Hello, I just received my PAM 111 by Noob and PAM 359 by VSF. Two perfect watches. But, before doning a mistake, can you tell me how ti change the date of the 359 please. I try one, but the hour hand seems to turn around the clock 24 hours before changing the date. Is it good ?
And what about the genuine movement ? Is it the same thing ?
Thank you for your help.

That's correct. Handy for people who change time zones often, not so handy for people who leave their watches sitting in a box set to the 15th and then want to wear them on the 30th :)

Thank you for your answer. Is the genuine movement work as the clone ?

This...^^^^^^

All 359’s have a quick date set at crown position 2. Including Gen! Pull crown out 1 click from winding position, and rotate crown, either direction, (can’t remember which way on a 359). The date will flip through the numbers. Try to make sure you don’t do this when the watch time is set between 22:00 and 02:00 hours.

The 359 is a P9000, which has quickset hour, not date. The V2 rep with superclone movement replicates this functionality as the OP described.

"That’s a staggering level of accuracy — and it’s been consistent. The most interesting aspect of the P.9000 is that it has no quick-change for the date. Instead, you pull the crown to position 1 and then you adjust the hour hand (back or forward) independently of the minute hand.If you’re 10 days off, it’s quite long to set the date. But it’s cool and it’s useful for changing time zones as you can advance or reverse the hour while holding the minute steady. "
