A while back the rotor on my PAM stopped completely, it has just been sitting in my desk ever since. I put it up in the sales section today, and later decided I wanted to remove the caseback and investigate the problem.

I thought it was a screw or something simple, but it seems there is a part that has loosened that stops the rotor. Can anyone explain what the problem is, and is it an easy fix?

Thanks

That's just a decorative plate that should be glued upon the balance bridge.
I see.two holes on it that make me think there might be a couple of screws floating inside your movement. If there is no damage to the balance wheel, you manage to find them and glue the plate back in its place movement should run again.

Thanks!! Hmm, I cant hear anything that is loose if I shake it carefully though. Anyhow, your answer is much appreciated. I will probably just sell it of with a bigger discount, as I dont posses the skills needed to fix this.

Since you cant hear anything loose, with the faux bridge taken off, does the movement work now?
