User_Name: Bill P.Follow-up Question:Donald,
Thanks for the response. I was unable to locate any specific
information on winding the watches in the Panerai manual, and will
write the company and copy you on their responses. So far, they have
seemed very helpful. There is a Official Panerai shop here in Beverly
Hills where I purchased my watches, but they were unable to answer my
questions about winders in general initially.
I have two Panerai and one on order:
Radiomir GMT/Alarm PAM00098- Movement is 31 jewels, monometallic
Glucydur balance with Nivarox I spring (whatever that means), 28,800
alternations/hour Incabloc anti-shock device, with a 47 hour reserve.
Luminor Marina PAM00104- OP III Calibre, with 42 hr. reserve
Luminor 1950 Rattrapante PAM00213- OP XVIII calibre
I'll email them in the morning an let you know what their reply is,
Thanks again for the help, I should receive my
Orbita watch winder in the next few days (shipped today),
Best Regards,
Bill P.
Answer:Dear Bill,
Hello this is Joyce. Donald had me check the data bases for your watches and I have listed the directions and Turns Per Day (TPD) recommended for your watches. However, please note that chances are good that if you set the winder Clock Wise (CW) or Bidirectional (both) it will work.
Radiomir GMT/Alarm PAM00098 - Base GP or Caliber OP VII 28,800 alternations/hour with a 47 hour reserve. 44mm.
RECOMMENDED Bi-directional at 650 TPD.
Luminor Marina PAM00104 - OP III Calibre, with 42 hr. reserve 44mm
RECOMMENDED Clock Wise (CW) 800 TPD
Luminor 1950 Rattrapante PAM00213- OP XVIII caliber 44mm
The data base only had TBD (To Be Determined).
Perhaps Panerai will have further information to share with you. Therefore Donald indicated to try Both at a high TPD setting and see how that fairs with winding the watch if it works great and but if it fails try 800 CW.
Please be assured that this will not damage the watch (with a trial/error) it will either
wind or gradually stop. If you do get a reply from Panerai, please remember to send the information to us.
Thank you for shopping with watchcases.com!
Sincerely,
Joyce

User_Name: Bill P.Original Question:You just shipped a
Orbita Monaco watch winder to me and I was hoping you could give me the 2 or 3 questions I should ask Panerai to ensure I set my watch winders correctly for that make of watch.
Regards,
Bill P.
Original Answer:Bill,
Reply in this email (hit "reply to all" so my customer service gets it too) with the model name and number of your Panerai, should be something like Panerai, Caliber OP III or some other Roman #.
You need to ask them (or read in manual)
1. How many hand turns of the winding stem for watch to be fully wound?
2. What direction does your caliber watch wind in? Clock Wise, Counter clockwise or Both directions?
3. What is the minimum TPD? Minimum Turns Per Day needed to keep watch wound?
You should regularly hand wind the watch, even when using the winder it is not a bad idea at least weekly, but before you put it on the winder you should hand wind it to at least 50-80% of capacity.
I love Panerai watches, I was just looking at one last night in fact, but passed on the purchase. I do not as of yet own one, but I do admire them!
"turns per day"
Chances are the watch requires 1 of 2 settings, either Bi-Directional both directions at 650 TPD or Clockwise winding and 800 minimum TPD "turns per day" to stay wound.
What Caliber is your Panerai? Roman numerals Caliber OP III, through Caliber XIX?
If you tell us we may be able to find the correct setting before you get a reply from Panerai.
Do tell us the answers you are given by Panerai, if any, and if you have time or inclination send us a picture of your watch on the winder!
You made a wise choice in the
Orbita Monaco watch winder, I know it was expensive, but this watch needs a good winder!
Sincerely,
Donald Geib
