Frustration is an understandable....

feeling. On the other hand, how can one not allow for...production defects? I mean Panerai has made, makes, will make thousands upon thousands of watches, are they not allowed..duds? I mean, one defective power reserve cannot disqualify a whole brand, can it? I own a 123, which has the same movement of your 090, and never had a problem. I own a bunch of Panerais and none of them ever bothered me. On the other hand, I had a Rolex Datejust that wouldn't survive outside the Rolex workshop from more than 1 week. So much so that, after the 3rd service, I just sold it (or shall I say, flogged it onto somebody else). I had still have a Breguet that has problems with a screw in the buckle and has come back from Switzerland for the 3rd time....etc..

Problem with winding Pam 090

By: gino480 : August 23rd, 2008-01:41

Hello to everyone . . . I have a quick question. I wear my panerai pam 90 on a daily basis. Is it normal for the power reserve indicator to drop significantly from 40 to 20 or 30 ? ? ? And if it does drop , shouldn't it gradually wind itself back to full ...

Either something is wrong with the watch or you're not mobile enough

Just because you have the watch on your wrist all day long doesn't mean it'll wind up fully. Depends on how mobile you are and how much you swing your arms so the automatic rotor spins and winds the watch. Are you sitting all day long at your desk; and if...

WINDING

Both my PAM's

are manual winds, but every auto I have owned needed to be fully wound about once per week -- no matter how much I wore it during the week. Just because you are wearing a watch doesn't mean it's getting charged. D-Rock

THANKS D-Rock

WHEN I WIND MY PAM , SHOULD I WIND TILL THE SMALL POWER RESERVE HAND REACHES 40 OR DO I STILL GO ON WINDING TILL IT'S HARD TO WIND ? ? STUPID QUESTIONS . . I KNOW !!! BUT WHAT CAN I SAY !! . . IT'S MY FIRST PAM090 AND I'M TRYING TO LEARN HOW IT WORKS !! A...

Till it stops

Mine wind quite smoothly until they are fully wound, then they stop winding. That's how I know to stop winding. D-Rock

Disapointed with my power reserve

By: gino480 : August 30th, 2010-08:41

Hi everyone . . It's been a long time since I last posted. The problems I had with winding my Pam 090 were fixed after I took it to the local service center here in Athens Greece (service center Ora Kaisaris). After about a year my watch just stopped work...

Greek service . . . . . . . not that great . .

By: gino480 : August 31st, 2010-07:15

Hi Sergio, totally agree with you on the one out of thousands part but . . what about after sales ? ? wouldn't you expect at least some explanation or details as to what went wrong so if it's a faulty part from the factory I wont be paying for it after th...

hahaha.....

if you put it that way, I have to agree with you 100%. You're not the first who's not satisfied with the Panerai after sales service. A collegue of mine had a harrowing experience in Singapore. What I meant is that noone has the world exclusive on screwin...
