osteocruncher 0 Posted March 21, 2012 Cannot believe it. 1st watch ordered and it is not working. Cannot wind the watch as it seems like the crown cannot move the 1st cog. Took loads of pictures of my 1st purchase. Contacted the dealer and waiting for a reply. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crusader 0 Posted March 21, 2012 That's a bummer, sorry to hear that. If it makes you feel any better, my first rep was also DOA, hands were reattached so they were just floating inside the watch. This happens, during the transport, don't let it get you down. Contact the dealer and get a replacement. It will take a while to get there and back, but eventually it should be solved.

robznet 0 Posted March 21, 2012 That's a total shit mate, but a lot of members have had the same happen, your dealer will sort you out I'm sure. Trust me - it will get better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
osteocruncher 0 Posted March 21, 2012 Cheers guys, I know the dealer will do right. As you all know the 1st wait is the hardest and cannot believe I will have to wait again. Just put the clear protective case back on the PAM and the strap label. Put it in the draw and saw how good the superlume is!! Glowing like there is Kryptonite in there!!!!!

greg_r 81 Posted March 21, 2012 Damn - what a bummer. It's happened to all of us but it's not that common, really. I'm sure your dealer will sort it out for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

midasmook 14 Posted March 21, 2012 Open the back and have a look you never know what you might find. Might be an easy fix. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dingle 57 Posted March 21, 2012 Is it ticking at all? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
osteocruncher 0 Posted March 21, 2012 Open the back and have a look you never know what you might find. Might be an easy fix. Please advise, which is the easiest way to get the back off. Do you think my dealer will replace it if he reads this post and i have tampered with it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

osteocruncher 0 Posted March 21, 2012 The crown wheel is very wobbly, must have been damaged in transportation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nuker 30 Posted March 21, 2012 My first and the only rep was also DOA, but dozens of "gentle" bitchslaps put balance wheel on it's right place Did you opened caseback? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gtwc 1 Posted March 21, 2012 Pitted oedema is nasty. So are DOA watches. Bad luck. Suggest (as others have) that you contact dealer ASAP before attemting a 'self-fix' and thus invalidating terms of the possible non-existent warranty !!!! Let us know what transpires.................. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
torobravo 9 Posted March 21, 2012 Try to open the crownguard and wind it that way. I received a few watches for repair perfectly working from first time buyers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tesmith2112 0 Posted March 21, 2012 I've always been able to wind my PAM with the crown guard down. Is this not right? Can it harm the watch? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
