Help with my Crown Lever

[Prsist]

My crown lever is a little loose. Any way I can tighten it or do I have to take it to a watchsmith?

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 feet
  
• Check the two screws that hold the CG to the case. Often 1 is loose.
  
• Silicon on the pin hole and the pin
  
• Plastic wire insulation around the pin
  
• Rubber gaskets below the crown where the crown sits on the tube
  
• Tape on the crown where the crown meets the lever
  
• Loctite in the pin

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?

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).

Just remove the crown and add or change the gasket for a more thicker one .
