After a trip to the bathroom floor

my 164 just came back from the Panerai’s Paris “spa”: full service, new device protecting the crown (that’s where it fell) and polished.

The watch looks fantastic, it winds so smoothly. :-)

All that and it took only about 3 weeks, with great communication and service from the boutique’s staff along the way.

Nothing “special”, in the sense that this is how things are supposed to be, but, hey, good experiences should be posted about from time to time, too, right? ;-)

Oh, and I got to try on a 753 while there....I’m in love.
