Finally found the answer to why.....
I have been having problems with my watch running fast. And it gains something like 2 minutes a day on one occasion and 3 minutes a day on another. And the trouble maker is the security machine at the airport!!!! That machine you walk through for security can make your watch go crazy. Ever since then, I take my watch out and put it with my bag going through X-ray. And voila, no problems with magnetism ever since.
Panerai, Air travel, aircraft magnetism
Has anyone's Panerai been affected by aircraft's magnetism? I have noticed that it runs slow in the air . It lost about 5 minutes for the 12 hour flight. It has been 2 days now and since the flight, it works perfectly well. There has not been any signific...

Was it a automatic movement? In light of everything returning back to normal, if you did a 12 hour flight it may be possible that due to inactivity (sleeping on the plane, lack of movement of the wrist, doing nothing at the terminal waiting for the flight...

I was very careful the second time ( on the return leg) to make sure watch is fully wound, after changing the time back to local time. I went to sleep checking the time, and when I woke 8 hours later, it was already slow by 3 minutes. I checked the windin...
I personally never had problems while flying around......
and I fly a lot, with multiple Panerai's models. Just lucky I guess.... Cheers
A commercial plane magnetism
Was a B777. I have a chance to monitor it today against the cmoputers clock. In the last 24 hours, -2 secs difference. I will have a chance again to test out my observation when I fly again tomorrow.
I've never experienced that before and never heard of it
Maybe when you're on the plane, you have an electronic device always near your watch which is the culprit of the magnetism? - AT This message has been edited by AnthonyTsai on 2011-03-16 19:36:57
