PAM609 - Movement loose in the case

[Tobel]

Hi everyone,

I just received my new PAM609 and It looks great and the movement is working well. But the whole movement is actually moving within the case when It is turned upside down.

It's not a lot, maybe a couple of millimeters. However
1) it makes a cheap sound (tick) and
2) the small shock that the movement gets when it bumps either against the back glass (when facing up), or against the dial (when I turn with the dial up again) must not be good for its longevity.

Is that an issue that you have heard of on this or similar model? If so is there an easy way to fix it? Maybe a specific screw that I need to work on?

I have attached pictures to better explain.

If this is not a known problem I was thinking to open the case and just add a couple of glue dots between the side of the movement and the inside of the case. But preferred to ask your advice before doing something potentially stupid

The TD is ok if I send it back, but I figured it might save everyone the hassle if there's an easy solution.

Thanks!

There are screws that hold the movement in place so any decent smith can fix that for you. Mine came loose few months ago and it was fixed

Thanks a lot mate. A couple of additional questions:

- do you have the same model? 609 with p5000
- was the movement moving as much as what I describe ?
- do you know whether the screws are easily accessible once the back is open? I'm asking cuz your advice is to go to a decent watchsmith but where I live the best I've been able to find is basic. I might even consider to do it myself

Thanks a ton
