Panerai - service needed?

[NewbieP99]

Hi guys

Owned a panerai for 6 yrs, no real problems.

Does this type of watch require a service or not? Any recommendations for where to do it in london if so? Rough cost?

Cheers

Yup, and 6 years is about the right time. Servicing is really a strip down and clean of the the movement, refilling the lubricating oil, adjusting the timing and changing a seal or two. I expect Panerai will charge a few hundred and it'll take a month or two. I know a chap though in Ealing who will do it for a lot less, to exactly the same standard and probably have it back to you in a week or two. http://www.classicchronographs.co.uk/development/a...
