My fascination with PAM's has really grown recently and I'm thinking about picking one up. The one that really catches my eye is the 210. Could someone explain exactly what the swan neck regulator is compared to a normal reg? Does it give any benefit? Thanks in advance.

Well, first of all - GET A PAM... They are very cool. I love the brand and enjoy the friendships around collecting and owning these beauties...

The Swan Neck is an innovative way to keep pressure on the crown gaurd enabling the watch to stay waterproof. For me, it is more noticeable with my "swan neck" open then if the "crown guard" is unscrewed... I am constantly checking my Rolex watches....

So, the swan neck is a great invention and I think it looks cool. Other folks on here will probably have better more technical information.

Get a Pam - you won't regret it. The 210 is wonderful.

Welcome!

Thanks for the reply. Is it visible through the display back of the 210? I'm not sure what to look for and I'm very new to the manual wind movements of the PAM's I'm looking at.

Jackson, you are taking about the crown guard on Lums. That is not a swan neck regulator.

A swan neck regulator is a way to change how fast or slow a watch runs to make it within COSC specs for example.

Here is the back of my 111.

Here is an article that I found if you need more.

Thanks mfer, that's great info. So it sounds like something that won't need to be adjusted often. Probably only during regular service.

Only if your watch isn't operating at COSC specs.

The regulator arm is used to adjust the timing.

The "swan neck' is the spring tensioner that keeps the regulator arm rigid against the adjusting screw.
