Chixisigma 461 Posted October 9, 2018 Hi all, Please see pics below. I was surprised by how much i enjoyed wearing this as a daily beater. Sat really nice and comfortably on the wrist. Good height for collared shirts etc. But now the lugs a bit broken. Q. CAN IT BE FIXED OR DO I NEED TO CONSIDER BUYING @brang1 PAM IN M2M? Cheers, Cxs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NCRich 13,803 Posted October 9, 2018 I don't understand. Did you lose the retaining screw? Panatime sells the lugs and screws. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GingerApple 7,306 Posted October 9, 2018 Um, good luck with that one Chi, seems a simple fix. Can I thread crap a wee bit? Does anyone know of any good stripdown tutorials for Pams? I've had a look here, at RWI, and on Watch Repair Channel, but can't find anything useful. I've got a Pam that's losing time on the wrist, but running perfectly when laid flat. I saw on the web that some watches have what looks like a metal washer bent into a U shape that basically keeps the wheels and/or hands pushed on to the other wheels/pinions. If the u-shaped washer/spring thing is loose, then when the watch is upside down, things can fall out of synch. Oh, this makes no sense!!!! I found a great gif on the internet ages ago that explains this , but I can't find it now. I'm making no sense. Someone shoot me. Shoot me now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
