PAM 243 NOOB Date Change issue

[Thrasher]

I bought this Noob PAM 243 from Plankton back in Dec 2014, Its been a great watch and I dearly love it but about 6 months ago it started hanging on the date and getting stuck while still keeping accurate time. I sent it to VAC who fixed it and its been working great since until about three days ago when it started hanging up on the date again, I'm sure I read this was a problem with the V1 but a search revealed nothing. I have emailed [MENTION=1220]vaccum[/MENTION] but he already has 5 of my watches getting AR , service and repair. I know he will get back to me and say send it in but in the mean time I would like to know what is the cause of this problem and what remedies are available.

Thank You in advance.

I don't have a pic, but what I have seen is the pin that moves the hour wheel is slipping underneath the hour wheel detents. You can either bend all the hour wheel detents down slightly or bend the pin that turns the hour wheel up slightly to catch the hour wheel.

Today it changed the date correctly by itself... WTF first time in 5 days

Reliability is a big concern for me when it comes to watches and therefore I have all my watches running on swiss ETA...problem solved and way cheaper than have it serviced every few month.

OK its back at it again and what did I do , I moved the time ahead 1 hour for DST so maybe pulling the crown out misaligned something because this morning I pulled the crown out and it snapped over to correct date. interesting????
