Full Price for a Pam 244?
I've been thinking about buying the PAM 244 for a couple of weeks. My options in Los Angles are either buy from Tourneau or the Panerai Store in Beverly Hills, or, from a Essential-Watches, an online dealer in Los Angeles for $1,000 less but no manufacturer's warranty. Has anyone here ever purchased a luxury watch from an online dealer like Essential-Watches? They are based in Beverly Hills so they are close and I would be able to inspect the watch should I decide to go that route. Can anyone suggest a reliable dealer in Los Angeles? I think $7,100 retail is too much for this watch.
Thanks. |

My opinion is to buy with warranty and some sort of a dealer back up. You may pay extra, but unless you're into flipping watches - pay more and you get more.
Plus it's a lot more fun to buy local sometimes. Just my 2 cents.

Thanks for the advice fellas. I called a couple of authorized dealers and realized some do give price breaks. I tried the watch on the other day along with the 88 and realized I may go larger.
