New KW 127 Concerns

[patnaboy]

Hello All,

i received my new KW 127 from a TD the other day. I have two concerns with the watch.

1. The dealer seemed to have pinched the gasket on the backplate of the watch. See pictures below showing the pinched gasket towards the bottom next to the 100m marker. Is this something I can easily get fixed? I would imagine its just a process of getting the gasket changed out to a new one? Is the gasket easily sourced?
2. The CG lever is very loose. I have several PAMs and this seems to be the first one I have owned with this type of issue. Is there any risk of the CG lever pin falling out? The pin is able to move up and down slightly. I did read a post on how to remove the CG and glue the pin. I am not mechanically inclined to I will need to find a local watch smith to help.

Please note that both the issues above did not present itself when I received the QC pictures. The gasket was not pinched like this in the QC pictures. I want to keep the watch and try and fix the issues. Just a little disappointed that the factory shipped the watch in this condition.

Now for the pcitures.

Pinched Gasket near 100m mark

Loose Lever is hard to tell from the pics but i thought i will include some pics in case anything jumps out to anyone

1. As for the gasket, just take the caseback off, put the gasket in the proper place and screw the caseback back on.

2. For the CG, use this guide, works like a charm: http://vintagewatchparts.co.uk/index.php?id=108

You beat me to it. I've used this process with each PAM I have and get great results.

Any decent watch maker/batter changer should have an assortment of gaskets if it is damaged. A local pawn shop near me that does light jewelry repair and changes watch batteries has an assortment of them.
