More serious answer - no real reason not to get one. Which model are you looking at as I'd always be more tempted by the older models with the Unitas movement (i trust them as a movement than than the Panerai in-house effort and it's also independently serviceable etc).
Could you be tempted with a forum-priced 177 instead - serviced in May last year so over a year of warranty left on it? I'm prob going to sell mine as got a potential house move and trying to be sensible.
Edit: Obvious advice is obvious, but forgot to say - be super careful about sourcing second hand Pammies - there are a LOT of superfakes out there, so buy the seller. Panerai bods generally like a full set (box, label, warranty card and stickers) so factor this in if you think you may want to resell at some point (and a seller having this stuff also gives some (but certainly not definitive) comfort that their watch is the real McCoy).
