Hello, as you see the crown protection is totally lost.
Where can I make it repair without going to the Panerai Shop at Florence, which would cost an eye..

Any hint?

Thanks a lot

Cru Jones · 15 April 2017, 03:52 AM

Do you mean it came off and you still have the parts, or you lost the parts? If the former, I would think you or any watchmaker could screw if back together. If the latter, you'll need to go through Panerai to get OEM parts. Good luck.

picture not showing? or just me?

RHJ · 15 April 2017, 08:13 AM

unfortunately the pieces are really lost

stockae92 · 15 April 2017, 08:45 AM

wow! didn't expect that it would completely come off like that

Looks to be in rough shape.

Cru Jones · 15 April 2017, 03:35 PM

Can you post a picture from above looking down at the watch?

RHJ · 15 April 2017, 08:09 PM

It's an 18 year old one of a friend of mine. PAMnnn

RHJ · 15 April 2017, 08:18 PM

He's working as an Restaurator, so his watch has a thought life...

jenniferjanef · 15 April 2017, 09:05 PM

W O W !

What model is this? Looks like Fiddy with a special movement?

1William · 15 April 2017, 09:37 PM

A friend just went through this and the AD told him that the watch would have to be returned to Panerai for the part. Panerai also required a service as the watch had not been serviced in over 10 years. Total cost, $800.00.

I feared this, but wanted to be sure.

You can tell your friend 1 of 2 things, depending on your friend.

1. Save your money and just get another replica.
2. Sorry bro, you have a replica.

I thought it looked funny from profile picture, but the movement pic confirmed.

Bingo !

Seems like your friend has bigger problems than a broken CG.....

fullcourt · 16 April 2017, 03:05 AM

spotted a mile away....lol

RHJ · 16 April 2017, 06:05 AM

This will be a bad news for my friend, because it was a gift he received.

I will inform him about your consideration.
Thanks for the information!

by the way, the avatar doesn't matter : it's a mix between a Seamaster 300 and an Explorer.

RHJ · 16 April 2017, 06:32 AM

Before giving the bad news I want to understand how you see this. From the photo I would presume it's a OP II 17J, Unitas based. What's wrong with the one here?
OP II 17J:

Cru Jones · 16 April 2017, 07:01 AM

^ Have your friend look at the case, dial and movement of a 127.

I looked now on chrono24 and saw the difference between the movements.
This will be a bitter pill to digest.

Thanks for your help and sharing.

OP II 17J:

TRF doesn't like to discuss fakes. It is just something you learn over time. When I saw the profile picture of your first picture I could tell it was off. The dial and movement confirmed it for me.

Mfer, you mean OP use his friend's 127 photo as his profile picture? Sorry I am confused.

RHJ · 16 April 2017, 07:39 PM

Hello, I've done my homework now and understood, that it is a replica
http://timetapestry.blogspot.de/2007...nerai-127.html

The 117/1950 on the caseback and the different movements show clearly, that it isn't a real PAM00127.

Thanks to you all - and now the hard part: Tell him ...
