Sure hope i can source another one (as it has disappeared!)
Would a TD i am a repeat customer of send me a complimentary one or any ideas where to go ? Pam 312. Thanks guys

Worth a try asking your dealer, otherwise post a wanted in the parts section.

When you received your new watch, did you tighten all the screws? I'd advise doing that on any of your future purchases

 

[JellyJoe]

Annoying incident, agreed on thigtening screws as you get the new watch, specially pam crown guards. Good luck mate

 

[jpohl402]

I did not tighten it up, no.
I didnt even notice it was loose

Same here I lost my screws but still have the crown guard I just ordered some with my next purchase or else it'll never come. Have them ship it with the watch it'll get here sooner

Never wear a replica without tightening all the screws and if possible locking them with Loctite 222
Hublot's screws and PAM's screws get lost usually

What can we use to tighten the screws with? A regular small screwdriver will work? Also, can anyone explain how to tighten the crown guard? I don't know which screw holds the crown guard in place.

+1 That's the first thing I do when I receive a new rep. To much of a PIA to get a replacement part afterwards.

They both do. If you have a screwdriver to change straps that will work just fine

Don't mean to HiJack here but couldn't find it with the search where can i buy a Pam crown guard??? Thanks in advance

 

[Cadmito]

Can look for one in the parts section or try to get a dealer to sell you one. Maybe bundle it in with your next watch purchase

 

[jpohl402]

Well i am trying to track one down....
Could someone kindly post a photo tutorial of how to install a crown guard, where screws go, and most importantly what areas should be loc-tited ?
Thanks in advance!

very simple you can get a screw driver at any pharmacy, the ones intended for eyeglass repairs

There use to be a trusted Dealer that sold PAM parts for cheap but i cant seem to find it anymore the last time i seen the site was in the 2012 Dealer ratings Thread but i guess that thread got removed for sum reason ???

Bro I am in the same boat as you...

I've done as "Cadmito" said - posted a Want ad in the proper section, and contacted every TD about replacement, as well as virtually every modder....
No luck yet. (I think) that my TD is going to replace it for me, they said they would, I am just waiting on confirmation of parts and shipment.
I already had a pending order with them, which I have OKed QC photos of, and told them to hold off until I got the crown guard (so no extra shipping charges on their end.) Basically it appears to be very difficult to source these

So we will see here soon, and I will keep you posted......

EDIT: On Repgeek someone found one on Ebay for $89 or $86 - but another gentleman told him it likely won't fit....

 

[jpohl402]

^^
Still waiting.
I did receive QC photos from TD of the screws - but not the actual crown guard yet.

For CG try contact goin6633 he had some CG

[jpohl402]

ALE,

He said he doesn't have one for model 312....
