PAM 292J crown problem

[Stealthy]

I bought this 292J from one of the TD here and it has arrived around 1 month ago.

This is the latest Noob Edition, full ceramic including the crown.

Few days ago, some part of the crown (the one that should be attached to the case) popped out by itself, even after you locked it.

Tried to push and lock it back, but after sometime, it will popped out again.

Here's the picture in the normal condition:

Here's the picture when its unlocked:

And here's the picture when it popped out:

Is this problem fixable? I don't think its a good idea to ship it back to the TD unless its a serious problem.

Please kindly help and thanks in advance

I think the tube has broken or come loose from the case. The crown and stem will have to be removed to find out what is going on. If the tube has just come loose and is not broken it should be a relatively easy fix.

Is it self repairable or better go to watchsmith?

Can't see the threads on your crown tube? Looks like its broken .. Hard to tell from the photos though

Any luck with a solution? I have the same problem with my Noob 292j.

I sent my watch back to my TD and in total, after 1.5 month I received it back.

I think they've changed the case or the crown, not the whole watch....
