New York Panerai Boutique Experience
Just wanted to share my experience for those who haven't yet had the pleasure of visiting the New York Boutique on Madison Avenue.
It's a small but well designed boutique. Nice modern furnishings and the cool portholes that display the lovely Panerai's.
I had the pleasure of working with Bita who knows how to treat a client. From the moment I was put on the list she was very accommodating by responding to emails very quickly and giving me all the information needed.
Today I went down to pick up my 318 and it's smoking hot! I always wanted a logo but never pulled the trigger on the 000 or 005. How nice for Panerai to make one of my favorite pieces into a boutique piece.
The case back engraving is really special and something that must be seen up close.
Also the boutique is stocked full of straps! I have never seen so many straps at one time. It was a bit overwhelming and I was contemplating the JV strap but passed on it. Maybe another time.
I've always purchased my watches through AD's but if you are in NY and are looking for a very personal experience then the Panerai Boutique on Madison is highly recommended. AD's are great as well but nice to switch it up a bit sometimes.

Very happy for you, that is a very nice timepiece and I know you will enjoy it!
Very True
I have also visited the boutique and dealt with Bita. She is extremely knowledgeable and very helpful. Its a definite must stop when you are in New York.
Thanks Everyone! Quick Pic inside
Yes it was a great experience and am very happy with my purchase. I think I have a thing for engraved backs now! 
A true work of art and harder to come by now
They take you back to a time when engraving was common place in the watch industry. You've got good taste!
