If you only want to sepnd $3K then the watch will probably be pretty beat up. Just an FYI.

Good luck!

Yeah, right around there is where you'll probably be. If you bumped it to $4,500 you could get a BNIB Panerai from a trusted grey dealer and not take the risk buying used. Check out www.paneristi.com and there are plenty of used pieces on the sales forum there.

OJ has a huge selection. I bought my 244 from him. Negotiate him hard, he tends to be a few bucks more expensive.

If you visit him, make sure he doesn't change the price on you. He did that to me. We agreed on a price and when I got there he said his sales guy had made a mistake and he needed $500 more.


Unfortunately, it was my first time and I had no experience and really wanted the watch. And had seen in for $800 more at the Seybold and they wanted to charge tax on a cash deal and I couldn't find it anywhere. Ebay was out of the question. OJ took cash and didn't charge me the tax.


But be careful with him and the switch-a-roo!!!!!

good luck

Not that I'm aware of Pep, here is a link to one of his advertisements over on P.com

I have never purchased from him, but met him at one of our South Florida Paneristi get togethers a few years back and he was a stand up guy. I've stayed in contact via email and spoken to him on the phone a few times for advice and he has always been really helpful.
