I’m excited to join and be a part of this group. I’ve been researching and looking for my first of hopefully a few PAMs I’ll be collecting over the next few years.

Welcome. Be careful if buying from a re-seller. Always ask questions here first before you buy.
best to buy from an AD if possible. Get that new watch smell etc. Also. AD may toss in a strap or two as a discount.

Due diligence and researching the seller is free to do. It could save you 1000s by not having to go through an AD and buying from a trusted re-seller (Who also sell new!).Originally posted by DONAG1 View Post
If losing 30-50% per Panerai transaction is of no harm to your finances, then buy new every time.

I couldn't agree more that buying from the boutique is a special experience! 😀Originally posted by CraigF View PostFor ones first Panerai, I think going into a boutique and buying it is a special experience. For me, that was my second Panerai with my first being from an AD because there were no boutiques in the US yet. No, haveing had many, I look for a deal

Along these lines, I've located a discontinued model that has been my unicorn for awhile. It is being listed by a Dan Fernandez in Miami on Watchnet. He was mentioned years ago in the old Paneristi forum site and is mentioned in other brand forums but also older posts. Seems he has been in the game a long time, sells/lists lots of watches and is reputable. Unfortunately, it is the watch only which has me hesitating. Anyone here ever dealt with him?Comment

Welcome! I am pretty new here too, might even be more new than you. Excited to poke around here a bit and learn more about my favorite watch brand. Proud owner of a 000 and a 1342 although I haven't ever worn the 1342! HA!Originally posted by Prometheus View Post
