I am not a Rolex fan but considering that the Pam111 houses an ETA 6497-2 with modified bridges, it can't compare in my eyes to an in-house as the Rolex Submariner.
I find those Pam/ETA way overpriced and IMO you should expect that they will loose value with time since Paneraï goes in-house for the movements.
Keep your sub or exchange it for a Pam312 for example if you can do the balance...
While I tend to agree with you in regards to the overpriced ETA movement aspect, I feel that the Panerais with those movements could possibly become more collectible in the future. As far as trading in on an in-house, The problem I run into are the ones I like have a tendency to be a bit prohibitively expensive. I'm pretty fond of the 372 and 422.
Collectible... Well, many are hoping for it but it still don't happen.
Why? I guess that when you know the real price of this 6497-2 movement and that Soprod who makes the modifications and decorations has also a big plant in Hong-Kong you may wonder why you should pay so much.
This one is apparently still waiting for a buyer... Super collector, oh yeah! http://forums.watchnet.com/index.php?t=tree&goto=486636&rid=0
By the way, my Ichthus houses the same type of movement without the fancy Rolex618 wannabe bridges for around 800$... It says much.
