Sturb Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sssurfer Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 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.

Guest Sql_pl Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I believe 40 mm PAM crowns were quite acceptable - gens in 40 mm come with thinner crowns too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it is thin on a 44mm model, it might be good on 40mm... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
