skyline Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 Hi All, I recently made my first rep purchase - a PAM 111. I've had it for a few days now, and it looks and feels great. Time has been kept well (provided that I remember to wind it). I do notice that it's running a bit loud (like you can hear the watch work). Does anyone else have this problem with their reps? Thanks!

b16a2 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 It has been a long time since I owned my 005 (very similar to the 111) and I remember you could here it ticking away at night. Not like a mantlepiece clock, but it was the loudest of all the watches I have ever owned. If it keeps you awake at night though, I would recommend getting it looked at by a watchsmith just to get it okayed, or get some good ear plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
watchlover1 Posted January 5, 2009 Report Share Posted January 5, 2009 I have two PAMs a 177h and a mini fiddy and you can hear them both ticking. They are louder than my automatics for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey my friend, I have a PAM177. Also that one was very loud. WAS> Until i got it serviced completely. after that no more loudness. And another one which i bought for someone else... also loud just out of the box. Servicing is the best. And this movement is very cheap to service. less than Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tikerz Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Pocket watch movements like the 6497 tend to be louder than other watch movements. It's normal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaloArchive Posted January 10, 2009 Report Share Posted January 10, 2009 Mine goes tic-tock too but, I like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
babola Posted January 11, 2009 Report Share Posted January 11, 2009 It depends greatly on how loose or tight the caseback is screwed on, as well as the caseback material and it's thickness. The 111H with a mineral glass caseback will emit louder tick sounds compared with the one with sapphire, similar could be said for the front glass. Also, thinner solid casebacks like DSN ones, will make mov't ticking sound appear louder than standard rep ones, for example. That's what I learned from my personal experience with Pam reps, views of others may differ. babola Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
