BT1982 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Hey guys, I purchased a new PAM616 from a trusted dealer about 6 weeks ago. It began stopping in the middle of the day about 2 weeks ago, and then died completely last night. Usually, if i would give it a little help with a manual wind it would start back up. I took the back off, and nothing seems to be apparently broken. The date wheel and time function correctly when the stem is turned. Anyways, looking for guidance on what to do with this thing. I dont know if there are replacement periods with TD or if I will need to find someone to fix it. I am still relatively new to watches, so im not 100% comfortable in breaking it down but would oppose a try if anyone thinks it could be an easy fix. Appreciate the guidance.

SSTEEL Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Do you know what movement is in there? Does it have the faux dress plate/s? Sometimes the faux screws on these dress plates can come unstuck, and can cause the balance to stop by getting wedged in the pallet area.

BT1982 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Thanks for the reply SSteel. It's the p9000 movement which I think is a 7750. I'm at a slight disadvantage because the dealers website was taken down yesterday, so i cant see the exact model. I took a picture of it helps. The rotor seems to spin freely.

BT1982 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 The damn thing is working again. It just randomly started. I guess il happy to save repair money but have lost all confidence with this thing. Any idea as to what could be happening?

SSTEEL Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 Just uploading a photo for you, you have a loose, rogue movement clamp, and s crew in the movement. Here you go.. loose movement tab & Screw by Micky Aldridge, on FlickrYou You need to locate the missing screw, and refit the movement tab with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
panerai153 Posted February 14, 2016 Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 You need to find the screw and fish that movement tab out and put everything back where it belongs. If the screw or tab gets jammed in the movement, you could have some damage.Just because it's running now doesn't mean it's fixed!!

BT1982 Posted February 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 14, 2016 You guys are incredible. Thanks for helping me out. I was able to fish the movement tab out, but cant locate the screw. I think your right, its inside the movement. Is this something i should consider sending out? I tried to move the watch around to get the screw to fall out. Thanks again for all your help. Much appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SSTEEL Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Ideally the movement will need to be removed from the case, this will give you a much better viewpoint of the balance area, its here I suspect the screw to be hiding out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymanmatt Posted February 15, 2016 Report Share Posted February 15, 2016 Probably no damage, yet. Don't wear it until it's repaired. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BT1982 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks guys. After a few days of trying to get this thing out, a few thousand cuss words later, new set of screwdrivers later, I'm going to mail it in. Thanks for all your help. Learned a lot running thru this.
