Question, is there any advice you can give to someone who knows what watch they want (i.e. IWC Portuguese and a Panerai) and can find it online "new" for a pretty good price. There are shops like Jomashop.com and other online retailers that seem to have pretty aggressive pricing vs stores. Thoughts?

i would never buy from jomashop, authenticwatches etc.
they may/may not be real, but another problem is how long they've been sitting idle, and the first thing you may need to do upon recieving it is a service (which cost as much as car servicing btw
).. also most online grey markets dont offer manufacturer warranty, instead they provide their own shoddy version)
grey market is not worth the hassle, their prices seem great, but after a bit of haggling in a brick and mortar store, you wont be paying too much more. if you can claim tax (via work or travel) you might even be able to beat it.
best of luck
