Pam problem

[dazzla]

I've got a PAM217 (Asian movement), it's my first rep so if it's dead then so be it. It seems to have happened overnight, maybe it got banged in my bag or something.

Basically I can set the time, wind the movement but it's not ticking away; there's not a flicker of movement.

Good luck,

wearing my new Swiss 217 right now. Can't decide if I like it better than my Swiss 127 or not. Think I like them the same

I agree with FISH

You cannot "overwind " an UNITAS 6497, even if it
