These screws are very crappy! All P9000 are affected! I have KW and ZF with the same issue!

Just use some kind of superglue or hypocement.

So, you suggest i ask the watchsmith to unscrew the final screw, pull out the rotor with force, find where the other 2 screws are hiding in the movements, remove them, and superglue the rotor back?

I was not aware that these are basically made to fail due to the glueing practice - thats to bad, would be good to mention this in ALEs Guide so people know that they could end up with trouble due to loose items in the movement (unless they open the movement and fix it somehow)

Well, watch repair guy opened the whole movement and found the 2 missing screws, he applied glue on the thread and screw both them back.

So now, only noise from the rotor, which is acceptable. Weird thing is, i found my rotor prefers to spin counter clockwise, if i try to spin it the other way, i feels like jerky and dont wanna move that way. Watch repair guy says he is not sure what to do, and blame on quality.. well, i can only smile...

Watchsmith must be thinking that Panerai is silly.
