pivaro Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 I received a new thicker crown for the pam 111 (swiss movement , no swanneck , the one withe the engravings) and tried to switch them . I thought i succeeded but i can't wind the watch anymore . When the crown is in windingposition it sets the time , when i put it in timeposition it still does the same (normal). Watch is still running fine (won't be for much longer ,since i can't wind it ) . Does anybody know what is wrong ? Help needed . P. ps i did turn the stem when first inserted and heard a winding noise followed by another unfamiliar noise after wich winding turned impossible . Did i break it ?

Try pulling out the stem, then tightening the set screw, pushing in the stem to engage the set lever, then loosening the screw and re-inserting the stem. BTW, don't remove the set lever screw unless you want to uncase the watch, it holds the set lever in place. (oh, gently...)

But i think in time i will get there . Thanks again . P. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vaccum Posted November 24, 2006 Report Share Posted November 24, 2006 If you turned the crown set screw CCW more than 2 full turns... it may be out of place. Try turning it fully CW then 2 turns CCW and try again. Dont rush it, take your time. vaccum Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
