Do you think i got a fair deal on my Pam112?

Hey all,

I had traded my pam 279 "all TI on bracelet" in when i bought my daydateII
I also bought a milgauss GV as well at the same time.. But I missed my panerai so much..

When I was in the US virgin Islands i bought a pam 112. very clean looking I love the watch wear it more then my others..

List price on the watch was $5200 plus tax..
i got it out the door for $4250. Do you guys think that kind of a discount on panerai is not common? bc when I bought my first panerai there was 0 discount even still till this day my local dealer does not discount...

In st thomas where i bought the watch I told them i wanted to be dazzeled by a discount.. played games for 3 days and finally on the day I was leaving they cut the deal for me.

i am at work right now so here is a generic photo of the watch to give you all an idea. I will post actual photos later.

Not that great IMO. I bought a 111 from a AD in Wisconsin through a grey market guy. NIB with my name on the warranty papers. 35% off. Retail $5600, I got mine for $3640 to my door. I waited a while for a deal like that to come along.

that's a great deal but they were not panerai dealers so the watch is still considered second hand..

directly from a dealer I think I got a fair price...

BS. the grey guy called the dealer in Wisc. and had him ship the watch directly to me from Wisc. He is in Florida. Once again MY NAME is on the warranty card from the AD. How does this make my watch second hand? You got a GOOD deal but I said I got a BETTER deal. What is most important is that you are happy and enjoy your watch.

They are both great deals. Enjoy your watch. We should not talk about what we paid for them. If your happy what difference does it make.

You got a good deal for a nice watch I got 0% from my AD as they don't discount on Panerai
