Amazing. I was just thinking about this one the other day.
Love the 98!
The most common problem has been the lack of power reserve
Even after fully winding and wearing it all day, it stops running a few minutes after removing from wrist. Or if you choose to wear it while sleeping, it would stop overnight. Even Panerai service cannot get it to store some power.
I do not know and every time it comes back from service I am told "it's working fine" which is true except for the PR.
What's even worse is that my 24 has the exact same problem. That one has a movement based on the Valjoux 7750. ...
Maybe a Specialist instead of Panerai?
There are some amazing people still out there that can diagnose and repair these movements and take pride in their craft
Never had a problem with this one or any of the other watches I have with the same movement…
Knock on wood. It’s on a Hermes band meant for an Apple watch 😀 ...
Always like this cool piece… you must walk and move incredibly smoothly!
No PR to keep it charged
