I have a 305 about 3 years old and there is an issue with the winding stem. I can wind the watch and advance the hour hand but when pulled fully out I cannot advance the time (all hands).

AD says they MAY be able to fix for $75 without sending to Panerai. I hope that is the case. I thought of trading it for a 1305 but would have to kick in too much $. I'd "need" to have a PAM with 26mm lugs due to my strap collection!

I will advise once repair is done.

Yeah get it repaired first. For submersibles 1305 is your best bet, otherwise you have to go above 10k retail to find another 47mm.
I think you are gonna end up kicking in 4-5k to trade , you can wait a little longer with the watch repaired until you feel comfortable with adding extra cash for a trade

The other watches that come to mind at 47mm (26mm lugs) are the classics : Pam 372, Pam 557, Pam 422 , Pam 423.

Good luck

Full movement service at PSC would be $600 to $800. If you like your 305, just have it serviced and it would be as good as new. :)

Keep the 305, but send it to the service center.

Don't let the AD mess around with it.

If you trust the AD then let them have a try. The worst that will happen is they can not repair it and off to the Service Center it goes. I would not trade the watch. You got it right it just needs a repair.

Jona · 31 July 2019, 10:56 PM

Thanks for the advice. My AD has Panerai trained techs and I trust them to either fix it or have me send it in. I have confidence that they won't hose it. I agree that 4-5k extra for the new movement isn't worth it.

The AD successfully resolved the issue for the poultry sum of $75. I just wish the timekeeping were better. Won't mess until service time. It's not a daily wearer so I set it 15 seconds slow and let it catch up.

Nicely done ✅

Good to hear this, nice.

1William · 2 August 2019, 08:45 PM

Well done. Your AD should be able to regulate the watch should you choose. It can do much better than 15 seconds a day.

Thanks for the support. I really like the 47mm and heft of this piece. My other PAM is a 176 which I love for its simplicity.
