wguy Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 After reading Wheaton's excellent photo review of the PAM 312L. I've been thinking about getting one (currently available from Josh for $228). Read a post from a few years back that recommended that you pay extra to have the watch "serviced"--make sure the watch has been properly oiled etc.) 1. Do you still recommend that I have this done by Josh? 2. Does anyone make a good 312 rep with a swiss ETA? Thanks for any help you can provide wguy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miagi Posted November 13, 2011 Report Share Posted November 13, 2011 1. not recommended that you choose to buy this service from the dealers. get a good watchmaker to do this for you. local or one from this forum. the dealers wont do it properly, if anything at all. 2. no. cheers miagi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StormTooper4 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 1.) NO 2.) NO I have a DSN 229 with an A7750 , 3 years old runs like a champ never been serviced , had a few other A7750 they are good movements dont worry bout it until you need to . cheaper to buy a new one than pay for service 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watch.aholic Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 The 312L does not have a chrono hand so you can bet that the 7750 on it won't breakdown. So buy it with aplomb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dutchguy2 Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 All the above plus don't handwind it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blue_sphere Posted November 14, 2011 Report Share Posted November 14, 2011 You cannot fit a swiss ETA movement into it. I would hold off the servicing till it breaks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noel Fleischer Posted November 15, 2011 Report Share Posted November 15, 2011 Yep- why go looking for problems. Those 7750 tend to work well. My 359 feels really smooth. "If it aint broke, don't fix it". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
