mf11 Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 Looking for some help please guys. I have the watch below and love it but it's not holding it's automatic charge at all now. http://www.watcheden.net/panerai-luminor-firenze-gmt-automatic-with-blue-dial-leather-strap-i-50838-p-1.html Is there anyone out there (UK hopefully) that could perhaps replace my auto movement with a battery / wind-up one? Any help appreciated. Thanks, Michael. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike on a bike Posted July 28, 2012 Report Share Posted July 28, 2012 mf11 what about bring it to watch smith let him fix movement. I have read in the past a couple of UK members who have such contacts that they are happy with. Can not tell you who do not remember, maybe shout box one will help you, worth a shot.

txcollector Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 These Watcheden models are cheap, very low quality and designed to be thrown away when they break (which is often). Don't waste your money on those. It looks like a good idea that end up costing more. Money down the garbage chute. No watchsmith I know would touch them. Replacing the movement is not an option (dial, hands, date wheel won't work with a different movement) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
