Prsist Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 My crown lever is a little loose. Any way I can tighten it or do I have to take it to a watchsmith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 This is a common complaint of the PAMs. I don't have one...so I can't say...but I've read of solutions here in various posts. The Zigmeister makes a new pin and redrills the hole. Others: Grind down the guard feetCheck the two screws that hold the CG to the case. Often 1 is loose.Silicon on the pin hole and the pinPlastic wire insulation around the pinRubber gaskets below the crown where the crown sits on the tubeTape on the crown where the crown meets the leverLoctite in the pinSSSurfer posted his tips and explanations here: http://www.rwg.cc/members/Easy-loose-lever-fix-t4878.html http://www.rwg.cc/members/Loose-Crown-Lock...rai-t13800.html http://www.rwg.cc/members/Panerai-Experts-t17553.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prsist Posted March 22, 2009 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 The simplest solution is to remove the crown guard and file down the feet a little so it rests closer to the case. Has anyone tried it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toadtorrent Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Read the posts linked in my reply...this is from some of the experts who have. It really depends on where the lever is loose (when supposedly locked, when it's open, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Eastwood Posted March 22, 2009 Report Share Posted March 22, 2009 Just remove the crown and add or change the gasket for a more thicker one . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
