Pricing for Rad 210

[dannyboy123]

I've found a 210 in the UK at rrp GBP 3,200 (going to 3,600 on 1/8).

I can grab this net of 20% VAT for GBP 2560 or effectively US$4,115.

Is that a good deal, it strikes me that it is, although feedback'd be appreciated.

Is this a new watch or preowned? If new then I would say that's a great deal, if preowned then mediocre.

Not pre-owned, brand new. Basically as I'm importing it I escape UK VAT which accounts for 20% of their rrp, all above board.

Actually funilly enough I found a second hand one unworn held by another jeweller but second hand items don't attract VAT (odd?) so it was slightly more!!!

Hm.. I think I just got offered a brand new old series (M) 210 for less than that..

Yeah Shade but he has to deal with VAT. For a BNIB piece I think that is a good price. Make sure it is a keeper, because you'd still lose money if you turned around and flipped it! But who knows what price increases Panerai has for us coming up!

I haven't seen a 210 in decent condition for less than $3,800 in a while. That means if he sells it, he will only lose a few hundred $. IMHO, a few hundred $ isn't a big loss on a watch and especially not on a new watch.

Quite possible, but I'm not a very good expert on pricing in the UK. I know in the states, I can get a very nice used one for under 4k.

Oh, and BTW......GET IT!



I love this watch! I also have a 190 and thought I'd sell the 210........I can't!

Nice looking watch Mik.

Thanks for the comments - I'll call the UK tonight and pull the trigger! So now I'm a Panerai guy as well as Rolex (plus 2x Oris)! I forsee an unhappy wife.

Time to sell off some of my bike collection!!!
