aghillier Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hello all, At the risk of somebody having asked this question already (although I have checked the search function), I was wondering if anyone can recommend some reputable dealers for Panerai's. This will be my first purchase and I don't want it to be my last!! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slask111 Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Now USE the search function ;D Welcome to the board, im sure you will find precisely what you need here. If it is about watches that is. Try the "Watch Collectors" section first, most dealers have PAM`s. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg_r Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 lol Welcome fellow Panerai freak. Like the man said, use the search function - there are quite a few good dealers out there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi A, welcome to the forum! http://www.rwg.cc/members/Hey-Noobor-NoobRe-t85981.html we have some good dealers here. Trustytime (Andrew) has always been good to me. good communication. http://www.rwg.cc/members/Watch-Collectors-f198.html What kind of Panerai are you looking for? There are some decent ones and lately there have also been some very good ones with good AR coatings and all that. The rubber straps and steel bracelets are quite good. the leather straps specially the one without croc style scream fake. When you get your first Panerai, take a look around for aftermarket straps. http://www.rwg.cc/members/Accessories-f199.html I recently got some straps from Greg Stevens and also from Gunny Straps which are really superb (http://gunnystraps.blogspot.com/) (Admin, if not ok to post this link, please remove) Good luck with the hunt and please post after you received your first!

OmegaPOFL Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 (edited) Lol yeah.. i remember asking similar questions....actually i think i still do... or probably will ANYWAYS! some good sellers for pams include : Little Hero (expensive!!! $1000-$1400 but its also the closest to a gen - but you're spending almost a 1/3 the price of a GEN on a rep ) DSN (midrange $250-500) Sead ( about the same as DSN but he's in CONUS and can do mods! so price will increase accordingly) Hont (200-400...maybe more depending) Then there are the usuals like PT, Eurotimez, Silix *if i forgot to mention anyone... oops! * goodluck in your seach....also yeah USE the search box, read up on it. I've been here almost a month and half and im still learning... PS: check out the Trade section!!! some realllly good pams come up sometimes with alot of mods!! so you dont have to go to all the trouble!

Watchmeister Posted May 1, 2009 Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Welcome! All of the dealers who are listed here have withstood the test of time. You should decide on your budget and what model you want and then people can help you figure what and whom to buy from. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
