best place to purchase 5711?
hey guys, newbie here. been lurking for a bit and finally made up my mind to get the 5711 blue dial nautilus. my only question now is whether there is a reliable/trustworthy online retailer i can purchase from? i am sort of in the middle of nowhere in upstate new york, and the closest AD is probably in new york city... i'd prefer to purchase online though because 1, i'm sort of lazy to get into the city and 2, i don't particularly care for having a NEED to have a manufacturers warranty as long as the gray market provider gives some sort of warranty and i get the original box and papers. (i plan to keep this watch for at least 10 years if not longer). i also hope to probably avoid some tax if i get it online which, 8% of $27k is a not a small sum to save.thanks a lot and appreciate any advice you guys can offer.edit: and what would be a fair price to pay?

New addiction
I've been looking at Panerai for some years, and love the way it is subtle and simple, yet elegant. Never had chance to pull a trigger on for about 2 years, finally saw DavidSW had one for sale 2 weeks ago and i couldn't pass on the deal.it's a Pam 50 and i went ahead to order the rubber strap and buckle from the boutique and keep the stainless strap in the case since all my other watches are in SS band, i like the rubber strap being more causal and sporty.here are 2 pictures i took... haven't pick up my SLR for quite sometime and i guess these will be my warm up shots again for the photo season.. enjoy!Thanks DavidSW!
