debbiesmith1 Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 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). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky driver Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 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? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spooky driver Posted October 5, 2009 Report Share Posted October 5, 2009 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
