Second time in the last couple of days it's done it, so off to the service centre for my poorly 233, don't worry too much, this is not a common occurance and i am officially the second person in the UK ever to have this happen, the first being more of an accident with the watch rather than through usage.

Let this be a warning to all strapaholics, changing straps may be hazardous to your PAMs health

is this covered by warranty?

The same thing happened to my Pam 250, and yes it's covered under warranty, but I was still made to pay shipping and insurance which worked out to just over $100.

I see that you live in Vancouver. Did you have your watch shiiped to the service centre through the local AD? My 233 is also having problem and I had it shipped to Richemont Toronto which in turn shipped it to Switzerland for the repair (and I'm still waiting for it be be back after 6 weeks). I paid $100 + taxes on shipping through this AD even though the watch is covered warranty.

I'm not too happy with their charge since the IWC AD in town charged half of that amount on shipping.

Sorry to hear that Ryan... Hope your watch can get repaired fast.... Now I will be more careful with changing straps.

Trurolexer · 25 July 2009, 03:31 PM

OH MY...Sorry to hear that...

TswaneNguni · 25 July 2009, 04:31 PM

Interesting,the 233 has quick change and the 289 has historical screws.

5onic · 25 July 2009, 07:51 PM

Sorry to hear about this Ryan - I sure hope your experience with the PAM service centre is a positive one.

All the best

argee1977 · 25 July 2009, 08:56 PM

It's on its way back to the service centre now, they said to take it back if it fell out again, so it'll be a few weeks without the PAM

VazLube · 25 July 2009, 09:34 PM

Oh man!

argee1977 · 25 July 2009, 09:56 PM

I don't often believe in coincedance, but on the day the RWC arrived this happened, is someone upstairs telling me to wear the RWC

c2tcardin · 25 July 2009, 10:14 PM

Yikes, I'll have to keep an eye on mine! I hope your experience is better than others when it comes to dealing with Panerai service.

Let's see some pics of the RWC.

Hi Ryan,

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but after 10000 strap changes the button warranty is void.

From what i'm now hearing one month might be a bit on the generous side

argee1977 · 28 July 2009, 08:59 PM

Well, not to try and show that i do change straps a lot, my second new strap arrived this week, without a watch to put it on

5onic · 28 July 2009, 09:19 PM

I could always try it out for you

Goodluck Ryan and lets hope its not too long although you do have another PAM to ease the pain somewhat

5onic · 28 July 2009, 09:55 PM

whoops double post

VazLube · 29 July 2009, 02:21 AM

That's sweet strap, can you send it to me so I can baby sit for you?

Is it Cujo strap right?

argee1977 · 29 July 2009, 04:30 AM

Yeah, it's the Cujo, lovely colour, lovely finish and feels quite soft, so hopefully i'll get to try it out soon, maybe

VazLube · 30 July 2009, 01:38 AM

Oooh, gotta order for myself pronto. I was bit leery regarding the colour.

MASSIMO OSTI · 31 July 2009, 04:12 AM

JJ Irani · 31 July 2009, 04:14 AM
