My fixed or repaired PAM111

Here's the little story.
One or Two months after I got my PAM 111 from Hont, it stopped working suddenly.
I sent it back to hont 6 weeks ago, and I just received the repaired watch.
It actually seems to work, it didn't stop for the last 24 hours ;) , and it seems to be quite acurate (24 hours is not enough).
But (there's always a but), there is something strange with the fix, regarding the swan neck regulator.
I posted the picture so that you can see, but it appears that the "arrow" is blocked under the swan neck regulator ... I don't mind, if the watch still works like that, but I seems strange to me.
Does some of you guys actually know this fix (or this error) ?
Thank you all

This isn't a result of Hont fixing the movement. This happens to a lot of rep movements. The root of the problem is that the dagger on the rep movements is much thinner than on the gen. The gen is thick enough that it would be all but impossible for it to slip underneath the swan neck.

If you really want to fix it, you could pull the case back off and push the swan neck back out and let it rest against the side of the needle again.

Thanks, I might try to find a sticky ball then ;)
Hont was really good with my problems though !
