Evening

Need some help with my PAM111.
Today the crown will not push in to the body of the watch to wind the watch. Its currently stuck in the time adjust setting.
I have attached a photo, as I believe the gasket is sticking out?



Noob alert....

I know I will need to remove the case back and release the stem, but will I be able to screw this back in?

Can somebody please spare a few minutes to provide some guidance on a repair/next steps?

Your help is greatly appreciated.

It definitely does look like the nut has backed out, I've never seen that happen before. Remove the crown and see if that piece is loose. If not, get the appropriate socket and try to screw it back in.

Is that nut part of the crown tube ?

That nut is threaded and screws onto the crown tube, as stodda said, it has backed out and needs to be tightened back on to the tube. Once done should fix the problem..

Very nice. Glad to hear you got it taken care of. If you didn't already, you might want to unscrew it and add a little cement and then tighten it... alleviate the potential of it backing out again.
