indywatchguy Posted April 21, 2014 Report Share Posted April 21, 2014 Hello Gents, Anyone every have an issue with their PAM 292J black crown tube coming a loose? The watch winds and keeps perfect time however I can no longer screw down the crown(it will not catch the threads). Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted April 23, 2014 Report Share Posted April 23, 2014 That has been a problem with Radiomir reps since they first came out back in 2005. Bummer that after all those years they still use pretty bad quality metals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted April 24, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 24, 2014 So Ifovco what do you think the problem is? Stripped tube or what? Is it repairable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfovco Posted April 25, 2014 Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Stripped tube. It cannot be fixed. You would need new tube and crown. I was never able to get it fixed. This problem really applies to all reps, but some will last for many years, Radiomirs were the worst case scenario. I still have one lying around that dates back to 2006. It has a great Swiss 6497 movement which I should use for something else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indywatchguy Posted April 25, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 25, 2014 Update Ifov...member misiekped just repaired my Pam 292 and here's what he had to say about it "The tube on that watch is pressed and work as a wedge I pressed again and I used cement to hold permanent" So as of now it is repaired and ready to go. Thanks for the help and hope this thread helps other members with same issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
