Questions about opening a pam

Hi guys

I received my first pam today (111) (and Im already feeling the urge to buy another). Sadly the little pin which the hands are mounted on is rusty. It didn't show in the QC pics so Im just unlucky i guess, anyway I was thinking about opening it and polish the little pin (or hat or whatever it is). The problem is I have never opened a watch before, I have seen some videos where people remove the caseback and it seems simple enough, but I cant find any tutorials how to open it to expose the dial.

So my questions are:

Is this too much for a noob? Should I just let it be? (You can only notice from 40-30cm away, but it still buggs me)

I guess I have to remove the hands aswell, any tricks for this?

Do I need any special tools for this? I read about some rubber ball for opening casebacks.

I tried to take some pictures of it but my phone camera cant focus so close.

Thanks in advance.

It is better that you took your Pam to a Watchsmith mate for polishing the CP if you uncertain upon dismantling it.

Hmm, maybe you are right. I will look into where I can find a watchsmith who are willing to handle reps in my area. Thanks
