India Whiskey Charlie's experience with the Panerai PAM00098 Radiomir GMT Alarm highlights a critical aspect of luxury watch ownership: long-term reliability and serviceability. His detailed account of power reserve issues, even after professional servicing, offers invaluable insight for collectors considering vintage or complicated Panerai references. This discussion underscores the importance of understanding a watch's movement and potential maintenance challenges.

Even after fully winding and wearing it all day, it stops running a few minutes after removing from wrist. Or if you choose to wear it while sleeping, it would stop overnight. Even Panerai service cannot get it to store some power.
What's even worse is that my 24 has the exact same problem. That one has a movement based on the Valjoux 7750.
There are some amazing people still out there that can diagnose and repair these movements and take pride in their craft
Maybe I need to keep looking? π€
Knock on wood. Itβs on a Hermes band meant for an Apple watch π
No PR to keep it charged
