My First Rep: PAM 026K. Winds but doesnt run.. :-s

[Jp3007]

Hi everyone,


Just received my PAM026k from Sead. After unpacking it, admiring the beauty (it looks stunning!) and winding it, found out that the seconds hand doesn't move :--(.

Is there anything I might be overlooking? Or am I sentenced to start the search for a watchsmith in Belgium who will want to work on my rep?


Thanks for your help!

Small update, this might help diagnose the problem:

When I set the time, and turn the crown clockwise, the seconds hand moves. Sometimes it keeps moving for a few seconds, but always stops again.

contact Sead, he will sort things out for you

 

[Jp3007]

Jep did that already, thanks!


What a beautiful watch, such a pity I can't wear it immediately...

Wind it upside down and clockwise. It is a destro version.

 

[cyberwarhol]

I mean flip it around like a regular watch and then wind clockwise.

Thanks for your response, but it's fully wound.... It just doesn't run... When I put the crown in time adjust position, the seconds hand runs until about the 40 second mark and then stops...

sometimes it needs a littke shake. Pull the crown and then adjust time counter clockwise.

Any updates?
Sead's pretty trustworthy, communication is usually once a day....busy man as you might imagine.
i ordered my first two rep from him just recently, the Pam 026k n the batman GMT. Anxiously waiting for them to arrive.

I took the watch to a local (pretty busy) watch smith, he'll take a look at it. Sead asked me to keep him posted on the status and even offered to have it shipped back to him if it doesn't work out.

So indeed, he's a very trustworthy guy, always replying within 24h.

Let's hope my local watch genius can fix it!

 

[Jp3007]

Just got an email from the watch smith, SHE'S FIXED AND SERVICED!

Will keep you guys posted on the final results .


Thanks!!

Just picked her up, runs as smooooth as a big smooth thing


Pics coming up asap (first gotta put her on her asso strap + deployant)

did your watch smith tell you what the deal was

 

[jamieroquai]

I'm also curious about what the problem was.

I got mine a few days ago and works like a charm.

didn't have to wind it up side down or set the time counter clockwise

Has been a week since I have bought from Sead, and now I have the exact same problem. How have you solved? Thank you

 

[Jp3007]

I have no idea what was wrong, butit only cost me 30EUR to be fixed, so it shouldn't be anything big.. Definitely no parts needed replacement

Thanks, now I take it to show at watchmaker. My Pam026 after you turned the wheel to the maximum and be fully charged it stops shortly after. The small second hand begins to shake and then stops...

 

[Jp3007]

Exactly the same as mine dude, no worries... Mine stopped around the 40second mark and would only continue to run if I turned the crown beyond fully wound...

Any good watch smith should be able to fix this easily!

Great job OP!! Sometimes in the rep game things happen and that's the risk. Most of the time Its easier (and cost less) to just take the matter into your own hands and get the problem fixed yourself! Good job bud! Rep points for you!
