Watch Damage Questio

[debbiesmith1]

Hi all,

I dropped my beloved Panerai Daylight Chrono this morning on the floor.

It hit face down.

I picked it up and it looked okay but at a second look the second hand at 9 was no longer at 9.

It was floating around the bottom of the watch.

I was wondering how big a deal would it be to get it fixed.

The movement I guess is an Asian 7750 (some Asian movement anyway).

I don't know whether the hand was screwed on , pressed on or sort of welded on.

Would it be repairable (easily).

I know nothing in detail about watches and have never opened one.

I am wondering if it would be cheaper to replace than bring to a shop to be repaired (and would they be able to

repair them anyway. From reading this site hand and things can be very delicate on reps).

debbie i would say it is a very easy job for a watchsmith but i wouldnt recommend trying yourself. do you have a rep friendly watchsmith near you?

Hi Spooky,

I don't know of one yet. I'm in Ireland so its a small place. I don't know how fussy they are.

Say in your country what would someone charge for such a job.

I dont know if it would be cheaper to try and get a replacement.

I love that watch so much.

Kind Regards

Debbie

hi debbie i'm from the north and i am lucky there is a independent jeweller in my town that will have a look at most things and if he cant fix it then he will send it away. most shops if they are not autorised dealers will have a look for you. but whatever you do dont go into Brown Thomas, or any AD, as they will laugh at you as An Garda S
