PAM 104 Stem Question

[ctine2020]

Over the weekend the stem apparently broke on my PAM 104. The watch is still in perfect working order, keeps fine time, date wheel is still good to go till the end of the month. My question is, do I need to buy a new movement (DG3809), or can I simply purchase a new stem and screw the current crown onto it.

If I can just buy a new stem, can someone point me to where I could find one that will fit my movement? Below are pictures of what I believe to be my broken stem. Is it difficult to fish out the broken piece and install the new part? Or is this something I should leave up to a watch smith here locally? I'm pretty novice other then just changing bands / straps. Thanks for any help!

I'd say bring it to a watchsmith to get the broken part of the stem out...someone here should be able to sell you a new stem.

Thanks for the help. I'll start perusing the for sale section for a new stem. At least the watch is correct until midnight tonight then reality will sink in that my favorite timepiece is no longer fully functional.

I'd ask your dealer, I'm not sure where you might find a Asian 7750 stem from otherwise.

I had the same issue with my DSN 229 couldn't find a stem had to send it back to him and he kindly fixed it for me

Best of luck, its not nice when that happens

Thanks for the advice. It's actually a Asian 21j movement I believe. Not that it makes any difference though right?. It's a hundred dollar watch so it's going to come down to a matter of repair vs. replacement cost.
