Hi Guys!
I purchased a PAM164N a few months back (Got it delivered to home as I was working in Sydney). Anyway I wore it for the first time today no problems everything working fine, this afternoon I changed the date as I was too lazy to do it this morning. Now its not functioning the small hand to the left is not moving and neither is the others...
The watch is wound so its definitely not that, just wondering if im missing something?

Sorry if this is a Noob question...

Thanks

What time did you set the date. Between 10-2 is a big no no

why not change it at 10-2 sry for my ignorance

Hi thran

The automatic devices to change the date in a watch don't start just a 12hours, they start before 12, it depends on the movement. We could say that about 10 hours. And these automatic devices, don't stop their work exactly at 12 hours, they remain "engaged" somem time. We could say until 2 hrs.
It you change the date when the wtach time is between 10 and 2 your manual operation interferes the automatic operation of the watch with very possible serious damages in the movement.
Therefore it is very important not to change manually the date when the watch is marking between 10 and 2 hours. (Between 9 and 3 to be more sure.) This is especially important in 7750 movements (very delicate at this regard)
So, before change de date manualy, place the time at 6,30 for example, then change the date manually and, only after that, adjust the correct time.
