Starting to seriously think of getting a Panerai. Question for you guys (would be curious to hear from Rob Sutherland on this): If I buy from a place like Humbertown Jewellers, can I expect to be able to bargain or is the price set in stone?

I have owned two Panerai's ( still have one) and bought both from the Panerai boutique store. My experience is they hold their prices. That said, I always buy watches and have them shipped out of state to save on the taxes. Also, with the strong U.S. dollar the current pricing is favorable. I looked at one a couple of weeks ago that was about $1200 less than a year ago.

Which model are you thinking about?

The strong USD won't help me as I'm buying in Canada. I haven't decided yet but considering the Luminor 1950 3 days automatic Acciaio (PAM312). I want something that has the classic Panerai look but I don't think I can go with hand-wound.
