Panerai OP X

[Gaus]

Hello fellow watchlovers,

 

I have here a Panerai Luminor with a caliber OP X (based on ETA 6497-1). The movement runs but the firts ten minutes the hands don't move. After ten minutes it runs well all the time. My first option is the cannon pinion? Are there other suggestions? Thank you for your help.

I think you need to look at the works under the dial.

Hi  I think close inspection of the cannon pinion/hour wheel and their drive train is called for. Has the watch been serviced/cleaned and oiled, or is this just a cursory observation in the first place.

Hello Oldhippy and watchweasol, Thanks for your answers. This is just a first observation, but I thought it is strange. I will inspect the movement further, with you answers, and I 'll let you know. Sincerely, Hans

Hello people, I promised to let you all know what the problem was with the Panerai. There was a problem with the two setting wheels. They use some kind of grease, and far too much. As I removed their bridge, the wheels came  of whit the bridge as if they where glued. So I cleaned the parts carefully and oiled them again (little D5) and put all together again. Afterwards it runs nice again. Thank you for you help.
