panerai at Costco

I was at one of the local Costco stores today and saw a Panerai. I believe it was a PAM00233, Panerai Luminor 1950 8 Days GMT 44mm, Steel with black dial. It was priced at $12,699.99.

Yep, Costco selling grey market watches, without manufacturer warranties or any service support. You'd think they'd have learned by now....

There is always a risk buying gray market watches. The most important thing is that it is authentic. Its just a risk that you wont have the 2 year warranty. But if the discount is significant then why not. If its only a few hundred then its your call.
