Ok, now I know the answer, one week later.
My p.3000 clone runs exactly 169h and 48min.
That's really not bad for a Chinese movement...

At the other hand, I love mechanics. I love the feel of the mechanics when I wind up a watch and set the time....so a movement with a PR of a week is not really the best for me....[emoji23]

Thanks for this tutorial Chris. My reassembly time for these movements is approximately 40 minutes.

Thanks J.
I have reassembled the P.3000 clone now 6-7 times and I'm much much faster now. It's not that hard if you know how it works [emoji6]

Great post Chris! :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:
I had own ZF PAM372 with this movement. It run not more than 72 hours. How can your movement P.3000 clone runs exactly 169h and 48min. Awesome!
I wear it not than 1 month, the watch not working & send back to China for repair.
I had sold it after repair it. I wish to get another new PAM soon.

Which movt does your Pam 372 have mate?

I believe there are two movt that the Pam 372 uses, one is a decorated A6497 which have around 50hours of power reserves, second is the p.3000 which have double barrel, that can holdup alot of power reserves.

May I know what factory & what model comes with P.3000 which have double barrel?
Thanks

There's alot of factory that uses P.3000 clone such as your Pam 372 from ZF, you can read ALE's thread for more informations about it.

All the P.3000 clone movt on reps have a double barrel mate such as Pam 372, 449, 448 etc.

Anyone here own this watch?

ZF factory but different movement, correct me if I'm wrong.
Movement: Asian UNITAS-6497-2 17J hand-winding movement with custom bridges decorated to Panerai P3000 movement 120 Hours Power Reserve.

That's a bit confusing. The A6497 movement power reserve should be close to the gen, which is between 46 (ETA standard) to 56 (OP enhanced movement) hours. The superclone P.3000 movement power reserve on the other hand, has demonstrated at least 120 hours PR, which is in excess of the standard P.3000 PR of 72 hours. So you either have the former or the latter but not both. Best to clarify with Ryan.

I'm confusing on the P.3000 clone movement too.
I still considering to get PAM127 or PAM617. :sad::unsure:
