Woodster 0 Posted January 9, 2013 prooper Noob question so feel free chuckle at me.... just got my PAM 111 V3 Noob from Mary & Rochest (pictures to be posted later) and its dynamite! It is my first mechanical watch and I want to make sure i'm doing things correctly. When i'm winding the watch to 'charge it' so to speak, do I pull the crown out fully (so the hands move) or just out to the first notch and wind it? Cheers!

toehh 0 Posted January 9, 2013 I believe you don't even have to pull the crown to wind a PAM. It's like that with my 253 anyway. Just open your crownguard and turn the crown Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crusader 0 Posted January 9, 2013 No notches, no pulling. Just open the lever and wind away Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

houndoggie 58 Posted January 9, 2013 Or you could try wearing it, I heard it sometimes workes with mechanical watches! not on a handwind PAM. stem has typically 3 positions. 0 is the winding position 1 is the date set and/or GMT hand set (one click out) 2 is time set (2 clicks out) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
