Winding a pam 111M

[Mr. Pap]

Well i noticed that from the first moment i got it but i have to ask as to see if i have a problem.

When i am winding it (facing the dial, clockwise, upwards, towards 12) as i finish a spin the crown moves backwards! its like it has a resistance or something like that, which move it to that direction...

That looks weird to me as the other and only pam i had, a fiddy with swiss movement, didnt have that behavior, i mean when i finished a spin the crown didnt move backwards, it stayed there.

So is a "thing" of all 111Ms?

Yes. There is a slight resistance when you wind a 111M( and others?). It feels like it pulls back. You notice when you dont can wind anymore.

I have the same rep PAM 111M start winding clockwize about 25 winds...as time goes on I ended up winding in about 50 times. Its fine no worry.

Does it rotate back a lot? It might just be that the click piece that stops the ratchet wheel from unwinding has a lot of travel (look at the back of the watch as you wind it!)

 

[Mr. Pap]

Basically that click piece (half gear at 6) is the "problem", when winding its moving, when the winding stops, this must go back to its first position, so thats where the crown is moving backwards...
Its a little bit annoying to be honest when windind it...

Yes its normal, it's exactly the same on my 111 and also on my Sinn klassik which is the same movement. Worried me at first as well but both are running strong.

Same on mine.

There seems to be a common theme here......same with mine as well.
