Broken PAM 380: won't wind anymore! WTF

[nlnlnlnene]

I wound my PAM 380 and clicked the crown back into position.
When I was screwing it back in, I felt that it was a bit more stiff than usual.

I didn't think much of it but two days later (today), I returned to wind the watch again and now it won't wind at all.

The crown is just stuck and won't turn.

What gives?
What do you do with the watch in this situation?

1) Service movement by a watchsmith
2) Sell for parts or someone who is willing to fix it themselves

sounds like something is jammed either in the keyless or in the ratchet wheel.

you can do either... if you really like the watch, have it fixed, if you don't, sell it.

i'd be down to buy it if the latter of the two haha. always wanted a rad.

90% chance a movement holding tab has come loose. If you pop it open it can be spotted fairly easily - or you can snap a pic and we can try to spot it for you.

Open it up, turn up side down, pray......

Can the time still be set?

If you like the watch option 1, send it to a watchsmith.

time can still be set.

Remove the casebook using something rubber such as a ball, could also be a large eraser, just something that you can put your palm on and then unscrew.

okay i will try that and take a pic for u guys! thanks.

I really don't want to buy another 380 because i'm bothered by the "R" thing.

When this happened to me(PAM360) it turned out to be the swan neck screw.

I still have not taken the caseback off but I would like to get it fixed or sell it.
Does anyone know how much this kind of a thing can sell for?
Alternatively who to get it fixed by and how much such a service can cost?

 

[MtnHrdwear]

Did you decide if you are fixing or selling this one?

 

[nlnlnlnene]

talking to a member about how to fix it for now
