dingle 57 Posted June 22, 2010 If anybody can help, Please do so. This was my pam 183 I sold to Atmos. During the trip to Germany the minute hand came off and the seconds hand (along with it's pinion). You will also notice no straps. They were confiscated because of being alligator. They also took the lugs ( i am not sure about the lug screws). If anybody can be of help or know a thread where somebody put something like this back together, please post here. I feel so bad for Atmos. He has been a true gentleman throughout this whole thing. pic: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
greg_r 84 Posted June 22, 2010 OUCH!!!!! Man, sorry to hear that, mate. Domi is a watchsmith based in Germany. He's a member here, but trades over on RWI. He should be able to do whatever repairs you need and he's not expensive... Get Col to put you in touch with him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sconehead 5 Posted June 22, 2010 I can't see the pinion being broken. Got a clearer pic mate? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KinCaidk 0 Posted June 22, 2010 Bummer, guys! For both of you. I can't really see the pics properly on my phone. But I don't think the pin for the seconds came off. It's just to small to see. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KBH 7 Posted June 22, 2010 It looks to me like the pin is still there. The second hand has a long tube on it. I'm sure it just needs to be put back on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

trailboss99 997 Posted June 24, 2010 Oh FFS, could they have taken less care? NEVER send croc anywhere without checking first and never to the EU. I would be on their case about the damage tho, they have the right to take the strap but not to screw the watch while they do it. If AU customs did that they would expect a bill. Col.
