From What Source Did You Get Your Panerai?

I know how to buy a Rolex online, but have never purchased a PAM.

So, specifically who was the seller of your PAM and do you recommend the seller to others?

I use a Grey Dealer from Florida, who is very reliable and a good man. Not really a Grey Dealer, cause he gets you Panerais with your name on the warranty card, that he buys at reduced rates from Panerai ADs in Europe. Send me a PM if you would like his contact info.

Hi Mark,

I bought from Hamilton Jewelers at the PGA mall in Palm Beach Gardens.

No discount, but the salesman threw in a free strap with purchase. They were also able to do a quick search online of the other Hamilton AD's and transfer watches that they didn't currently have in stock. If you would like salesman's name shoot me a PM.

AD's, Grey market, other Paneristi. Just always do due diligence and buy the seller not the watch. MHO.

I got a BNIB from a local Paneristi member. I bought my 240, for basically 24% of the MSRP. My first grey market purchase, I will be the first to admit, it feels very good to purchase a watch with a high percentage of savings on the sale price.

I've met Bruce/BigB and he is a stand up guy! He also hosted a large Panerai GTG just this year. He is very close to where I live.

His prices are higher, but you are getting a GREAT seller and great watches.

He's got the 104 advertised at 4915.00 plus shipping. Seems like a good price, is that too much?

For BNIB it is good. Check on timezone and paneristi if you want used. You can get some deals, but not BNIB typically.
