Pam arrived... loose hands!

So I just took delivery of a ZF Pam 1312 and the watch is great. I have just an issue with the movement it seems. It has a 7750 and from what I've read the hands have a little play when the crown is pulled out and the time is being set. However I noticed that when the crown pushed in I can tap hard or swing the watch on my wrist and the minute hand will offset by about a minute. Surely this isn't normal? If it isn't I'd like to know how I can get this fixed myself as I'd rather not ship it all the way back to China. Thanks guys.

EDIT: In fact, I've realised that if I keep flicking my wrist the minute hand slowly creeps continuously and becomes more offset. Definitely something wrong here!

It might be a loose hand although from your description and basing from the picture it's not that bad. I have a PAM where the hand is so loose the minute hand is half an hour offset, not by one minute.

Is this a common flaw with 7750s? Seems a number of gen Bell & Ross watches were affected too. I wonder if there's a spring or screw inside the movement that can be tightened to fix this.

Wow half an hour is the other side of the dial! Or you must mean 2-3 minutes?
