Hi folks,

I just acquired a new PAM 753, manual wind Radiomir, that I really like as it is so different from the other watches in my collection. However, after a week, I see that is running about 10 spd slow - based on 6 position average on my timegrapher (full wind), as well as on wrist performance after a week.

This is much lower than what Panerai noted in their test data that came with the watch.

All else - positional variation, amplitude, beat error - is excellent.

Do you think I could send it in now, under warranty, for a regulation; or, has it been your experience that manual wind Panerai watches need more than a week to "settle"?

I suspect it might settle a little more, but not much.

Thoughts?

Thanks much for any comments.

The watch is 10 seconds slow after a week on the wrist, correct? If so, nothing to complain about.

As for settling, I find all watches tend to take weeks to settle in when new or after servicing.

10 seconds slow per day for each day after wearing it for one week??? Is this correct?

yes, 10 spd, losing about a minute a week

Aha, that calls for regulating.

Well, after reading another thread on this forum about a Panerai running fast due to magnetization, I decided to check my new one. To my surprise, it was ever so slightly moving the compass needle. So, I ran it through the demagnetizer a few times. To my further surprise, the numbers were back to spec, i.e., -1 spd on timegrapher. Don't know how the magnetization happened, and surely didn't think it was the cause of my watch running slow, but lesson learned.
Thanks again folks!
