jclockwork Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 Hi, Any experience of rep. Panerai chronos' water resistance? I would think, that compared to other rep. PAM models, chronograph models (162, 188, 196 etc.) might be more vulnerable to water damage? Are chrono pushers sealed in reps? ...does a frog have a watertight ass? rgds, JCW Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rolli Posted January 28, 2008 Report Share Posted January 28, 2008 my watchmaker tested the 250 and 251, both are waterproof. he was very astounded, he would have bet that chronos are mostly not waterproof, but he would have lost. rolli Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hooky Posted February 1, 2008 Report Share Posted February 1, 2008 Hi, I have the PAM253 with Chrono. I swim with it, also shower. Before doing so i had it waterproof tested. When i opened the caseback and removed the crown stem, i saw that none of the O rings were greased to fully protect against water. So i greased them with Bergean sticky grease. The one thing i do not know how to protect are those CHRONO PUSHERS. Anyone has an idea if the chronopushers also can be protected, for maintenance, to keep them waterproofed, even after 5 years??
