Did it stop randomly when you're wear it or did it stop randomly even while sitting on the desk?

Hello need help with my PAM 029 that stopped running after wearing it a couple weeks.

pics and info are here:

https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/panerai/10188631-dead-pam-029-attempt-to-repair

I was advised to do a movement swap as an option. What are your thoughts on this? Thank you!

Two questions before trying to help :
1 - you wrote "got that watch back in 2013" ... did it stop recently or is it seating in a dtawer since then ?
2 - where are you based ?

1. Where are you located? This will make a difference for who we would suggest you reach out to to perform the swap.

2. As said in the other thread, just by a new movement and have it installed. As said it's a Hangzhou 6460. They cost about $120 to $130 for a brand new one so it's not worth having the existing one service as it's been sitting for a decade and broke right off the bat. You can buy them from any number of sources below I'm linking a couple of options.

Your best bet is to stick with US-based watchsmiths. Katt is one, vacuum, watchservicesny are a couple other options also. There's many others as well but these are a couple that I have personally had work done on by, including Katt, and was happy.
