112 - lovely choice. Yes, those were positives I took away when I was doing my research into Watchfinder - gave me piece of mind. My watch is a 2017 and the representative advised it only required a light clean and a polish, as well as the timing test and pressure test. I opened the box and was amazed at how NEW it looks. No sign of knocks or scratches they couldn't remove. Really chuffed... How often should I service the watch? It has an in-house P5000 movement and I understand these are a bit pricier but a do you know (roughly) how much I should expect to pay? Looking forward to purchasing some straps in due course. O want to make this watch more of a daily! |

I think you may be able to register your watch with PAM guard for the additional 8 year warranty btw. |

Watchfinder are kindly sending me a new bezel protector which I thought was a nice touch given it didn't come with one. Thanks for your help! Hopefully the 'Certificate' book is the equivalent of the warranty card as it has a further page with what appears to be the (Cypriot) dealer stamp and date (22.03.2017). I would be curious to know how I can find out how many 609's were produced - I don't think it's a 'limited' release. |

Yes warranty cards have not been used for years now and the warranty information is in the booklet. I don’t recall having to take a screenshot when I registered mine but maybe they changed the process.
And yes the R0754/1500 means yours is number 754 of 1500 produced that year. https://millenarywatches.com/panerai-serial-numbers/ |

Cheers Emtee. That's helpful to know and thanks for passing on the article, I spotted that but it didn't reference my serial number starting with 'PL' interestingly. Stupid question but is 750/1500 a good thing? Does it mean it's more limited? If not, I struggle to understand why they would bother stating it as the watch is still being produced?
Doing a timing test at the moment. Initial thoughts over the past few days were I thought it was running pretty accurately but I've just set it again and will check again how many seconds slow/fast it is tomorrow given it **appeared** to be +15 seconds too fast when I checked today. Maybe I'm wrong to test whilst it sits in a watch box but I'll see! Hopefully my results are 'normal'. I'm probably just being OCD and should just chill and appreciate it, but Watchfinder said they did a timing test... |
