Would you purchase a Panerai online?

I can't believe the deal on their PAM320.

http://www.jomashop.com/panerai-luminor-pam00320.html

Is this a trustworthy site?

They are just a middle-man, may not actually have the watch in stock, so I would stay away. However, one of TRF trusted guys SeanLandsnaes has one for sale, he is 100% trustworthy and has tons of references on and off this forum.

Joma is a great site and I have friends bought from there without issues. But for some reason I actually feel safer and prefer to buy from trusted seller here at TRF but thats just me.

Very appropriate thoughts. TRF is more safer

I bought a PAM321 for cheaper the that on this forum from Dra144! Look in WTS section for a BNIB! That's what I did and I could not be happier with 321!

Not sure if true. But some of the sites like joma (watchmaxx springs to mind) mention that they sell the watches without the warranty card.

Personally I would go with a trusted TRF seller.

As Greg said, some of these web sites don't actually have the watch in hand.

I have purchased from Joma, IWC. They take your order then source watch from, in my case, an AD in Brooklyn. It was shipped directly from this dealer, and included all warranty cards, box, in perfect shape.
I would purchase from them again, although as others have pointed out, trusted sellers on this forum are usually lower in price.

Hey Charles, how did it work for you in terms of getting the watch through Customs from US to Canada?

Please PM me if you want to discuss this offline, thanks in advance!

I had it shipped to a mailbox service in Niagara Falls,NY (about 1.5h from my home). I drove it back. I declared it at the border and the CBSA agent was a novice WIS and he let me through. Got lucky, REAL lucky.

No problem; however, I would prefer a trusted TRF seller.
