Find another AD for the discount or wait for it to show up on the grey for a bigger discount

Nice looking Rad.

As for from whom to buy, it depends on how much you value the “AD experience”. I bought my Panerai from DavidSW and don’t enjoy it any less because of that.

If the watch works for you and the price is workable then why not go with the AD. If they will not discount then ask for a few straps and a buckle. They usually will do something like this. If you get a complete kit from a Trusted Seller and it is in excellent condition you will save 15-20% in my experience. But the watch will be pre-owned if that makes a difference to you. I buy Panerai from both my AD and the Trusted Sellers and for me it is about the watch and not so much the price. Be prepared though to get 50% or less when you trade or try to sell the watch. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

If the watch is right in front of me I’m inclined to buy it rather than hunt. It’s not like another watch is a sensible purchase anyway, might as well indulge myself in the moment.

I have recently started looking at Panerai with interest. I'm not finding alot of 15-20% discounting on their used watches, certainly not on this model.
With Panerai, I'd be inclined to push the AD for some gifts, and feel confident that I got an authentic new watch with what appears to be a great warranty.

And by the way, this is a beautiful watch, enjoy!
