Panerai Discount at AD

Typically what kind of a discount can be expected at a Panerai AD? Thank you.

Depends on the model. Some rare models cost 2-3X retail.
Some can be had at 30% off.
I can get you Panerai Ferrari at a huge discount.

LOL! So true. You know what hooked me on "sticking to my guns"?

I was in search of the 171 and 161 FOREVER. Everyone said "If one comes in, it sells AT or ABOVE list."

Then in Vegas, I see 3 stores who have BOTH models. Then in NJ, PA, and NY I see them too... YES they had gone up $700 BUT now you could get 15-20% off. So it still worked out :)

But I hear you. :)

I would say it depends on the AD...

A chain store like Tourneau is likely to give you very little, whereas a stand alone privately owned store may give as much as 20%+ on various models.

Panny's tend to come in around 50% of retail, so there is your margin. If an AD won't give me 20% off, I walk. Oh, and a few straps, too ;)
