PAM Discounts and Greys

What discounts should I expect from PAMs at ADs? Does anyone have good greys that you recommend for PAM online?

I'm interested in a 104 for my first one.

I've got a solid contact in Manhattan, he can get what ever you need. I got my 233 and 249 from him, everything was in order. PM me if you are interested.

I've been getting 10 - 12% off on my Pams so far. I guess it's not too common to get that much of a discount on Panerai but if I'm laying down that much cash I expect it. If not, I walk.

104 was my first PAM too ... Highly recommended

J serials onward,have the new strap change system,which makes changes EXTREMELY easy,to do.

A few nice straps for a 104 and you have a very nice one watch collection,so to speak.

One of the most numerous produced (4000/annum),BUT they are very popular,so are sometimes hard to find from the AD.

Discounts are always possible.

Hope you find one soon !!

I wish my "J" 286 had the new easy change strap pins. I risk messing up the screws and scratching the lugs when changing them.

My 289 J-serial also have the screws.Off course the Radiomir 231 and 242 too.No question,the quickest change is on the 104.No fuss,no mess.Great system

Watches are in high demand and typically sell at retail. Grey market is thinner pickings as ADs have much greater demand than supply. Normally GM listings are new, flipped watches selling for OVER retail, not under.

My advice would be to find a good AD and stick with it. In this case, putting MOST of your eggs in one basket will pay off if you want to be in line for limited pieces down the road.
