Hello all, Just received my second replica watch a Panerai Pam 382 VSF v2. The watch is gorgeous. After taking it for a spin I notice how noisy the rotor is. I was wondering if anyone would be able to answer some questions when it comes to the A7750 movement. 1. Can I wind the watch with the crown (if so in what direction). 2. Can I change the date only or do I have to pass 12oc per date? 3. What would be the best oil to oil the ball bearings in the rotor? -----some of the post say to use Deoxit L260cp KT-22 Ofrei Moebious 9010 Moebious 9020 Thank you

Hey everyone, I wanted to start by saying how grateful I was to find this forum and the wealth of information it holds. Over the years I've collected a few reps along side a few gens and it was very much so a solo experience. My previous job has me traveling to Asia with somewhat frequency, so I would just purchase a handful of quality reps there and bring them back for myself and friends. Since changing roles, my travel has stopped and I needed a way to find quality products with real reviews., I spent some time googling and never felt comfortable purchasing online as I assumed the worst as far as quality. Well, that has changed after finding this site! I've ben searching for a Milgauss for some time and thanks to the reviews I was able to see for Trusty Time, I went ahead and purchased one! It should be arriving shortly and I'll definitely be doing a review once received. Alright, that being said. I need some help! Previously there was an older gentleman that ran a small watch shop that would do work on reps. A few years back, he closed and since I haven't had the need for any service. A few things I've read so far seem to imply I should be taking the watch I receive in for service almost immediately to ensure it's oiled and working properly. Is that accurate? If so, what type of service should I be looking for? That's only one part of the problem. Additionally, I am not sure the best way to go about finding someone in my town who will work on reps. Is there a good way to understand who will and won't without flat out asking? Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!
