It keeps falling off :(

[Sturb]

Hello All,

I have recently swapped a faulty Asian 6497 for a new one however my seconds hand keeps falling off Any ideas?

Thanks

Paul

Oh and while I am here does anyone know where I would get a crown for a 40mm PAM?

Cheers again!

I suppose you already made yourself doubly sure that the hand gets correctly installed on its pin.

In this case, a tiny drop of a reversible bonder putted into the hand tube with a black oiler (anything else would be oversized) should fix it. Just be sure that the outside of the tube is clean from the bonder, and the bonder does not came out.

Not risk-free.

Gently squeezing the hand tube with pliers is out of discussion, the tube is too small.

Oh, BTW, naturally also replacing the hand with one 0.19mm. Yours must be 0.20mm.

I believe 40 mm PAM crowns were quite acceptable - gens in 40 mm come with thinner crowns too.

I didnt have a problem with it, until it broke

Maybe a standard -- or even especially thin -- rep crown would be ok?

If it is thin on a 44mm model, it might be good on 40mm...
