bumroxas Posted January 10, 2012 Report Share Posted January 10, 2012 I got a couple of Pam 6497 handwind reps. 176, 177, 026, 005, and a 112. Only the 176, 026 and 005 have working crowns that spring up when the lever is released. All have been modded by me, the crown on these watches have been removed at one point in time. Removed the crowns, the springs on all of them seem to be working fine. Is there a right or wrong technique to install the crown? All are from HFactory.

bumroxas Posted January 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I handled a Gen 104 and the crown doesnt spring up...same problem with the reps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
louky Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 So far only the vintage Pam's i have seen spring up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 20, 2012 Report Share Posted January 20, 2012 I don't know about the reps but as far as I know all gens have the built in spring. But some crowns "spring" up far less than others. On two of my gens it is almost imperceptible. I would suspect that which reps have springs will be a function of the factory making the rep rather than a particular model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bumroxas Posted January 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 the crowns seem fine though. i suspect it may be in the installation. ill get to the bottom of this and make a post here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmeister Posted January 21, 2012 Report Share Posted January 21, 2012 As long as the topic has come up, can anyone tell me whether the noob factory and the H factory both use spring loaded crowns? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
