Oh Greatmistake.gif! Now you've gone and done it. The last thing any of us needs is an excuse to buy another watch:D.

Pisser!! Talk to the manufacturer and let them offer a solution. If and when that fails have the case refinished. And watch the handoff!!mistake.gif

I really like that new model they have. Have always liked squareish cases with rounded edges but the dials don't have that little extra. But this new one is getting closer, atleast it made me look twice.

BTW:IWW is only taking in select Panerai pieces for PVD coatings as of now. I just received an email from them stating this. I was going to have a watch coated,guess not nowmistake.gif


FYI, I did get a response from Jack over at IWW and he confirmed they are not accepting parts but entire watches only...

"We are only able to accept complete watches for PVD coating at this time."

Good to know at least!

I'm not to keen on the new Airforce watch face. I like my old one better.

I shot them an email. Talking to them could prove very dangerous.

Knowing me I'd end with a new crown and another watch to boot. :P

As a temp fix, try using black touch-up paint of perm marker to blend it

I know the feeling - I had to send my 3T Orsa back to have the date wheel adjusted as it was hanging up.  But just think you get to look forward to the rush of getting it back again, all nice and new...   will be worth it...  hand6.gif
