Getting To Know The Place
This thread has been dormant but is it confirmed that the VSF V2 531 is in fact a 24 hour GMT. Some TD sites make no mention of it and all the others I have seen have it as 12 hour GMT which makes zero sense with the dial found on the 531.
Hello!
Overall, the latest VSF V2 had a 12H GMT function.
There was a short period in which the first P.9001 used the 24H function similar to the previous 7750, but they were quickly replaced by 12H. because 438, 441, 320 the most popular models had 12H GMT. The same fate befell the PAM531.
These models on the p.9001 clone with 24h were not sold very much, and they are rare, and I hardly saw any mentions of PAM531, except in this thread.
In general, you should choose if you want the correct gen functions and balance wheel position but 12H and choose VSF V2, or take earlier V6F with 24H but not correct functions and balance wheel position.
Any of them, except for VSF V2 (and that should be clarified), will have to look for m2m.
Also, if you are considering a new watch, let me remind you that all questions are best addressed to your TD.
Good luck.

Yes, I have the VSF V2 PAM 531 ( just received it 2 weeks ago ) and can confirm it is a 12H GMT - essentially the GMT hand moves in sync with the hour hand. It is not a 24H GMT as indicated by the dial. On the + side, the quality of the watch case and dial and crown and leather band is V Good. The movement has @ 30+ hours PR so far and it winds very smoothly. The rotor spins like crazy on occasion after a good shake.... not sure if this is normal for this V2 clone movement ? The PR indicator display is faux and seems to be hard set at the 2 day mark... The hour hand can be set independently and the GMT hand can be used for a separate time zone as long as you know its a 12 hour setting.. takes some time for your brain to adjust to the logic - essentially you need to ignore the 24 hour markers...
The Lume is excellent with same colour on all applied surfaces. Date changes at @ 11:50PM and accuracy on my example is sitting at @ -5 to -10 secs when worn on the wrist. Overall its a decent watch let down by the BS GMT. But I'm still loving it and its super comfortable to wear and overall quality of fit and finish is V Good. Considering how difficult it can be to get the watch you want at the moment due to the raids and ongoing supply and factory issues - I'll take what i can get.
