112 H Lemon?

[polo147ax]

I've had my new PAM 112 H with the Chinese 6497 movement about a week. It was shipped from Silix with a cracked case back, issue generously being resolved by one of our admins Dluddy. [Topic link]

So, after deciding not to ship the watch back to Silix, thought it would be a good time to start wearing it. Wound the watch for the first time very slowly until the crown was semi-tight and it worked fine for a few minutes. Now the watch has stopped working all together. I am getting a 1-3 second response (starts to move) after a vigorous shaking- then it stops again.

Any suggestions?

If the glass caseback was broken, chances are that fragments are interfering with the balance or wheels. A service will set it straight.

Caseback wasnt broken in pieces, just a very long hairline crack. Good point on the servicing. I am going to need to do that anyhow right? Think it's a good idea to just have it serviced here in the US for like $60's or return the watch?

Even if it's "just a crack" small dust can cause the problems you are having. I would discuss this with the sellar. You bought a watch, it arrived in poor condition.....give them a chance to work it out.

As for "I need to have it serviced anyway" many of these movemennts do quite well without it.....but it always helps.

Good Luck.
