So Cal Panerai Dealers ? Any with discounts?

A PAM 88 is headed my way very soon, where can I get a discount? I'm near Traditional Jewelers in NB and Tourneau in Costa Mesa, but I dont think they discount.

Thanks.

20%-25% off the bat sounds about right. Remember....they want to sell it more than you want to buy it.

Authorized Dealer...

Both of the So. Cal dealers are not even worth your time. I would not buy a watch from either of them. I have bought a few watches - but, none from them. Unfortunately, my money is no good to Traditional and Torneau - well, not interested...

You won't get a discount but, you will get an awesome buying experience and that counts for something these days at the Boutique in Beverly Hills.

I know saving a few dollars is on everybody'd minds but, sometimes saving ends up costing you more. Just my opinion.

There are plenty of awesome PAM AD's - I would just not use the ones here in Orange County. Just me.

Good Luck though. PAM's are awesome.

I would also like a PM for the Authorised Dealers that give the 20-25% off discount or info and any Gray Dealers that give good discounts.

TIA.

I don't know about 25% off but I know I can get you guys 20%. Pm me because I can't just publish his store in the forum. Besides I need to know exactly what you looking for so I can check if he has it, then I'll hook you up with him. The person I know is the store owner.

After my most recent trip to HK, I am getting the picture that it is cheaper to buy watches overseas versus here especially if I have to pay sales tax. It's too bad that I can't constantly check for availability and fly there last minute. Does anyone know any AD's outside of CA that will ship to CA and are giving 20 to 25% discounts? I am interested in the 233. Is that consider a rare watch that they won't give discounts on? Thanks in advance!
