Hi guys

I have just been offered a PAM 335 from my main dealer and I can manage to twist his arm to 5% discount probably.

Opinions on this one please guys either way. I am told these are difficult to obtain but at £12,000GBP I find that a little hard to believe.

I am seriously considering it as I like the ceramic cases and I like the 270 a lot!!! Just wanted opinions before I take the plunge.

Thanks in advance

the hard to get part I can believe,I think thats the way Panerai Like to keep it,I have yet to hear of any Pam that is classed as easy to get hold of,even my 111 was hard to find an AD with one in stock,some were quoting 1-2 month wait,saying that I would still be trying for a bit more than 5%,I can't believe many ADs have a queue of people waitng to buy a £12,000 watch.you could drop a few hints to say you might just wait for the new releases to hit the shelves,that could make him rethink.

That is basically the ceramic 270 if I remember correctly. I live the look but would be scared to wear it. Just be careful with it. It can take some light hits with door frames and nobs, etc. But if you drop it on a tile floor.....yikes. The cost to replace the case is astronomical.

All that said, I love it.

Correct Mik yes it is the ceramic 270 and so I am told a limited production model. Should I be pushing for any more discount?

I believe list is £12,000 approx but I find it hard to believe people are stacking up to pay that for a watch in the current climate.

Not sure I like the idea of a completely Black Ceramic watch. I would have to see one in person however before I could say for sure.

In HK, the grey dealers usually offer up to 25% off for these high value, but not super- dooper popular models. Hope that gives you some "reference". For example, the 270 goes for about 20% off MSRP.
