243 Help Needed - If Possible
243 Help Needed - If Possible
Gents, I have an I series 243 which was PVD'd prior to me purchasing it a few years back. I love this watch and as most of you will have the same 'fever' as my wife calls it, I have a substantial amount of £'s invested in straps and buckles!
The issue is I am currently having it services in Liverpool U.K as the AD's wont touch it. Unfortunately the bezel spring is broken - has been for a long time. And I cant get a replacement.
I was just wondering does anyone have one knocking about?
Appreciate your help!

I don't have a spring knocking about but I'd love to see some pics of PVD 243 please.

Have you tried posting this on the Paneristi forum? It’s pretty quiet there these days, but many of the guys who are left are pretty knowledgeable.

Can't you send it to the manufacturer and source it directly?

Sadly not.....the owners of the group do not sell any spares.....
Re: 243 Help Needed - If Possible
As the finished was altered. Panerai as you mentioned won't touch it as they don't know what else was done. Probably nothing, but they don't want you screaming that the watch was damaged during the repair.
It's like when I worked in jewellery. We never called a diamond a diamond. Only a white stone in case someone tried to pull a fast one.
Either have to find a sympathetic Panerai service agent that will look at or live with it as Panerai won't sell parts
