PANERAI Pam.Guard - 8 Years of Warranty... YOUR opinion matters!

#Panerai #PamGuard
Please read & give me feedback... An extension of the international limited warranty up to eight years...

Once a profile is active, users will be able to register their watches online. Eligibility for "Pam.Guard" is limited to watches purchased no more than two years prior to the program’s launch date.
The "Pam.Guard" program is retroactive and customers owing a watch purchased over the last two years prior to the program launch can benefit from the "Pam.Guard" international limited warranty extension.

Together with the reliability of its watches, PANERAI reaffirms its reputation as a preeminent maker of timepieces with high technical and mechanical value - a reputation already established with a legacy of sophisticated, pioneering models.

Jean-Marc Pontroué, CEO of Panerai told us: “Pam.Guard communicates the true spirit of Panerai. Thanks to its strong, incisive concept, it goes beyond the traditional notions of customer support to reflect the advanced and innovative thinking that has always characterized the brand. It is a tool dedicated to the clients’ community, who PANERAI guides on an interactive journey to fully understand the technical and historical ethos of the brand. A proactive form of engagement with consumers and at the same time a way to strengthen the sense of belonging to the PANERAI community. With this long-term vision, extending the international limited warranty up to eight years is a natural, virtually inevitable step. This commitment was made possible by the very high level of technical efficiency and reliability achieved by watches produced by the PANERAI Manufacture in Neuchâtel”.

"Pam.Guard" goes beyond the concept of a conventional care program. It is a highly customized service interface accessible through multiple devices and formats (desktop, mobile, iPad, WeChat), that can also be activated at PANERAI and authorized retailers’ boutiques.

Personalized newsletters will call registered "Pam.Guard" members to deepen their knowledge of the brand at PANERAI point of sales in the world. They are essential part of the immersive, "Pam.Guard" experience, as are a series of special gifts.

To draw attention to the distinct mission of the "Pam.Guard" program, the Laboratorio di Idee devised for it a signature logo that depicts the iconic Luminor Marina PAM01312 dial, a universally recognizable and evocative image of PANERAI.

So basically the same as Jaeger-LeCoultre? You register the watch on their website and then they extend the warranty up to 8 years - the cover obviously excluding damage due to accidental breakage, misuse, etc.

Fine. Pretty soon _everyone_ (Rolex, Omega, etc, etc) will have to follow suit, won't they?

In fact, I think it should be like this: you get 8 years warranty from new. Then, after 8 years, you pay the manufacturer to do a service - and then you get _another_ 8 years warranty. This could continue for a total of 32 years, maybe. With modern manufacturing and quality control, there's no reason why this wouldn't work.

That's great, 8 years of extended warranty free of cost, hope other's follow suit.

All materials in the world have wear and not everything is perfect even in the automotive or aerospace world, there is something called six sigma and of every million pieces only 3.4 have error, it is low but still exists. You can also see the Panerai LAb ID has a 50 year warranty and maintenance free for the materials used. i think 8 years without review your watch, only bye the web and serial number,
It is a serious and admirable proposal.

[okanergene]

i registered and got my 8 year warranty.That's fantastic. But does it mean i don't need to service my watch in this 8 years?

[Senkatuka]

Is an optional extra or is it included in the purchase price?

[ThreeEyedJuan]

Great content. Any idea What kind of process does a service center do to have a watch's warranty checked if still valid or void?

PANERAI Should bring out less models where it was 6 years ago and it was more Exclusive than now. I have afew Panerai watches.

My buddy's Panerai broke 2 1/2 years after purchase. Just stopped. Too bad this extended warranty wasn't available a few months ago. If I were a Panerai buyer it'd be a no brainer to get this. Thank you for posting.

It definitely helps persuade me to buy Panerai now that I know they’re willing to stand behind the product. While I love Panerais, it’s always been more of a passion inspired purchase for me as I’ve turned to brands like Rolex, Omega, JLC, and IWC for true build quality. Hopefully, they will be able to change that opinion.

For me, Panerai is an elegant Tank! and thankfully it's not trying to be the "911" of watches.
I didn't see anyone complaining about Panerai regrading the movements so the 8year warranty will be useless.
They have to reduce the "PAM" numbers.
It has to be simple like the dial itself.
Less is more!

Another Richmond brand going down the 8 year route. Will Omega and Rolex try to compete, hope so Great for the consumer.

[WatchAdvisor]

Please read the description of the video and give me your feedback! I am curious!

[lucachinellato]

great service but less and less craftsmanship...

[achimkohlhage]

Its a pitty, such an Ikon going to sink, grasping for air with 8yr warranty.
