panerai lock crown moves?

[manutanc]

I bought a pam111 my first panerai
but is it normal that the crown holder is not completely blocked?
does it make very small movements?

if you mean the hook that closes the wheel, mine also has a slight play, I don't know if that's right.

Yes just like this
a little game

maybe the experts know if this is normal

Great link to the tutorial.
I’m lazy so I just wedged and wound some dental floss and wrapped it around the lever pivot. Was a bit fiddly but it worked out fine. Lever has no play now when opened.
