So.... I finally bit the bullet and ordered my first rep, a Pam 111h from Angus.
After weeks of waiting, it arrived, and I loved it. Was exactly as described, arrived in a decent amount of time and all was good.
I had been looking for straps and had decided on a Micah Mouser which I was going to order next week.
On saturday, I went to put the watch on and it had stopped, as i had not worn it since Thursday this was expected. So I wound the watch fully, though it didnt take many winds to do this, and the thing is dead. I tried giving it a little shake, but nothing. I gave it a big shake, still nothing.
I have sent Angus an email, and will wait to see what he says, but I'm a bit dis-heartened at the prospect of sending it back, after the months worth of research and the month waiting for it to get here.
Question is, is there anything I can try myself to get this going? Or does anyone have any ideas what could be wrong? I can adjust the time easily, and when winding the resistance is still there and it does move slightly, though it is fully wound so I am not chancing winding it anymore clicks. Everything seems tight and it doesnt make any strange noises when shaken. Any ideas anyone? Is it worth opening this up myself, is there anything I could try? I have zero knowledge in watchmaking...
Thanks in advance.
