PAM 111 Stopped Working. Ideas?

[timeonmyside]

Hi all. I love my PAM 111 and have had it 5 or 6 months now. I wear it often. I have been wearing other watches I have more often and had not worn this 111 for a week now and when I put it on and wound it up, it did nothing.

I did not buy this from any dealer here.

I have read a few sources around the net to tap it on my palm and see if it helps, it didnt. Or to try reversing the hands to see if it starts ticking, It didnt. If I lay it flat on a towel and shake it CW/CCW the big thin gold gear in the back starts moving for about 10 or 15 seconds then just stops. All the while the second hand never moves.

Ive tried winding it up, and Im probably near 80% so Im not going to try winding it any more.

Any suggestions I could try? I have no problem opening this up if there is an easy fix.

Thanks everyone! My first watch to go down

I'd send it to a watchmaker

I am contacting my seller now to find out what they recommend. Im not really interested in sending it back to HK, so a reputable watchmaker would be my next option if I cant do something simple myself. Thanks.
