New Panerai 372 - what to pay?
Discussion
For the last 18 months I've been aiming at a new 372 for an approaching 'bigger' birthday. This will be a keeper for life. The most expensive watch I've bought to date is a pre-owned Seamaster for £700! I am finally visiting a dealer in Manchester on Jan 2nd, can't wait
I've heard there's currently a drop in new watch sales and it's a buyer's market. What sort of discount should I be going for? RRP is £7.3k.
Thanks for any help.

That's all well and good but I don't want a Rolex
I have a couple of G-Shocks, the Omega and an iPhone that give very reliable time keeping so that aspect is not the big driver in this purchase. I'm also not trying to impress.
Is a Rolex the watch equivalent of a mapped 335D or MX5? I certainly understand this 'why have anything else' logic (owning an MX5 and a 335D is evidence of that!) but I have wanted the Panerai for my coming birthday since seeing it in a magazine two years ago.
As an update, a kind tip sent as a PM has got me an excellent price and an order is placed. PH is great for this, thanks all.

Thanks again for all the tips. I'm sure the negative comments come with good intentions but I intentionally only asked for buying advice as I have long since set my mind on the Panerai. That 'want' factor outweighs split-second accuracy. I am not a watch nut as such, just want a beautiful object as a life keeper.
My order is placed now. Hopefully getting the watch next week.
