pam 111 stopped

[ja14]

ordered a pam 111 from intime about 2 months back and today it just stopped, i wound it up in the morning and was working fine until this afternoon- is there any known issue with an easy fix? i tried doing a search and havent found much, what should i do?

Was the watch fully wound? How many hours until it stopped from a full wind? Your description of your problem is unclear.

 

[ja14]

sorry, yes it was fully wound, and now it is again, after it stopped i wound it a little bit,, and then all the way and now i cant wind it anymore at all- it stopped after working for about 4 hours today

 

[mysterio]

I see. If it stopped on a full wind after only 4 hours then that is very unusual as the movement on the PAM111 has a power reserve of around 50 hours. Best to take it to a watchmaker to have a look.

Make sure screw inside the movement didn’t get loose. It could be stuck somewhere in the gear.
I’ve heard that is issue with pam111 but it’s an easy fix.

Well it can potentially be an issue with any A6497 based PAM, not only the PAM111.

if i posted a pic would that help, or i need to open caseback to see?

Also, see if any hands are getting stuck. Such as seconds hands. Is it a particular time it stops every day

today is the first time it happened, i changed the minute and hour hands obviously but i dont know how i can see if the second hand is stuck- how would i move that manually

You don't need to move the seconds hand as it moves one revolution every 60 seconds. But you would have to move the hour and minute hand to close the seconds subdial and see whether it will get stuck at a particular time. Strange though if it only stopped now after 2 months, unless the watch was dropped or something.

yeah, didnt drop it just stopped, it was on my wrist the whole time and noticed aroiund 130 it wasnt moving anymore, nothing seems to be getting stuck

Take off the case back and post a pic.

Just don't turn the watch upside down. Something might fall out and you don't notice.

 

[ja14]

Top in the left, you see the piece off metallo fixed on the movement with two screws, if you search a picture in Google you see that your miss a Little screw placed orizzontally
