Pam 372 Lume question/ Issue

I picked up a "N" Series Pam 372 from a reputable seller on the forum, worked out a F2F transaction locally. Came with all the box papers receipt etc. This is my first Pam and have notice that it does no lume up like a lot of other Panerai's that I have seen in shops etc. Does my Pam need a service since it is about 5 Years old?

Thanks in advance
-Ted

the glow is a bit different due to the faux patina ... at a service they would not replace the dial or re-lume it.

post pictures ... that would/could be of help

Try to go close to a light or pot light with the watch and that's what you should get mine is a P series.

Thanks for the heads up...

This is my first Panerai own, now where to find great straps here in the US?
Let the strap madness start is what I have been told by Panerai owners

I've had very good experience with Gunny Straps and Toshi Straps. I love Caitlin 1/Caitlin 2 from Gunny and Storm Grey/Storm Blue from Toshi.

Im giving an American strap maker a try right now because he's had good reviews: https://strappedwatchcompany.com
