Thanks for the advice. It's actually a Asian 21j movement I believe. Not that it makes any difference though right?. It's a hundred dollar watch so it's going to come down to a matter of repair vs. replacement cost.

Thanks for the help. I'll start perusing the for sale section for a new stem. At least the watch is correct until midnight tonight then reality will sink in that my favorite timepiece is no longer fully functional.

Over the weekend the stem apparently broke on my PAM 104. The watch is still in perfect working order, keeps fine time, date wheel is still good to go till the end of the month. My question is, do I need to buy a new movement (DG3809), or can I simply purchase a new stem and screw the current crown onto it.

If I can just buy a new stem, can someone point me to where I could find one that will fit my movement? Below are pictures of what I believe to be my broken stem. Is it difficult to fish out the broken piece and install the new part? Or is this something I should leave up to a watch smith here locally? I'm pretty novice other then just changing bands / straps. Thanks for any help!

Hey All,

Just wanted to introduce myself (and also get rid of this yellow bar at the top of my screen). I've been a member for a few weeks and have picked up quite a bit of material already. I jumped the gun after a few days and bought a few reps. I'm loving them so far. I went from having a collection consisting of one G-Shock to having a 4 watch winder (with room to store 10 more), and 10 reps since early February. Quite an addicting thing these time pieces are!
