Buying Panerai

What type of discount can you expect to negotiate? The reputation is that nobody is buying PAMs.

Any gray dealers to buy from who do a lot of PAM business?

It depends on if you are going with an AD or a Grey dealer. New or pre-owned, LE/SE or regular production. A lot of questions before you get specific answers but my experience says on non-LE/SE watches from an AD you should get 5-20%. Boutique may give you a few straps but no discount. The way to buy Panerai is pre-owned and complete and stay away from obscure models as they are a nightmare to sell/trade. Look at some of our Trusted Sellers here web sites and you can get a feel for the prices. Remember asking and getting are different things, ask for a discount. Good luck.

I just purchased a PAM683 submersible (42mm with ceramic bezel) and it took me a long time to negotiate 10% off. They also threw in 3 extra straps :-)

This if you go grey. I got roughly 25% off my 564. What model are you looking at? Just go on Chrono24 for an idea of the real market value.

Thx.

I’m looking for either 722 or 723, which are on bracelets and don’t seem too plentiful. List $7500, and I’ve seen gray in the past for around $6,000. Not many of them around. One slightly used on Chrono24 for $5950.

Also considering same watch on strap, which are 1392/1312. But, prefer the bracelet version and I can buy straps.

It’s a dangerous brand value wise. Ads somehow holding out for slim discounts. Yet secondary value still in the toilet. Not a good recipe for a fickle watch buyer

I am looking at a 1305 that lists for $9200 and i was quoted $7700 + state sales tax from an authorized dealer. **There was a relationship with someone else that helped no doubt**
