Hi. I have an 11 year old PAM00025. It was my every-day wear in the early years though not so in the last few years. I'm thinking of having it serviced and polished edited

Can you recommend a good place that I can send the watch for servicing? I've read horror stories about the Panerai service center in Texas so am thinking of an alternate.

Thanks.

These are pre in-house movements from what i remember.
Should be able to any reputable watchsmiths. Not necessarily the service center.
Itd be cheaper too.

I hate sending watches to service centers. Unless covered by warranty

It is a val7750. Just find a quality local in your area. Nothing special needed here unless you are talking replacement hands/bezel/crystal. Just a service and movement parts can be had by watchmakers.

Ah. Thanks so much.

Hugues Chatel is an authorized Panerai watchmaker, and does great work. He's very knowledgeable about Panerais, is a collector himself, and will ensure that your watch is serviced correctly, while maintaining its tritium components.

I've used him several times, and can vouch for his skill and professionalism.
