I do not expect prices to be cheaper. Luxury items in high demand there. The PRC tourists even find our local prices to be cheaper...Current babies:
Sub 16610LN D series
PAM 312 M series

116613LB?
a good White dial watch -
Price here in Shanghai is much much higher, eg. Pam372 is selling at RMB78,000.
No discount whatsoever...Comment

Range in Shanghai is good cos everything is more expensive by at least 20%. Unless you are looking for a SE, not the best place to buy.Comment

Too many fakes.buy with caution.Comment

Wouldnt advise to get in china. Too many replica. Even getting one wouldnt feel safe honestly. If getting at low price u will feel is too gd to be true or fake if at a steep price u definitely feel u got rip off. Rather u getting from sg or other country because panerai oso costly few grands. So spend to make urself feel safe better.Comment

China tends to have higher mark ups. It is only worthwhile if you are after collections that are unqiue to China like PAM 498 and teh Luminor Sealand 842"He could not just wear a watch. It had to be a Rolex." �Ian Fleming, Casino Royale (1953)

It should be safe if you get it from Panerai Boutique there at IFC or Plaza66.
Though price is about 20% higher, you may able to get limited editions or hot models which you will never get here or overseas without contacts.Comment

What about selling into China?Comment
-
Would avoid buying in China as the import duty tax is much much higher.
Buying in HK can be consider.Comment

Go take a look at the Shanghai ADs and ask. You will be surprised that the prices are not too far off from SG, in fact may be lower for some models. I understand that Panerai has stopped price increases in certain markets like China recently in order to realign prices in APACelusiveComment
