare chronograph collector) you probably know this watch: a "grail" watch for the discerning Panerai collector. Sensibly sized at 42mm, 18K rose gold, and fully restored by Panerai in Europe at a cost of over $4000. It is powered by the iconic split-second calibre, the Venus 185, one of the classic vintage rattrapante movements. It was fully upgraded to high horology standards by Panerai - the finish on the movement is stunning and it runs like a new watch. It has ALL original paperwork, certificates, boxes, and tags. It was originally sold in 2005, and is in like new condition with a fully factory-serviced movement. It has the original black alligator strap (80% condition) and the rose gold Panerai deployant buckle. I prefer a face-to-face deal in the Los Angeles area, if at all possible, but that's not a deal-breaker. The price for this rare high-grade (vintage movement) rattrapante is $37,500. Doing research I found three public auction sales of the PAM 147 reference and they ranged from $37,000 - $42,000. Due to their rarity these hardly ever come up for sale. This is a chance to acquire a truly historic and high-grade Panerai Special Edition. I have other pics of the paperwork, etc., for serious buyers. I am a collector, not a dealer, and have many references in the watch world.
