morris133 18 Posted January 4, 2021 I've entered into new phase - Pam Obsession. I have no idea how this happened (daily wrist check might have something to do with it) but I'm loving the style of Panerai. While I love a big chunky watch I think the 44's might be my limit - who knows. Anyway I started with the Panerai submersible 42mm. Love the watch, Chunky, nice presence on the wrist, built like a tank, super comfortable. The downside of this one from the ZF factory is it looses about 3-4 minutes a day. Additionally, the crystal isn't pressed on straight. I've contacted the TD (waiting to hear back) but I would like to just get it running well and the crystal pressed in correctly. Since I am such a NOOB in the Pam world I'm looking for any guidance for repairs, repair person in the states. Thanks for looking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobbylah 135 Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) Out of interest mate, does this have an open or closed caseback (ie can you see the movement)? You could always try Katt. https://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?/forum/224-katts-watch-repair/ Edited January 4, 2021 by Bobbylah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

morris133 18 Posted January 5, 2021 Good news - the TD got back to me and has a repair person here in the states. Great customer service from the TD and I'll be sure to post a comprehensive review when all is resolved. Sending off for fixes, fingers crossed. I'll post the results.

G_sus 480 Posted January 12, 2021 That’s lovely, and at 42mm very wearable Might have to go on the list to keep an eye on via M2M.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allez 24 Posted May 2, 2021 @ morris133 may I ask which TD sold it, thanks. Discontinued PAM...hard to get. Hope you get fixed this soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
k3rm87 160 Posted May 3, 2021 Turn it upside down on the carpet and stand on it, should seat the crystal nicely. At your own risk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
morris133 18 Posted December 8, 2022 Repair Update. Finally after all this time I took a few pics of the PAM Sub after it was serviced. Service didn't take a year, just me and my inability to keep up. A bit of an ordeal to get the correct crystal gasket but all worked out in the end. Lovely watch, wears perfect on my 6 3/4 (17cm) wrist. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hoping it’s an easy fix to re-align the dial and tighten a bit better. New update post in another year. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
