Hey guys, I have a PAM049 with an A7750 low beat movement inside. Has anyone seen an issue where on their PAM's with A7750 / automatic, the crown is at a slant? I thought perhaps the crown was on a bent stem, but was told by the original owner I purchased it from that the stem was simply a bit long and due to the crown guard, has put the crown at a slant. It doesn't really make sense to me as even when the crown guard is engaged/locked, I can spin the crown freely and without more or less friction. When the crown is pulled to set time/date, it's still at a slant. It does seem firmly connected to the stem however.

Apologies if I haven't been detailed enough in my description. Thanks!

Da krone ist probably cross threaded on da stem. Long stems are however da primary cause of broken stems in da uhren with da lever secured krone.

sm iiH!

Cross threaded is likely. Hmm. I guess I'll see once I take it apart / throw in an eta 7750. Thanks stiff!
