PAM running slow

I bought a PAM090 from Reg a few weeks ago and have started wearing it this week since getting back off holiday. I've noticed that it's losing time despite a full wind to get the power reserve up to the 40 mark. I set the time against my PO (which keeps time beautifully) on Monday evening around 9.30 and by the next morning the PAM was still running but was around 10 minutes slow.

Does this sound like something that can be cured by adjusting the timing or a could it signal a more serious issue? If it is a timing issue, can anyone help me with some tips as to how to adjust it please? I've found various threads on here but I can't find one that relates the movement in my Pam.

Thanks,

Jimmy

Hi, I have that exact panerai pam90! And the movement in mine and yours is a seagull power reserve movement. I dont know how to calibrate though.. Hopefully thats some one expert in this can chime in and help.

Welcome. But things for me, has become worst. Because my pam90 movement I presume going to spoilt soon cus normally when the movement stop running, the power reserve bar which the hands should point at 0, isn't it? But mine point at maybe 20 or 40 while the second hand has stop moving.

Wow, that sounds a lot more serious than the problem I had. Hopefully someone will come along and help you out.
