Broken 111

Recommended Posts

The other day the pin holding the bracelet to the watch broke, and the watch fell to the floor. Apparently it must have been a pretty hard hit, even though it didn't seem that way. Now the watch will wind up, but not tick. On top of that some paint got loose and got stuck on the dial - but I guess that's an easy fix. I've only worn it 20-25 times or so, so it feels pretty rotten to just throw it away. It's still $300 or close to it.

I do have tools to open it up, but I'm pretty clueless when it comes to PAMs. What would be the best route to fix this? ANY tips gratefully accepted.

Sorry brother but it sounds like it's toast

You can send to The Zigmeister, if anyone can rescue it he can but if there is also cosmetic damage he might not be able to make it perfect

Or

You can try to find a new dial and movement in the parts forum and then send along to The Zigmeister

The dial is fine, or at least I think so. I can't see where the paint chips are coming from. The movement is just "stuck". Dunno if something got slightly ajar or if it got bent - I couldn't see anything. The pin holding the bracelet to the watch is definitely broken, but I'm thinking I might ebay it. Maybe it would be the easiest to just ebay a new movement? No idea if it's hard work to fit the dial on a new movement considering the seconds being in a separate spot.
