Need a new Panerai AD

After building a solid relationship with a PAM AD in the Northwest US, I am on the hunt for a new one. They have twice now sold a watch out from under me after I told them I wanted it...so I say ADIOS.

So that leaves me with the hunt for a new AD in the US (anywhere as that's what FedEx is for and saves taxes outside of Texas). If anyone has any good recommendations, please post or PM me. I don't buy a ton, but probably 3-4 per year (depending on how my mood swings after reading the TRF). Don't want to use Boutiques as they won't discount.

Anyway, thanks in advance to my TRF Panerai section friends

Thanks Thomas...yep have tried the regulars on TRF (Oscar, Sean, etc) for Panerai. Will always communicate with them (they are great people, but as we know--hit or miss on stock). What I wanted to see if there are any AD's that anyone has any luck with on a regular basis?

When coming to Panerai's more limited models they all tend to go to heavy resellers or VIP customers.

But not a bad idea to introduce yourself to an AD and put your name on the list

Just so you know, certain models, like a 372 for example, will NOT be discounted anywhere.

For sure. It's more the basics that I was referring too...you are right to just call boutique for getting on list like for 372.

Wanting a watch and actually paying for it are two different things. You should have secured it withy a credit card.

Of course --I know how it works as I bought 3 from her in the past . She said she would call back later that day and get the cc and never did (twice on 2 different watches). Anyway got another AD thanks.
