Strange behaviour of my 288 when doing initial winding

[Juraj_G]

Hi PAM guys, have a question. This week, i have received the PAM 288 from Sead. Long story short - when doing initial winding (what i usually do with the automats, like 20 winds), i can hear and feel, that by turning the crown, this is causing the rotor to move. This i do not have at all with my other 7750 PAMs.

Also, even when screwing the crown back in, still, as its clockwise, its causing the rotor movement. Btw., when the rotor rotates, it also vibrates heavily.

Anyway, the question is, if this is a normal behaviour with the dial layout of the 288 and the subdials and their functions.

Many thanks in advance, especially @mysterio @chris3007

That is a very strange response from winding! Are you sure it's turning the rotor and not just winding the mainspring and that is dry and making the vibration and noise?

Its a problem with the reversing wheel.
When the clutch at this wheel don’t work correctly go‘s the power from the winding to the rotor.

Well, indeed strange. Anyway, i am not a watchsmith, so have no clue. But something tells me, that it should not be like this, despite the fact, that the watch keeps very good time. Dont know about the power reserve yet, as i got it on friday only and was not wearing it during the we.

And the watch is a keeper, definitely [emoji4]

Hi Chris, does that mean, that it should be / behave like this (and i can relax) or does this particular part have a malfunction in my case?
