Good news - however, the flights from Toulouse would probably be expensive!!
Over here we're lucky if we get 5%...

Of course, after I bought my Panerai, I found a place that gives 20% off. I know the mark up on all watches are at least 40%. Anyway, Park Cities Jewelers (214-520-6148) has a lot of highend watches at there store in Dallas, TX. It is located in an affluent area of downtown. I'm not advertising for this place but I thought I would throw it out there for those interested in deals. Speak to the owner at the store because he is the one that is willing to deal. Mike |

Interesting. Whilst we are all aware of the global squeeze here in the UK, dealers are forbidden to discount upon pain of agency removal. 20% would be a dream here anytime from my experience. As an aside, Rolex have confirmed another increase for January of a rumoured 15% and Cartier have confirmed increases are imminent but not how much. These increases are to bring the UK into line with Europe. Now that a Euro and Pound are worth pretty much the same i can see why but not how anyone will buy anything anymore. Luxuries are the first thing we all cut back on. |

FYI...He is not an AD for Panerai but it an AD for other brands. My friend is the one that recommended him to me. He has a nice highend looking store. I know he does ship. Oh and the Panerai watches are not fakes in case you are wondering.... |

The dealer also said that I would get 15% off the next time I come! Me: "Also on watches?" Dealer: "Especially on watches!" So, what is the percentage they earn? Sportback, you live in France? But you're American? |

No I'm not Amercian - I did live for a time in Houston, but I got better....  I'm an expatriate Brit living in rural France. Good news on the discounts - my AD never actually gives me a fixed percentage discount, but I rarely pay list...I think it's all down to your face and the need of the AD to shift his stock. When I visited his shop last Saturday both of his salespeople were dealing with potential Panerai clients...and they say there's a crisis? What crisis?? |

AD discount in the UK unheard of in my experience. Possibly a nominal percentage on accessories is about it  I believe though the UK has been enjoying the best pricing in Europe and stateside? |

Is 20% about the best that can be expected for a Panerai discount? |

If we're talking Panerai AD I'd be amazed at 10%...really |

Where are you guys living that you get 20 or even 10% discount  In the UK, the AD would lose their appointment if they were found to be discounting at all, let alone at that level

I wouldn't be surprised at 10-20% off list nowadays.. Panerai has got to be one of the hardest hit brands for resale value since the recession. With such small production, I would think a lot of buyers are influenced by online pricing and chit chat. |

I must say that I've also bought something else with the watch. The AD told me that actually there's no discount on Panerai's. But she gave me 10% discount on the total price. You could also see it as she gave me even more discount on the other product. |
