So I've been pretty busy lately and haven't been wearing my KW PAM 382 Bronzo that I got from Sead in July. About a month ago it seems I dropped the Bronzo on the hardwood floor at home, thought nothing of it as it was still running and saw no visual damage. I put it away in the watch box and got busy with other projects well the other day I put a cool green Croc strap from Hamilton (Donerix) on and noticed the watch was losing about a minute per hour. So First thought was take it to a watch Smith and I was already to when I remembered dropping it on the floor. So I start reading up on the 7750 and think wow if it landed on its side the kinetic energy transfer due to the weight may have moved the little lever that adjusts the fast/slow of the movement to very slow. I unscrew the back and after reading what I could find started adjusting the lever and sure enough it seems to be working. I haven't got it perfect yet and I had read to tighten up all the movement screws, what I didn't pay attention to in one post is some of these screws are fake...wtf Fark deco plates especially crap that interferes with the function of the watch, So I left a couple do nothing screws out. Will see what happens next, by the way these fake screws seem to be held in place by some fake glue..HOW STUPID is that, its more like white grease then glue. I will advise further and if I get a chance will take a picture

Yeah.. theres a plate and screws that are just decorations on the P.9000, it's the only way to get it looking like the gen. But they don't interfere with the actual function of the watch or determine it's timekeeping. It's just a plate on top of an A7750, held by i think 3 real screws that are different than the other fake ones. The glue is bad for them, i've had alot come loose when i've owned them.

I told Chris if he finds anymore that might come loose to just delete them and mail them back when the watch is done.
