15400 date wheel
I happened to change the date on my 15400 this morning at around 9:00 AM because I was a day behind. As I was winding, the gears seemed to be tight and it didn't appear that the date was changing properly. Is there a specific time that you can not adjust the date with on this movement?

Possibly the most difficult link removal I've dealt with, but came out fine.Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G925A using Tapatalk

5980/1A (white) or 5960/1A
Just received a call from my AD.. Out of surprise while I am STILL waiting for my 5235G (I missed the opportunity recently due to my traveling schudule), I am being offered both double sealed 5980/1A (white) and the 5960/1A both at the same price. I owned a 5980/1A briefly (for only a week) before, sold it to a good friend who love the watch more than I do during that time and now I kinda regret cos I like even more now than ever and getting a brand new double sealed is not easy. I think out of all the SS 5980, the white dial is least popular.. I only seen them in the wild couple of times while the black and blue are common (I love the blue btw) The 5960/1A is really hot right now and it is one of the latest PP, hence will be a great addition maybe might end up too popular? No? PS. I am buying the watch for my own use. Daily beater. Love to hear your thoughts.Thank you in advance for your kind feedbacks! .. Jane

Quick rant...
Last year my 233 had to be serviced because the hour hand would get stuck around midnight. Even though all my watches see very limited use because of my heavy rotation I was ok with it since I had the watch for a few years and I bought it used... surprisingly, I found the major service reasonable at around $800. More importantly, they did a good job and did not damage my watch or left any dust/lint under the crystal (I've read the many horror stories from PASC so I was worried as hell)... and all in about 2 months if I recall correctly. Fast forward to this past weekend... my PAM 305 now seems to have an issue that will require servicing. Seems to be getting stuck around 10:45 pm and when adjusting the date by moving the hour hand it does not click every hour like it used to (can still hear the click but it's very faint now and weak on the notches if you know what I mean). So another trip to Panerai BH... can only cross my fingers that this time will also be a reasonable service cost
