Bought a second hand 005 lately.

After a few days, the watch keep stopping by itself, have to manually reset the watch to the correct time and it stopped again after a while.

What could be the problem?

Are you winding it every day?

panerai09 · 5 January 2013, 03:16 AM

First few days is ok, only today the problem starts. After 1 wind to the correct time. It stops again after a while....

It's a manual wind. So it will stop running after about 48hrs unless you give it another full wind. So wind it every morning (or night) and you should be good to go.

Hope that helps.

Nope, it stops every 15-20 mins....

Are you winding it till it stops (or you feel resistance) or are you winding just a few times? If it's still doing that after a full wind, then you should take back to where you got it.

Sounds like not fully winding it, hope that is all it is. Wind it till it stops, don't force it, you will know when you het the end.

Thanks all, think i got the problem fixed...still learning hehe

What was the problem. Was it that you were not winding it all the way or was something wrong. Just curious.

Psmith · 5 January 2013, 04:27 PM

Fully wound, it should run for up to around 60 hrs (Panerai increase the power reserve over the standard movement)

Wind it every other day to be on the safe side

Sounds like the OP thought it was an automatic piece...

Or just winding it the wrong direction.
