Panerai service other than AD

I have a 359 inbound and I want to get it polished/serviced (it's an M serial). Are there any good Panerai watchmakers in the Northeast that can do a service/polish at a reasonable price? I have heard some horror stories from some who have sent off to the AD service ctr and just want to keep my options open. Thanks!

if i’m not mistaken it has an in-house movement (p9000) and would need to go back to panerai. unless you can find a local authorized watchmaker that can get the parts.

my first question would be why do you want to send it for a service? if it ain’t broke don’t fix it.

if you do send it to pasc it will be fine, i’ve had nothing but good experiences with them

congrats and enjoy

I'd wear the watch for a week first and see what sort of time it keeps before stampeding off to a service.

My 359 is the most accurate watch I own, typically gains about five seconds in three weeks.

Be sure to post some pics when you get it, I love my ol' dirty dial. Here’s mine on. Dangerous9 Swiss ammo strap and it says hi

Nice selection on the watch. Sit tight for a while and enjoy the watch before you send it off. Might not need it.

One of the best shots of the 359 I've seen here
