Q & A : Servicing Panerai Watches

[Dfive]

1k and beyond

and beyond and beyond I'm guessing......... The only PAM's I like are those with the 8 days mvmt

Serious! Have you got the quot from them before?

I have got a IWC doppelchrongraph and a full service cost me ~$600.

When was that? I doubt you can get such price if you send it to Richemont now.

Not that long actually. Nov 2010.

8 days PR service was about $1k 2 years ago.

would be good if someone can check the estimate servicing cost for a PAM 8 day movement watch.

i guess the high servicing cost is because they need to disassembled and clean the 8 day movement, plus changing the seals.

[Paneraii]

Wildest guess..........Either it is being serviced in Europe or Hongkong. Therefore, its the air ticket baby..

[leeye]

checked with JW and they could not provide servicing for the Panerai 8 day movement.

will check the servicing costs at the Panerai Boutique @ ION

brought my 8 day movement watch to service center at ION Panerai Boutique. since the watch is new and unworn (although 3 years old), the technician checked the rate results on the Chronoscope and found it to be within factory specs (-000), pressure test is also good. so upon his advice there is no need for servicing (for at least 2-3 years).

i asked about the serviciing cost for the P2002 movement and the answer is $1k which includes disassembly of the movement for cleaning and lubrication plus replacement of seals. case polishing is not included in the $1k servicing cost.

[ngokyc]

Yes. The servicing of the 8 days would cost 1k.

i suppose you are referring to the base ETA movements as that is what JW can provide (in-house Panerai movement JW can't do it). 4-5 months is pretty long wait. previously i sent in an omega to JW for servicing, i think it was about 3 months wait.

how about watchklinik?

[wankie]

Richemont ?

sorry forgot to mention a cheaper option compared to richemont
