  5. Dilemma... PAM 203 fix up or break up?

    in The Panerai Area

    Posted

    Brilliant help @dinkas[mention=62697]themannier[/mention][mention=77621]nycrounders[/mention] I think I've certainly my unscrewed the set lever screw too much and disengaged. I feel confident to attempt the keyless reset. I've done some work on movements - but only Seiko. I did some reading on 6497 and the steps above seem ok.  Final question assume hand removal is same as any other?? But any pitfalls to avoid? 

    Thanks so much gents... this watch is worth it... and the crystal is clean now too

    If you want to try it yourself.

    The screw pictured above most likely got unscrewed too much and disengaged from the setting lever. Most likely your fix is only a keyless reset isnt too difficult.

     

    You can follow this guide for disassembling and reassembling the keyless, http://www.eta.ch/swisslab/6497/6947.html

    You need to worry about the steps that include the Yoke, Setting Lever, and Yoke Spring.

    Those 3 components is what resetting the keyless includes.

     

    You do have to remove the dial and those three parts are hidden under this part.

    I hope this helps.

     

    If the set lever screw did strip or snap though you will need to replace the screw pictured above. These steps are good if the set lever screw and setting lever have no issues.
