New Panerai 352 from Erik Szper

Got my new Panerai 352, could not be more pleased. Erik Szper provided superb service -- I recommend him without a single reservation.

Congrats!

Now all you need is a strap (or three) to match the interior of your Maserati

Poor man's Maserati; however, a great ride.

I've never seen "poor" and "Maserati" in the same sentence before.

Great watch and car.

My Thoughts

First, don't believe everything you read regarding the Ghilibi. (not uncommon for first year models) As with most every car on the marketplace, there are no shortages of negative reviews/comments The Ghilibi is one heck of a car for the money. I'll attach a pic of my Gbilibi for your consideration. One area needing improvement is the "premium" sound system. As for performance, top marks. Looks, really high marks -- head-turning appeal. Fit and finish, fully satisfactory. One important comment, hold out for a significant discount from the MSRP sticker. My ultimate recommendation, get one. Cheers, Scott

I was debating between purchasing a 2013 BMW M5, new Tesla but I decided on the Ghibli. Nice color choice!

When people start talking about "poor" man's Maserai and languishing over which $100k+ car to buy, it might be time for me to find another place to hang out that serves my kind. I'm looking at a Mazda 3 or Ford Focus. :/
