Hi. Just bought a Pam 111 few weeks ago and after a short running period my watch still shows +6-7s a day. I know it's not that much but I know that the Unitas can do way better.

How can I regulate it? Is it easy to do it? Is the swan neck enough for that kind of work?

thanks

The swan neck is just fake at a A6497 movement. You can't regulate the movement with that swan neck.
You must use the little lever to regulate the movement.
but +6-7 s/d is actually very good for a Asian low beat movement. I would do nothing

Thanks for your replies.

Thanks for the link I have made some research but when I see this: "Once you have done that, hold it face down and smack it in the palm of your hand or side of your leg about 20 times" i can't think of it as a serious solution.

Come on really?!!

And it's not magnetized neither.

Those are "solutions" for heavy gaps I presume.
I know is Very good for a Chinese movement but I had a "marina militare" and it was pretty damn precise!!

I didn't check the video in the link but it seems more of a convenient and solid solution than just "hit" the watch.

I just don't feel that confident in opening the case and put my hands in the "machine"

6-7 seconds is near perfect for these watches
Leave things like that and pray to always remain so
