Most watchmakers should be able to do it, I’d say it isn’t that much work. Open up the case back, remove crown and stem, remove crown from stem and cut the stem a little, then put it all back together

Hello everyone! I have a PAM Submersible 01039. The watch was working perfectly until I accidentally dropped it. Now the winder is not working the same. The rotation feels flat vs clicking sound and feel. The watch now stops until I shake it and then it starts up again, but the movement is slower and so the watch is...

After doing this myself I can confidently say its not for the feint of heart. If you are new to watches I strongly advise NOT to do it yourself. Without the proper hand removal tools you will 100% fuck your dial and hands up. Google RWI + your location + service providers and find someone qualified.

Yes! Will need quite some work though. Crown tube is completely stripped and corroded. Polywatch will clean that crystal up if it’s plexiglass, although around the time the Air King Date was made they were starting to switch to sapphire crystals so in that case you’d need a new crystal. Considering the crown can’t scre...

Yeah I wouldn't mess with the crown at all until you get it to someone who can perform the aforementioned services, but it does point to a good direction with how everything is condition wise. Still needs to have a complete teardown service and rebuild but overall if the bones are good it shouldn't take much in the way...

Hello…I was unable to locate the rose gold timepiece with this exact dial. The silver case was the closest I could find. Anyone have a suggestion or watchmaker that can assist? I’m looking to swap the silver out for rose gold, thanks in advance.

That's going to take some precision/talent to plate the case/clasp or luck to find both pieces. Best case would be to keep looking and sell the other when you find it. Just my thought. GL! Beautiful watch.
