I would like to share my thoughts about watches, which I could not take down (just for winding). I loved them. They are PAM 512 KW with nice black ostrich strap from Martu. Two days ago I found I cannot to wind them :cryingbadly:. The biggest sprocket-wheel has broken three teeth (two are abreast) and the small wheel with retaining tab, which makes noise when winding didn't move. There is A23J manual winding movement called P999.1. Does anyone has similar experience and is it anyhow repairable?

Ok guys, I will be very short this time. Does anybody have troubles with A23J like P999.1 manual wing movement, mounted in pams 512, 337, 338 and some others? Thank you.

There are unhappy bodies as well, I am not familiar with movements, but the big sprocket wheel has two teeth gap and than small retaining tab wheel cam move to different non energized position. Is this big sprocket wheel changeable - similar or same with other movements?
I don't want to send it to China and I would like to try to repair it locally.

Where are you located?
The problem is it's nearly impossible to get spare parts for these chines clone movements, unfortunately

If I'm not mistaken, Pam reps that uses P999 clone is a Seagull ST2555 without its automatic modules.

You are right! Thanks for nice picture, I cannot place my pictures. So the wheel on 12 hr missing three teeth and two of them each beside makes gap and the small wheel on right side from this view doesn't clicking or even move when I try to wind it.

That would be the ratchet wheel and the click springs.

Thank you for designation, I am little more clever in this. I believe it would be possible to repair it locally, but where I can find these spare parts? Other question is how it can happened, did I wound it aggressively :unsure:?

For parts I don't know mate, but you can always buy the whole movement (ST/TY2555) from ofrei.com

Thanks for your advice, I spent a few moments to find this movement (TY2555) and it exists in more than one shop and cost less than each of two straps I bought for them. Btw, Chris if you will read this note, why are you asked me where I am from, do you have any advice? However mentioned movement is cloned to fit and I do not really believe in my skills. The only options at this moment is, I have one contact to watchsmiths - I will ask what he can do.
