PAM 111 Crown Guard Question

[jdabs]

Good morning all!

Just have a quick question for you Panerai experts! When I first got this PAM 111 V3 2 years back, the pin/screw that holds the latch onto the crown guard would sit flush. Recently, I started to notice that it is starting to pop up from the hole ever so slightly- and while I can use my fingernail to temporarily push this pin back into an almost flush position, it starts to pop back up after a day or two.

My question is, what can I do to fix this problem so that the pin can stay in place again and is staying flush?

I'm having troubles uploading to Photobucket right now so I attached the photo of said part instead.

Thanks!

Not experiencing this, but curious of the answer.

Remove the CG from the case and lay it on a flat surface. Push down the pin firmly using a hammer with plastic head.
If this does not work, try the hot glue fix you can find in the tutorials linked in my sig.

Wow what an amazing thread of tutorials, I was too eager and missed it as it's stickied on the Panerai forum, sorry!

Lots of other tutorials to look through as well... I think you may have just taken my whole day away from me for today :laughing: Shame that some of the links are 404'd, but still lots of tutorials to look through!

Thanks kilo!
