Looking to possibly purchase a couple of these for myself and business partner and wondering where to look.
Popped into watches of Switzerland in Birmingham we were very well looked after but walked away without parting with any cash ( just). Should or could I buy safely online.
Opinions would be appreciated.

Cheers
Steve

Guess it depends on whether you can find the specific models you are after on line or whether the AD has them in stock. You can buy on line (and pre-owned) from the likes of www.watches.co.uk,www.chronomaster.co.uk and www.blowers-jewellers.co.uk though you may not find the model you want straight away.

If you're south of Birmingham, try George Pragnell in Stratford-upon-Avon also. They are an AD with a handful of models in the window but also have a few pre-owned pieces every now and then.

ETA According to a thread on TZ-UK, Panerai list prices are going up 7% on Aug 1st

I can whole heartedly recommend Blowers. I've bought a few pieces from them incuding a Panerai. Very good customer service and they stock only the best condition watches from my experience.
