Have an opportunity to pick up a 292 without pig for 8000 from authorized dealer. Should I jump on it? I shouldn't expect a discount right? How about a free band? Thanks

Spencer · 13 May 2010, 02:04 PM

Get it. if the AD is in L.A. there is no reason to expect a discount. Assuming you get it, which AD is it? (not going to call just curious).

jschmidtdmd · 13 May 2010, 02:05 PM

I'd def grab it. I just missed one last Friday as my ad didn't have my cell number and called the office

Spoke to the BHB today and they said that Panerai was been sending more lately, they get about 5 a month. Still a tough watch to find, but I don;t think there is quite the feeding freenzy on them as there was a year or so ago.

jschmidtdmd · 13 May 2010, 02:08 PM

Is the msrp 8k?

Milgauss J · 13 May 2010, 02:22 PM

yes, MSRP is 8000. I am going to get it. I got a croc band and 100 discount. I have the money but wasn't looking to get a watch now, but what the heck! Here goes 292! It is from an AD in Maui.

Nice! And no tax to boot! Post pics as soon as you get it. i am sure some AD's may deal a bit but most won't so $100 off, no tax, a strap...I'd say you got a good deal

Milgauss J · 13 May 2010, 02:30 PM

Thanks Spencer! I am glad I finally joined the Panerai club! I have been looking at 312 forever but never pulled the trigger as I have always preferred the Luminor. However, 292 has always been the watch that made me drool!!! Just to celebrate, I opened up my favorite bottle of Scotch to toast myself!!!

Took the words out of mouth. I prefer the look of the Luminor too, I had a 111 but sold it. However the 292 “speaks to me”, and will be my next PAM purchase w/o any question

dalip · 13 May 2010, 04:21 PM

where are the pics????!!!!!
Awesome watch...definitely on my radar for the future....great catch!

Milgauss J · 13 May 2010, 04:44 PM

Thanks! I haven't gotten it yet. Just made the purchase over the phone. It will be shipped out on Monday and I will get it on Tuesday! Can't wait. I won't get much sleep tonight shopping for straps already.

leonardH · 13 May 2010, 07:04 PM

Great you will love it, remember the pics :-)

Psmith · 13 May 2010, 07:30 PM

Congrats and looking forward to the pics

Cheers

niels74 · 13 May 2010, 11:34 PM

Wow thats about 6300 Euro , they go for 4750 / 5200 here.. new of course.. seems expensive for a non pig to me personally .. im sure you should find better deals if you look around..

anyway a stunning watch .

Milgauss J · 14 May 2010, 01:34 AM

Thanks guys!

Wow, it is cheap in Europe I suppose due to the recent drop in the Euro. I need a trip there while the Euro is down.

I can't wait to get it. 5 more days!!!

stockae92 · 14 May 2010, 02:56 AM

** bang head **: "Why didn't I get a PAM when I was in Italy and Spain" ... its still a lot cheap with the 3% CC foreign currency fee"

back to topic: I think $8k (or $7.9k?) with a free strap is a good deal for brand new 292 no pig, as least for the moment in US. Congrats! Post some pic when it arrives. :-)

Milgauss J · 14 May 2010, 10:12 AM

I always thought my first PAM would be a luminor but as it turns out my second PAM will be a luminor. As many of you have said, you can never stop at one. Let the madness begin!!!

TswaneNguni · 14 May 2010, 01:02 PM

Congrats on the 292.

I grabbed the 292J,but said no on the 28L.In black ,I found the Radiomir to have the edge.The 292 and 231 are two of my favourite Rads.

Milgauss J · 14 May 2010, 01:06 PM

Thanks! Chris. I never thought about the difference but I see what you are saying...

jschmidtdmd · 16 May 2010, 07:01 AM

Well, isn't karma something. Like I said earlier in this post, I missed out on a 292 last week from my AD in New Jersey. So today, I am taking a casual walk in the mall here in Denver and stop into the AD. I am talking to one of their salesmen, who recognizes me and he tells me they have a 292L in the back. Sure enough, they did! I procured it! Very exciting!!!!!

How about some strap pictures now!
