Base Movement - Panerai P.9011/P.9001

[geestyleed]

Dear all,

I recently bought a PAM1279. According to Puretime, it suppose to have a "Custom designed Asian automatic movement to match the genuine Panerai P.9011 movement at 28800vph, same balance wheel position as genuine P.9001 movement." As it behaves a bit different than my old PAM441 movement, I was wondering, what kind of base movement it is (Miyota?) or if it is a true "custom" asian movement.

Thanks! Looking forward on your responses

Sorry, I just should have searched more - please see the information for the movement below:

Clone P.9010, P.9011
- Manufactured by VSF only
- Are clones of P.9000 with modified markings, in accordance with P.9010
- The position of the balance wheel is "7" o'clock, instead of "11" on gen P.9010.
- Bridge design and appearance movt., Other.
- Not the correct thickness, although the closest one exists at the moment.
- Functions P.9000 and P.9010 correspond, so everything is correct except for resetting the seconds.
- For the new version of P.9010 used on models with a solid backcase, the functions are not correct, because gen, unlike a clone, does not have a stop second.
- The P.9011 clone is also a P.9001 clone, with a redesigned PR indicator on the back, which is more reminiscent of the P.9003.

I'm pretty sure these are based off a 7750 with decorative plates. They're not superclones.

At least this may mean, that A7750 parts may fit in case of failure. Due to the fact, that it is "thicker" than gen movt. would also indicate that there are deco plate put on top of the actual movement.

Has anyone successfully ETA 7750 swapped any of these newer models? I was able to do it on my old school reps that came with 7750's directly in them (299, 389, 508, etc) I would eta swap these in a heartbeat it if was something a watch maker could do.
