QC Pics for my Panerai 288

[Bibirisca]

Hey guys,

Just made a order with Josh and I need your help. I need your opinions of this QC Pics because it's really my first order and I don't have "your eyes" yet

Here it goes:

All the reviews have been nothing but glowing on the 288, I doubt yours will be any different and if there are any massive issues I'm sure Josh will sort it, worry not just enjoy the watch for what it is.

ASk him to confirm Chrono function as this is the only issue I have heard of with these.

Also ask if he can tighten lug screws and double check these when you get them preferably with Loctite once you have the strap you want on it

not an expert, but looking good!

I was thinking to buy the very same thing from Josh. My only worry is the A-7750. That's what Josh warns about on his site:

How do you set date on 7750 or 7753 or 7750b1 or any movt with date chrono/ automatic?

Do not activate the chrono until you have done all these steps as mentioned

When you receive your piece, please remember to handwind the piece for about maybe 50 rounds, so to generate enough power reserve. Then you shake the piece like a "mad cow" for 3-4 minutes to generate more power reserve (If necessary)

Then pull the crown out to adjust the hour hand manually to determine when is am/pm. See the date change - then you will know when is am/ pm. Make sure you know when is am/ pm before you proceed

Make sure you do not adjust the date between 10pm-3am ever!!! Do not ask me why because it just works this way. if you adjust between 10pm-3am, the date will jam or go half way.

After u have confirmed the am/ pm…..u can adjust the crown to get to the desired date you want.

As for the timer hand to reset back to zero, it is pure luck….u may have perfect reset, or less than perfect reset. My Genuine Rolex Daytona did not reset back to zero after 3 months. By the way, make sure everytime you activate chrono, you have enough power reserve. Have fun!!!

Make sure the crown screws all of the way. Not a big deal, but you won't want to have it lingering later.. This is a common issue with these and it seems yours is no different from the pic. Not a big issue though.
