Hi everyone,

I recently bought a Noob PAM 111 and after 2 months it stopped working. I sent the watch to unreformed66 for a service and he did a fantastic job. One thing he had to do was solder the seconds hand back on as it had already broken. After shipping the watch back to me, it worked fine for 2 days until the seconds hand fell off - not his fault, just a really crappy seconds hand.

I can't find a seconds hand that is all-white to use as a suitable replacement. Does anyone know where to source a seconds hand for a PAM111 that looks gen-like?

Just ask one of the TDs to source parts. Noob should have them as the PAM111 is still in production.

FYI for anyone in the future in the same situation. TD's can't get only one hand, they have to order the entire handset. The cheapest price I could find was $30. Still cheaper than shipping something to China for warranty repair I guess.

Thanks for the info although members should realize that parts are usually sent to the factories in sets. Hands are not individually packaged. So it would make perfect sense that if the factory were willing to sell the hands, it would be one set. Like I heard for some watches, you can't buy the bezel alone, the factory will need you to buy the entire mid-case set (including bezel, caseback). At least you can get the parts that you know will fit your watch without any issues, compared to buying blindly elsewhere.
