I traded for a VsF Pam 1033, never saw the original sales thread. Since I received it and started wearing it, it stops every night while I'm asleep. It also stopped while I was on a 4 hour flight. The member that traded it to me said "It’s always been fine once fully wound. Those are 3 day PR auto clones so you have to fully wind it up first." I had been winding it +/- 20 turns each time it stopped; trading member says "....wind it for about 60-90 seconds. It takes a few to get it fully wound up. Gen is the same way. I own 6 Gen Pams. And 4 of them are 3 day autos....You can’t overwind it."

So now maybe I'm getting a little paranoid, and I'm looking at the second hand trying to confirm it is moving smoothly. My first Pam and I'm not sure whether it might be lagging. I used the iPhone stopwatch to time a minute, but I still can't tell whether it might be lagging then catching up....
