PAM 604 runs too fast

[Claxon]

Hello folks,
I have a problem with my PAM604 Radiomir Firenze SF P.3000 V2. All of a sudden he started taking 60/80 minutes a day. It was still for approx 15 days and after wind gave this error. Could anyone give me some advice as to which defect might be?

thx

regulate it, quite a few threads on how to do this, and fairly simple. or send it to a watch smith for service.

Hello,
from what I understand you must adjust through the lever under the bridge as shown in the image.
Is the verse +/- correct? Should something be removed before adjusting? Is it possible to adjust with the movement running?

thx

With that kind of sudden change I would look at whether the watch has become magnetised
i can't see clearly from your picture but the balance Spring does look as tho its magnetised to me

Strange. it has never been close to any magnet. for two months always in the same box and place.

Have a close look at the balance spring if it's all sort of stuck together then that's the issue, I can't think of anything else that would cause a watch sitting in a box to suddenly start losing that amount of time per day, it doesn't have to have been a magnet, electrical items can give of weak magnetic fields, has the watch box been stood on or near. Electrical items or even cables

Thx for your support,
I'll try to take a close look. If magnetism is the problem, would you give me any suggestions to solve?
thx

You can use a phone app like Lepsi to check for magnetism and if the watch is in fact magnetized get a demagnetizer off of eBay. The app is free and a demagnetizer is cheap.

Hello folks,
it looks magnetized. With the app detects ca. 250 microtesla while the normal value in air measures 45. I will buy a demagnetizer and try. I'll let you know if I've solved the problem.
Thx you all for the support

Not solved.
In fact it was magnetized so with the demagnetizer it was demagnetized, but the problem remained as before, about 120 minutes a day. I also checked with a compass

That might indicate that the movement needs servicing, if not outright replacement. Your watchmaker should be able to recommend which course of action to take.

thx mysterio
I will follow your advice.
