Does anyone know how to remove the Rotor of the P.9000 clone seagull movement

Well, I do not know, you can see on this photos.
The bridge does looks strange.
It is KW PAM312, he said it is a7750.

I waited for this watch for more than a month, now I feel very strange. I simply do not feel good about it because it is replica. Somehow I feel very bad about it I wanted to remove all fake decoration to make it more homage, to put regular 7750 rotor, and make it more honest. This way I will either give it to someone, sell it for few bucks, or trow it out of the window. I do not want to insult anyone who wears their replicas, but I simply do not feel good. I loved my faulty Parnis, it is simply something else, but this is just not real when I look at the back...

Your right, it's definitely a 7750 movement.

But I guess the thread of the rotor screw is broken in some way. Because the center screw should come out easily.

Thank you.

I made it to work by taking of the bridge, and putting it to the table, then with some small wooden hammer I hit it few times so the screw enter the bridge more. It is now good as before, without wobble, the rotor is stiff and it works well.
I know, my method is from the dark ages, but believe me, do deep inside I wanted to brake it and trow it in the garbage.

I decided to leave it the way it is, sell it or give it to someone. I suppose replicas are not for me.

Could you please tell me why my bridge looks different than all other a7750?

I know it's annoying & there would have been nothing more satisfying than hitting it with a big hammer BUT you kept your cool & got it sorted.Youve had a bad experience with the movement but I wouldn't let it put you off wearing the watch.Its a stunning looking watch brother

I'm trying to take off the rotor on a ST2555 PAM312 and it's driving me nuts. I removed the three deco screws using a rodico and I'm able to rotate the (glued?) center plate but that's it. The center plate doesn't come off. How do you guys do this?

 

[chris3007]

Just pop the rotor off.
Than you can remove the inner deco and than the bearing.

The center deco is plugged but sometimes very hard to remove.

Just pop the rotor off.

Unfortunately, the rotor doesn't come off. I didn't use excessive force though.

I had a brave moment and tried it again with a little more force and... the rotor popped right off. It wasn't even glued, just held by friction. The center "screw" however is held by glue.

Since most of the photos on the first page are unavailable, I shot some fresh ones. Once I finished lubricating the bearings I used a tiny amount of low friction Loctite 221 (using a needle) to re-glue everything in place.

Just FYI this is a PAM312 with a A23J ST2555 movement.
