I was winding my PAM 111v3 last night and as the watch was close to having full power reserve the crown suddenly started spinning without any tension and was no longer winding. When I pull the crown out out it does not set the time either, however the watch is still functioning. I took the crown guard off and the crown practically fell out but it's not connected to the stem, it's just the crown wheel. Is this an easy fix or am I looking at a few dollars to get it fixed or replaced? Thanks!

Are their threads on the stem,
If so, my guess (not a PAM guy) is remove the caseback, there will be a release button for the stem, remove, and carefully thread back into the crown (use some locktite, not too much) and reassemble)
Someone chime in if im out to lunch

+1 to the above... More than likely, the crown was not threaded on the stem tight enough when assembled so over time it worked loose from the stem. If you feel brave you can remove the case back and as mentioned above, remove the stem and re-attach the crown. It's best to use a mild type of loctite to help secure the crown to stem. If you're not sure of this, contact one of the watchmakers on the site, I would think it won't be too expensive to have this corrected.
