I took it into our only distributor today ( theres only 2 shops in NZ that carry panerai ), and they said to bring in the warranty card which obviously isnt going to help me at all.

How much will the service run you think? Need the thing polished as well, dropped it onto asphalt a few times.

I need a watch with a little more features than that Condor.

I would really love to have you send it here and have my guy make it new but the cost of shipping both ways and potential customs nonsense would outweigh just getting the service locally. Chances are it would also need a few parts replaced. My record from when Tom bought it says it is an H series which means the warranty card is long expired. Even if it was in warranty if they see the marks from dropping it is considered physical abuse and voids the warranty. Let me know what they say. Panerai has great service so they may surprise you.
