PAM213 Case Issue, Quick Release Stuck

[ty__mcleod]

Hello,

I have a PAM 213 that i have had for about 7 years. The last few years one of the quick release buttons is stuck and I cannot get it unstuck. Had one person look at it and they couldn't either. Is this going to be a case replacement?

The Panerai Boutique in Aspen, Colorado is located at 400 E. Hyman Ave., Aspen, CO 81611. Their phone number is (970) 544-1868.

Maybe they can help. Let us know how it works out.

From what I’ve heard from a long time ago, it’s a case replacement. Would be happy to learn otherwise. Please let us know.

It could be crud, build up etc. lodged inside the mechanism. I’d try soaking it in a cup of water for a bit and then trying again.

I would try the soaking as suggested and some high pressure air to it. Short of any success then back to Panerai. Good luck and keep us posted.

Man I hope you get it sorted, that’s a bummer.

Please keep us posted

This was my worry as well from my research that it was sort of a common issue on these mechanisms.

I wouldn't say this is a common problem with the system. Out of thousands of cases with it only a few have had that issue. I have no worry about purchasing a panerai with that system.

I have not had a chance to take it to a Panerai dealer for inspection.
