    I am interested in a Panerai flyback chrono model 212. The dealer refused any kind if discount. Even with the economy the way it is, is this normal?

    I attempted to get discounts from several retailers but gave up in the end and just bought the damn thing for list!

    Just ran across a small dealer with very limited inventory (phasing out Panerai) in the shops at Caesars in Vegas who was offering 50% off. They didn't have the Rattrapante so I wasn't interested. That was just over a week ago...can't remember the name.

    Shreve at Stanford Mall Palo Alto has the Panerai. Might be worth a call. The economy probably isn't doing them any favors.

    A friend of mine was talking to a gray market dealer in Miami last week, and the dealer told him he could get 30% off Panerai retail (NIB watches). Anyone know if that's doable?

    Anyone have a hook up for me to get a PAM111?

    Try Hughes Chatel of Chatel and Co. in Carmel, CA (831-626-3445). I was in there last week and all of his Panerai/Ferrari watches are 30% off. Don't know if he'll have the specific watch you're looking for, but it's worth a call. He confirmed that the Ferrari-Panerai marriage is ending.

    I have been able to get 5% off list at Torneau in Boston . I purchased an 000 and a 005 there a few years ago. If someone can get 30% let me know because I am now looking to add a 112 to the collezione.

    I have a 285 and 252, both bought on paneristi/timezone/watchnet and I got a good deal. My AD here isn't very good though.

    I did get 20% though, and its from an AD so I'm happy! Getting an 88 and 111 for the collection.
