Any rep friendly watch repair person should be able to put the hand on. I just got my SOSF from VAC for a service and lume and so far its been very good. I also sent in my panerai/ferrari to a trusted repair person from RWI don't know if he is over here.

What movement is in your watch?

I would start with the trusted ones if you want a service or cleaning. I think The Zigmeister is still not accepting stuff (if he is someone should let me know so I can get some stuff there lol). VAC was really good with getting my stuff taken care of and the quality is really good.

Thanks, Im embarrassed to say I dont know the exact movement. How can I check? Its a TI 177 or 117 unbranded pam. Nothing wrong with the movement. I dropped the watch and thats how the hour hand popped off. How may I get in contact with this person Vac?

I take mine to a local watchmaker, he doesn't care if it's rep or real, he will service it. If you live in a larger city you can typically find a guy who will repair all your watches. Just don't take it into a large chain store or an AD for the brand, those are bad places for reps. :unsure: Most of the higher end reps have the same movements as the real ones, so service will be about the same anyway.

I'm with Willith. Find a local watchsmith. There's nothing like having a guy close by to work on your watches. Most "independent" watchsmiths don't care. They're happy for the business. In my case the watchsmith even complimented me on the watch I had serviced, my heavily modded B&R 03.

Ok side question: How did the hour hand fall off, and the minute hand stay on???

A watchmaker can do maintenance/repairs, but they are not going to stock rep panerai hands :brow: (if the hour hand is broken)

Davidson would probably repair/replace it for free (he did that for me once), but it is going to take a looonnng time and cost a fair bit to ship.

Just my 2c.
