What triggers me more is that Panerai used to make some good affordable watches like the PAM104 based on the ETA 7750 and then they decided to make a lot of in-house movement based watches with questionably useful complications and even more questionable build quality. I thought they’d improved since my mate’s PAM321 was a complete dog that Panerai couldn’t make run after 3 services but then a bloke I worked with used his Amex platinum card service to effectively lemon-law his that was similar to this after it spent more time in for repairs than on his wrist.
It’s not that often that in this modern age you see watches with in-house movements that repeatedly need and fail to be fixed from new like that.
