Servicing is nice. Kinda reminds me of Rolex and Breitling. Just got mine back from it's first service. Complete movement service and polish was about $600. Cosmetic service might have been quite a bit more, considering they recommended a $600 bezel replacement.
Wouldn't buy a watch solely off the warranty. You most likely won't need it. If you're carful, you could easily go over 5 years without servicing.
Nice watches can pick up value over time. Some Panerai pieces are limited runs, might appreciate a tad bit over the years.
Use chrono24 or Jomashop for pricing.

Not too bad then, as the first service on both my TAG Monaco and Silverstone was around $450. Add $100 for polish of case and $50 for buckle. With Panerai i belive polishing is included in the service. So comparable really.
