sssurfer Posted August 17, 2007 Report Share Posted August 17, 2007 So I succumbed to my lust for a 212 in the end. But the watch looks to have a flaw. I can pull the chrono pusher entirely out just by picking it with my fingers: I would really like to avoid to have the watch cross the customs two times more. Is there any way to fix it? Here are some other pics in case they may be useful: Sometimes the pusher comes out with two small gaskets attached: ...and thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chronus Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 Would loctite help ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajoesmith Posted August 19, 2007 Report Share Posted August 19, 2007 DO NOT USE LOCTITE The small c-clip that holds the pusher in place has come off. It should be still inside the case. Can you remove the case back and check? it very very small. and also tricky to get back on, some fine watch tweezers will do the trick. If you cant find the c-clip it then maybe another member might be able to help you out, sorry but i dont have one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted August 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Thanks! As soon as my watchsmith will come back from his holidays I'll ask him if he has a c-clip that fits. Actually, he already had to open this watch to fix another issue. A movement holder was missing, so the movement did not stay horizontal with the case and the rotor could not freely rotate, as it was touching the caseback on one position. Right after having it fixed, I discovered the pusher issue. Considering screwed-up threads of lug screws too, I have to say this watch sucks quite a bit.

Chronus Posted August 20, 2007 Report Share Posted August 20, 2007 Could the same thing happen to a screw-down PAM pusher, eg. PAM187 or a Ferrari chrono? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sssurfer Posted August 28, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2007 Just to let ajoesmith know that his diagnosis was correct and my watchsmith took no more than 5 mins to fix it. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
