I finally got around to timing my two month old PAM 177 (purchased BNIB) and found it to be over 60 seconds slow in 24 hours on a full wind. Ugh. My old PAM 48 didn't keep time accurately, either.

The 177 is under warranty, so I'm thinking about sending it off to Panerai Service Center in Texas. After reading the reviews here on TRF, that facility seems like amateur hour. Almost wondering whether it would be better to just take it to my local guy to be regulated. It would probably cost a couple hundred dollars, but no 2 month turnaround time & worries about it getting hacked up. What would you do?

I never seem to have these problems with my Rolexes, all of which are just about spot-on.
