It could possibly be a mainspring fault, as its not holding tension neither via stem nor rotor and therefore only giving you a few seconds of power.

Three quarters of movement would need to come apart to get to the mainspring barrel where the

problem maybe with click wheel, barrel arbor or mainspring itself. I may be wrong but thats where i would point my finger.

Certainly not a job that you should have to deal with on a brand new watch. Sending it back is your only realistic option and dont take no for an answer.

Goodluck

You guys are funny!!

I think they only started doing the "cut out" rotors recently, as alot of the gen carreras you see have the same rotors as the asian reps.

IMHO the newer "cut out" rotors do look very cool! We'll see how long before it too gets repped.

It seems there was a mix up at the factory (in china) on that day cos the orange chrono hand and subdial colour should only be on the brown dial/bezel carrera

and i think the blue dial carrera too. There is 2 black dial models, one is the tachy racing (red chrono hands and silver lining on the subdials) and one is the non racing black carrera (silver subdials and silver chrono hands).

Go to the Tag website you can see them all there.

I would try to source another carrera on the cheap maybe used, and swap the pieces you need to make it accurate.

In terms of the solid feeling and weight of the carrera case, the reps are the real deal. Infact if you closed your eyes and put one in each hand you would probably not be able to tell the difference.

So get yourself the correct dial and hand colour combinations and a ETA movement swap with correct date font, swap the rotor from the rep (cos it has the correct Tag engraving and is interchangable as its also a 7750) As tag do no modifying to the 7750 ETA eubache in the carrera and you have a gen minus the paperwork and box!

its worth the money and time if you can afford it as you will enjoy wearing it with pride.

Goodluck.

Thanks for the replys. Although i did try manual winding before bed time but it was to no avail.

Guess i will just continue to reset the time every morning for now.

Hi all, this is my first post here. I recently accuired a great Pam088 GMT rep that i swapped+cash for an omega rep.

Since then been reading alot here learning about Panerais, and really enjoying it.

Thing is she works fine when im wearing her all day including accurate GMT movement, but when i take it off at night

it seems to stop halfway through the night as if it ran out fo gas. When i wear it in the morning again it starts beating fine again.

This is a pain as i need to reset the time every morning.

If anyone can shed some light on this would be greatley appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
