R19 Posted July 7, 2008 Report Share Posted July 7, 2008 (edited) I bought a Panerai Luminor 18 months ago and when it arrived one of the hands had fallen off. It was fairly quickly replaced but the replacement would often stop. I got that replaced as well but the third watch frequently fails to start properly and a piece has recently worked loose. I really love the watch but I am wondering if it is possible to get a reliable example or is the range inherently fragile. Any ideas?

Any ideas? no problems so far for me, 2 PAMs and perfect timekeeping out of the box. O.K., I did one minor repair... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmeister Posted July 8, 2008 Report Share Posted July 8, 2008 I am guessing that you have an asian 21j. Pick up an ETA or newer Asian 7750. They are the only ones that are still made that have given me trouble. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
