Help! Crown won't wind - stuck in time set mode

Hi guys,

My Pam (calibre OP1) has a winding issue. The crown is stuck in the time set mode (can only move the hour and minute hands), so I cannot wind the watch. Furthermore, the watch is not keeping time because the crown is stuck on the time set mode, so it's essentially dead. Anyone experience this before?

Unfortunately, I just purchased this second-hand watch and am pretty upset. And yes, I've reached out to the seller.

Any insight would be appreciated.

Sorry to hear about this, I'll say it's needed a service you can take it to any good watchmaker, it's an ETA 6497 easy fix good luck

Very easy to fix, just visit a local watchmaker. Any watchmaker can fix this.

Does the crown guard or lever show any signs of impact/shock?

Nope. Looks normal. But the crown won't "click" into the winding position. Forever stuck in time setting mode.

NYC. Can anyone recommend any quality watchmaker? Also, with an ETA movement (Caliber OP1), is it worth taking it to Panerai for servicing? Or should I just take it to a quality watchmaker?
