Longtime lurker here! Just purchased my first rep from another member on the forums, (a brand new PAM 111n v3 Noob from a TD). The case, dial, and movement all seem to be flawless cosmetically, but the watch is running extremely fast (4 seconds fast every 60 seconds).

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I can do to fix this? The watch is really beautiful and I'm hoping there might be a quick fix. A cursory glance around the forums led me to believe that it might be magnetized or that perhaps I should let it wind down and maybe give it a thump in case the spring is tangled, but I'm pretty much lost right now since I'm a total noob when it comes to watches. Any advice appreciated!

I took a look at those threads - they made it seem like the microadjuster is only to be used for small changes, not changes of this magnitude. I'm also not too comfortable opening up the watch myself, considering I have literally no idea what I'm doing -_-.

I'm not sure if perhaps something happened during shipping - the user I bought it from says that it was running fine when he had it. Planning to let it wind down completely and then see if that fixes anything.

Wore it all day today and for whatever reason, the watch seems to have slowed down. Just timed it and it's now taking ~60 seconds to make a full revolution of the second hand. Going to keep an eye on it, I guess. Hopefully it doesn't now start running slow -_-.
