Icon5 Question about Panerai and PAM176

I am just another PAM noob. Have a couple question here.

1) Does PAM 176 come with both rubber and croc straps?
2) How much discount should I get from AD for 176? Currently I'm offered 10%
3) Does series/serial number matter? How do I find the reference?
4) Any trusted Gray Market dealer I should check out?

Thanks in advance

1) Alligator skin & rubber
2) 10% is the best I've seen from AD
3) Link
4) Check the dealer section at P.com for reputable gray market sellers

My AD will simply laugh if you ask for a discount on a Panerai.
The funny thing is he wonders why I don't buy them from him...

A lot of Panerai AD's will not discount no matter what you say to them

The 176 should come with the antique alligator brown strap and the rubber.

Series doesn't really matter, it's more about the condition of the watch, try to get something that's a year or two old and keeping good time and in good condition.

Discounts depend on what country you're in, i see you're in Georgia, which means you can use various European Grey Dealers. I can only speak from a United Kingdom point of view, but i do like using places like www.blowers-jewellers.co.uk and i have used another one called www.tempoinverso.com which gave good service as well, both were for Panerai's.

There are others like www.watches.co.uk and many more, but unfortunately i don't know many near you, the reason i mention the UK grey dealers is that the UK is the cheapest place to get Panerai just now due to the exchange rate!
