Thanks! That’s good to know. Now I can go to my TD and see what can be done about. Most likely, I’m gonna take the loss and have a watchsmith fix here. I don’t want to send this back to China :/
I have the same watch and can confirm that the second hand only stops at third position.
That said, it seems like yours is a minor issue that's only noticeable when you are setting the date.
You may want to reconsider taking the risk to have it "fixed" by a watchsmith, if the overall timekeeping function isnt faulty.
Sometimes living with a minor flaw is part of the rep-game.. especially if it's not noticeable on wrist

You are absolutely right TudorMonkey. Who knows what I will get back. Maybe something worse than what I have. I’m probably gonna let it go. Thanks!
Is this watch now considered by the community as a super clone/rep? All of the super clone lists I can find are old as shit and its hard to even find the models available. VSF seems to be the only PAM player now.

Put Some Respect On My Name
Well, for super rep status, a glass back case with a non-working power reserve is already enough. I have never been interested in this model in detail for myself, but I think there might be something else there. I don’t remember that in the classification, but for me it is a replica of the first class....

I have this exact PAM320 VSF rep purchased from InTime. I really like this model, as it's a big watch and I'm a big man I've purchased the 2017 and 2008 metal bracelets (reps) for it, as well as OEM black and royal blue rubber straps, with OEM tang buckle. It looks the part, esp on the 2008 bracelet. I recently sold my Gen Breitling Super Avenger as it wasn't getting the wrist time it deserved. The PAM320 has took it's place as the occasional/best piece, and for a fraction of the £

Hi Guys.
I also bought the "PAM320 GMT VSF V1: 1 with P.9001" a few weeks ago. At jtime.cc.
The watch is great, but I am a little surprised that the power reserve indicator on the back does not work.
The dealer says this is normal, it's just a "faux function". Is that really so???
I look forward to your feedback.

Hi guys,
I have a 438 V2 from VSF with P9001 clone. It is the same watch but in a different material and all in black.
The seconds hand only stops in third position. I also have a 312 and a 388 from VSF with P9000 clone and they also do the same.
The P9001 clone has two basic differences from the original.
One is the one you comment on the PR that it has on the back mgf-martin. It is not functional, only decorative.
The other, the one that in my opinion is more important, is that when you bring the seconds hand to third position it just stops, it does not go to @ 12. The original does. This is intended to synchronize multiple watches. It's something that I don't think I'll ever do. But it is something indicative that it is not original for someone who knows the movement.
Otherwise it looks like a beautiful watch to me. Elegant and sporty at the same time and with a size that makes it imposing on the wrist.
P.S.: my 312 that has exactly the same case as a 320 fits perfectly on a 2008 rep bracelet. look at the photo.

That's not always the case (pun unintended). There are at least 2 new style bracelets and one cannot be used on other watches.
