Running really fast!

[luvwtch]

Hello!

I got my hubby a Panerai last Christmas from Trusty Time (LOVE It, btw!) and it has been great except lately it has been running really fast........as in hours!!! At 400 today it said 530.....now at a little after 9 it says 12!!!! What in the world is up????? What can we do to fix it?

that would mean it's time to get serviced. that watch is a beaut though for sure!

Where (how) do I get it serviced?

[FxrAndy]

As it is a rep chrono i would only recomend Ziggy but he is taking time off for now. I cant think of any others, does any one else know of any one who will service an asian 7750?

What about Marrickville Boy? Currently in NY I beleive.

Sad to say....It looks like the early slow beat 7750 POS movement that has been the cause of much grief among the folks that have owned them ....You might get lucky and find someone to give it a good oiling, that would probably rectify the problem, since running very fast is a symptom of reduced amplitude resulting from a lack of lubrication...A common fault with these movements....Good luck!!

I wouldn't even know where to begin to look for someone to give it a "good oiling" being that it is a rep. Bummer, it is such a great looking watch and has held up so well in all other areas.....a shame he only got a year out of it.

OK sounds like it needs serviced or a new movement

At the minute there is a group buy for the new asian 7750 movements for $130 each.

Let me know if you want one

What does hubby do? Could the watch have been exposed to high magnetic fields? (ie: welding, test equipment or degauss equip?)

If so, the hairspring could be magnetized...
