jaybee Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 (edited) Hi, I don't have one but I'm thinking about getting a Pam111h with the swan neck regulator. I was just wondering how the regulator works. How many seconds do I gain or loose by adjusting it according to the marks? Can I access the regulator screw without dismantling the movement or is it enough just to remove the caseback? Any help appreciated Jaybee Edited February 8, 2007 by jaybee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any help appreciated Jaybee If you really need to adjust the watch and you want to do it correct - you have to remove the movement because you must access the screw exactly from the side.

Thanks. thats really a con for the swan neck version. I can handle to open the case back but dismantling the movement seems to be quite a challenge for me. :-( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chubbchubb Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Thanks. thats really a con for the swan neck version. I can handle to open the case back but dismantling the movement seems to be quite a challenge for me. :-( To get the movement out is actually not that difficult: once the back is open, it is two little srews holding the movement clamps; two screws holding the crownguard and one little button (careful - don't press too hard and aleways with the right tool! read howto in the howto section first to not damage the keyless works in the process) to release the stem & Crown. If you have done it once... (and have the right tools like quality screwdrivers) it no big deal.... Actually, that is one of the fun things about the rep business... I would not neccessarily do that with a gen PAM...., but a rep? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With your hint I found the article The Zigmeisterzumbas "Removing the movement on a PAM 001 Model" in the howto section. Seems pretty straightforward but unfortunately it's all in the details.

flavor flav Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 the swan neck allows for a very fine adjustment. it can be done with just the caseback removed on most pams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
