digitax,
Not too sure as we have never discuss prices. I would expect it to cost upwards of USD 7,000. Basically my friend is what we call an 'enabler'. He is there to 'poison' you to get the watch or one of his watches. I know that at the moment he is a tad disillusioned with the way Panerai is going hence his 'willingness' to sell one of his watches. However in saying that, he has only made the offer to me and no one else. I believe his Panerai collection at the moment stands at about 40+ watches, some double like the PAM00072.
