Pam Cg Screws

[pubus]

Well it occured that the screws I got with my 111h after a couple of months become somehow damaged and they werent holding the cg tight.

So I decided toay to visit all my local watchmakers to see if they can get these screws for me. Unlucky none could help me. All of them were admiring the rep btw and one didnt noticed it was a rep, he even told me that it will be hard to find these 'ORIGINAL' sg screws I askerd him quickly if he could do a waterresistance test on my pam as its rep. He was very very suprised and asked 'THIS WATCH???!?!' so I quess our pams really look close.

Anyway back to the main point.

I was seeking rwg and didnt find any solutions, my dealer still havent reply my email.

Is there a way to source cg screws or the whole CG as mine came bit not tightly fitting the case??

I apriciate every help and advice

Regards,

Kuba

I had the same thing happen. My watchsmith had a box full of screws, he searched until he found one that fit. It may not be exactly the same, but it held the CG down tight.

You can always try a jimmyfzu CG

$0.01 + $5 shipping and you get a crown guard and the screws. 40 and 44mm versions.

good luck!

Maybe the screws will fit, but these are CG´s for Chrono PAM´s would be useless on his 111.

I seem to remember that a member found screws that fitted not from a watchsmith, but from an optician / eyeglass shop.

Expensive? $5 to get the watch back on your wrist?

ok so i visited many eyeglass shops, many shops with screws nails etc talked to many ppl and wel... nobody helped me I have to check one point more where a guy that repairs photo cameras might have a screws like that

I was offered a help from davidsenjpn which I thank for very much and my dealer offered me a set of new crown and crews for 38usd shipped.

I think if I wont get the screws until end of the month I will have to spent those money on the new one :/

[pubus]

yup, everything goes nice now....

after dozens, really, i mean it, dozens of watchmakers I took the advice and went to a optic lenses and eye glass dealers... unfortunetly noone helped but one of them told me "my friend might have some of screws that may fit this holes'

And in end end I was offered a help from a Photo Camera Service guy

As i was laughing, a watch in camera service

The term "watchsmith" is tossed around the forums as if it it meaningful. It isn't.

A watchmaker would simply make you the screws that you nreed. It really isn't difficult - for a man with the appropriate skills

My man takes the view that he is a "watchmaker". This means that if he needs a part, rather than take the time and trouble to order the part... he'll sit down and make it.

He's a watchmaker. Fully apprenticed... awesomely experienced.

The trouble is.. he prefers working on clocks. The older the better. More of a challenge... spares just are not available... so he has to make every part that he needs.

This is the man who made the clock (actually an orrery) that appeared in "Tomb Raider". The bill for that one was in excess of £80,000.

When this man speaks... I shut up and listen.

I'd love to be a fly on the wall with him and The Zigmeister in the same room...

PMs requesting his address details wll not be responded to. It has taken me great deal of effort to get him to show some grudging respect for my reps. I'm not having some loudmouth newbie spoiling that for me.

Sorry.

But you can do what I did... find your own man. He is out there... and closer than you think. Let your fingers do the walking.

On the other hand, Opticians, Camera Repair Specialists and Model Railway Shops are a great source of small screws.
