Hello @ALE7575

I hope you're doing well
Just received QC pictures from TD and after reading all treads and topics about V3 and V4 differences I noticed this issues:

-Crown looks like a V3 version
-Caseset is a V3 in my opinion but it’s hard to tell from this angle. I asked a 12 to 6 angle picture.
-Officine Panerai engraving looks acceptable but hard to tell because the picture quality is low
-Y incablock is ok but the regulator dagger is not touching the Swan neck spring

What do you think about that do you agree?

Thanks :)

Is it easy to source that screw that is opposite of the swan neck to help regulate time?


Long story- short, just received PAM111 today and it's missing it. Wasn't missing in the QC pics though. Just shot an email to the TD, will see how they'll rectify this.

I had similar problem with the micro screw going missing and on opening the case back it fell out. Worth opening your watch and retrieving it before it blocks the movement...

Thanks man! I was searching for it for a few minutes without taking the case back off, but as soon as I took it off it was wedged between the plates.... now I just gotta find a local smith to put this back on :(

My Noob PAM 111 V3 also had the same problem... the micro screw came out and lodged in the hairspring. Not cool!

I have noticed that the swan neck mounting block has either badly cut to non existent threads on some of my watches so I have simply removed the screw. it serves no purpose and is a potential risk of damage. No one looks at the back of my watches except me [emoji4]

If you take a look at the shot of the back of kurokyli's QC, on the right hand side, there is the incablock and the adjustment lever (+ and - next to it). The adjustment lever is flanked one side by the swan neck and the other by the micro adjustment screw, you can see it side on.

Mine fell off once and stopped the movement, had it serviced and it's fallen out again however the watch still runs. I need to get the back off and see if I can find it and fish it out for good.

do you guys think that either removing it at all or fixing it with loctite is any good?

I was thinking if every noob Pam 111 has the micrometer screw being loose? I have so far met 3 pieces with this issue. What could be the reason?

Just poor assembly QC. As it's not a functional part, my feeling is that the factories don't give this as much attention as the functional parts.
