A6497 - intermittent problem, help wanted !!!!!

Recommended Posts

gtwc

I have an A6497 in one of my Pam reps (not the newer platinum plated one) that works fine when the watch

is lying flat on a table, face up or face down.

 

When I strap the little sucker to my wrist, the little sucker stops. Almost every time. Nearly as regular as

clockwork. It can be re-started by tapping either end near the lugs. H'ever, unless you are constantly

checking the time every second available, you are going to miss a tap or 2 and it stops.

 

Take it off, swap watches, and watch it work perfectly as a desk ornament or paperweight.

 

Any suggestions / ideas? I am not technically minded but I do have a set of Pam caseback

openers if the fix is EXTREMELY SIMPLE !!!

 

Look forward to a helpful reply...................................

Hopefully one of the modders can help mate, I had a similar problem and it was nothing more than dust in the movement, a quick blow out and it was fine. I would still suggest you get someone to look at it for you if you aren't proficient at fixing them. :)
