Hello guys couple weeks a go arrived my Pam 661 Carbotech, I open the watch and I found this 3 screws (photo bellow) totally lose over the self-winding. The problem now is I tried to tighten but doesn't work. Any suggestion? It is a F*&^% tinymicroscopic screws. Please some help from the expert. This affect the watch movement at all or is just for decoration? Thanks a lot for any techhelp you can give me.

I have no idea about that particular watch but as I recall, that's not how you get a rotor off a 7750. If that's even a 7750? I believe that the 7750 rotor comes off after taking off the winding module.

Screws are glued on. I had the same problem with my Bronzo. Actually lost two of them in the movement. Fished them back out and ordered three new ones from my TD only to have the same thing happen I took them out altogether. They are more of a pain then anything.

So basically the 3 screws you're worried about are only decorations. Are you trying to solve a non-existing problem?

Thanks Thewatchwolf for confirm my inquiry, the screw doesn't tight and is true look glued on it. I will used a wood glue because is very viscous, flexible and easy to handle with a insulin needle.

Yes, self winder look tight and secure so the 3 screws it just a decoration, probably during the traveling the watch receive a strong impact and came lose the little screws, The good is the Asian 7750 movement continue give me a great time and look strong and clean.
