Need Help: Bezel marker fell out PAM243

[gte587t]

I posted a WTB at the link below with the same details but figured I'd reach out here for good measure as well.

https://forum.replica-watch.info/forum/wanted-parts-request/9091417-wtb-bezel-marker-for-panerai

I woke up the other day to the horror of noticing my favorite watch was missing a bezel marker.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have confirmed, the markers are of the same size on my PAM 243 and 42mm Carbotech.

As long as it is metal markers I'll be in good shape. I just need the 15 marker.

PLEASE HELP! I am CONUS and willing pay.

You really should just post such threads in the WTB section.

I did .. its the link at the top of my post. I figured most of the Panerai community didn't read there, so I'd reach out here as well.

The hunt is on. Right? I had something similar to this happen when the pearl fell off my 1616. I went nuts looking for a replacement. And the 1616 was still in production, Li told me he couldn’t get me the pearl but he could get me the entire bezel for... I don’t know, like $100 And my thought was why spend $100 when it’s just the pearl and I spent about $100 trying to make the pearl yet it still doesn’t look 100%. Close but not 100.

as far as that piece goes, it looks like it’s going to be a pain in the Ass to find/fix.

So there are a few things you can do or ways I’d try to fix that. First... ask everyone. I found different people to do different things. Like on eBay, that guy - what’s his name? Watchoutlet999 or watchwholesale99? He makes many of the parts he sells. I contacted him asking about a crystal gasket got a Rolex gmt and he said “I don’t have one but if you send me what you need, I can make it”.

i also found another guy on eBay who makes markers and pearls and lume and hands for watches. I couldn’t find what I wanted specifically but when I asked him, he made me 4 different versions of the pearl to try out.

there is also a guy from the UK I believe, who sells genuine Panerai parts and he states that he can get any parts short of case, crystals, and dials. Maybe he can get you a gen replacement.

if that fails (and it will probably take a while to run down those roads and determine whether they’re dead ends or not) I’d start scoping out similar watches you can scrap for parts. Maybe you can find a parnis for $100 and pop off the marker.

Thank you for the advice! I appreciate, I have already begun inroads on these paths but time will tell.

Cheers!

Yes, I saw that. What I meant was just to post there. Imagine how cluttered the discussion boards would be if everyone would post their WTB threads there as well as in the proper section. Please understand the reason behind this restriction. Thank you and good luck.

I understand, next time it won't happen
