gargoil Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 (edited) Ok Ill start off by saying I've never taken a watch apart before so this should be interesting. The watch in question is a PAM 036. Movement is a Swiss ETA. The reason I need to take the watch apart is that the hands appear to be at a slight angle and not parallel to the dial. IE The hands are angled up slightly from the centre of the watch. I could live with it but its started to bug me. I understand what I have to do is remove the back of the watch, remove the crown, remove the movement/dial, adjust the hands and reinsert. Just want to ask a few questions before I tackle this in case I encounter any problems. I have already had the case back off and I can see that I have to remove a few small screws to remove the movement. I also see a very small screw next to the crown pin (Sorry don't know the correct term for this!) Do I remove this and just pull the crown/pin out? How much force should this take or should it just pop out? Should I encounter many problems adjusting the hands or is it a matter of just pressing them down with a small amount of force with a pair of tweezers or am I better removing them and reattaching? Any other advice or pointers to information on th eforum would be much appreciated!! Cheers, Will Edited November 19, 2006 by gargoil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWG Technical Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 The reason your hands are at an angle is due to too short cannon and hour wheels...

RWG Technical Posted November 19, 2006 Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 Cheers Ziggy, I also found V's excellent home movies on disassembly etc. Excellent, if you need the longer cannon pin and hour wheel, I keep them in stock. RG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gargoil Posted November 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 19, 2006 I think that the replacemenmt of the cannon pin may be beyond my skills at the moment. I notice that davidsen has a set of "capped" hands that can solve the problem and think that this may be the best option for me! Thanks for the help The Zigmeister!!
