Thinking of purchasing Panerai Luminor Marina PAM 005

Hi folks,
I have been informed by local Panerai AD that they will sell me a PAM 005 Luminor marina logo version for $4,690.00 plus tax... Now I know MSRP is around $5300 and especially with increase in franc, AD is recommending I take the deal before price goes up...

Is this fair price? I believe it is great deal I just want to confirm with you guys.
And do you think price of Swiss watches will go up?

Thanks any advice would be greatly appreciate it...

I currently own, rolex ss Daytona (black faced) rolex green milaguss, shinola

A good base entry into the Panerai world but wouldn't rely on making much on any resell once the stickers come off.

I'd go for it then as it seems to fit with your needs (and would be pretty easy to trade/resell later if needed) and think that its a decent price where its likely that retail price will increase due to the strength of the Swiss franc...

12% off on a 005 is a great deal. This is a popular model and the discount is usually slim.

Hi guys... Thanks for great advices.... Yes, price seems pretty good to me as well. Especially considering Swiss franc going thru north of 20% my guess is Swiss watches price will go up as well and I wanted to make purchase before it did.

Yes, price is really good! Brand new, too! That's likely the sort of price you're looking at for a 1-2 year old 005! Buy now, or regret later!
