Hello,
I have three Pam's and my titanio Luna Rossa had very little compression when closing the crown lever. I did lots of ocean swimming and legit waterpark slides in my Pam1074 (after passing 3bar test) and wanted the Pam1507 to feel the same when closing the crown lever. Meaning, some confident tightness and compression.
When I took out the crown (in the winding position - Not already pulled out) I took out original washer and it was very thin. Probably a defect in the batch at VSF.
Solution 1 - I bought a pack of 5mm diameter silicone washers, 1mm thick, and 2mm inner hole diameter.
Result = too thick. Though I lubed in gasket twist container/cup I had extra resistance when winding the watch.
Final solution = Make/create a gasket. Bought a $6 dollar small sheet of rubber gasket creation material on Amazon. 1/32inch thickness (USA imperial = about .7 to .8mm) which I am happy with, 60a durometer. Seems fine, not too hard or soft.
Bought a set of punch holes 1mm to 5mm on Amazon. 2mm hole then 5mm around the 2mm hole and done.
If you need I can link the tools just pm or reply etc..
