Pam 251 power reserve

Recommended Posts

Hey there fellow Pam lovers! I just ordered a Pam 251 with the new movement from Joshua and have been wearing it for about a week and I have noticed that the power reserve is really low. I have been wearing the watch all day everyday and it runs out after a few days and I have to wind it again manually. Its almost as if the rotor is not charging the watch like it should. has anybody else had this problem with this batch of watches or with other watches in the past? And what did you do to fix it?

I think that 36 hours is fine as far as power reserve is concerned. What I am worried about is that after a full wind and wearing it the watch should not need to be rewound, unless you leave it for 36 hours and it dies again. Does that make sense?

It can also be the rotor is stuck on some dirt, it can help to remove it and try to blow it clean.

Hi Mickey! You bought the 236-K if my memory serves me right? I'm considering the 236-K and the 196-H and I keep changing my mind about which to get all the time. Are you happy with the 236-K? If you were offered to change it for the 196-H, would you change or would you stick with the 236-K? =)

I would stick with the 236, I am not keen on the numerals on the 196, the more simple dial is my preference :)

Thanx, I'm beginning to think the same. When I first started looking at the 196, i found the polished bezel and mid links nice, but the dial is not as nice I think.
