Jut got my first pam - a pam 438 yess!!!! A few questions

[Cengawer]

I got the watch from pure time. Its the V6F ceramic with the free asso strap- "lite" version.

1-its keeping time few minutes late (3-5 minutes).Is it because it might not be fully winded? can I manually wind clockwise? I'm concerned as I dont want to mess up any of the gears. Please advise.

2- The date did not skip the next day. Now it could just be that I need to set it up between a certain time. Any tutorials would help.

3- How to set up the GMT function?

Thanks!

1 - I prefer shaking the watch "like mad cow" for a few seconds every morning to wind it up a bit, then let the usual wrist wear do the rest. Many members like to wind it manually when the power reserve is empty and they have no issues. Just do it slowly for good measure. 3-5 minutes sounds a bit too much.

2 - Turn the crown in time setting position for two complete cycles (hour hand should pass the 12 two times). If date does not change your movement has an issue.

3 - You can adjust the GMT hand with the crown in date setting position. One direction changes the date, the other moves the GMT hand.

Thank you for the quick and detailed response! I did all you said and it looks good for now. Ill see if the minutes fall back later.
The date did change after two cycles. phewww!

And don't quick set the date between 8pm - 4am as a general rule on any mechanical watch (it's actually 10-2 but be safe for good measure).
