Hi,

My Pam 111 from Hfac movement is slipping when i wind it. I've looked for damaged gears and did not find any. I think it might do with the stem because when i wind it, it slips then gets stuck for a second I let go and can wind again.

I know it's not super clear for a description. I would love to fix it myself or at least try. I guess i'm just looking for some insight from the experts around here.

heres a pic of the movement (sorry did not clean the watch in a while). Let me know if you have an idea of what to look for.

Had a movement like that with the same problem, turned out it was the click that was slipping on the ratchet wheel. Maybe bad machining of the bridges, as the parts are within tolerance.
Keyless was fine in my case

Nope, as I said prts were not the problem, probably bridges out of tolerance, was also an asian 6497 with decorative plates and a different ant shock system than incablock so would think low level

You'll know if it's the stem slipping because while winding the crown wheel won't turn. If that's not the issue than see if the click is slipping. If that's not the problem then the mainspring is broken.

Thanks. Is the click the small thing south-east of the big gear in the movement pic ? Sorry my knowledge of watch parts is not very up to par :)
