PAM P900 movement

[Neil]

Anyone in the US that will work on these movements.? Any recommendations greatly appreciated!

Ok will try a different tack…..does anyone know of any dealers that would be able to source a VSF P 900 movement?

I would say reach out to a dealer and ask them they can tell you straight up..

Not sure which thread to bump, but in general, is this VSF P.9000/P.900 clone holding up well for everyone?

The clone 6497 I got in an HWF was trash, so I replaced it with a Seagull ST36. Can't do that with a clone though, so I am curious how it's going.

Or could you just stick a non modded 7750 in there?

There is no VSF p900 movement.
VSF has a p9000 clone that is labeled as p9000, p9001, p9010, p900.

Hey @locvs
i have a question regarding the loud rotor: wouldn't it be possible to remove the rotor completely and simply use the watch with manual winding?
Or is it smarter to grease/oil the bearing?

You can do both. But oiling silences the rotor to bearable levels.

Thank you!

What happened?

btw P9K is considered a good and stable movement in the replica world.

Thanks for the reply. The hairspring came off the stud. And I don't mean the stud fell out of the arm, I mean the epoxy failed and it came right off lol

Before that, the setting lever screw broke in half. And I don't mean I stripped it while tightening it; it fell in half on its own and it came out when I was about to remove the stem.

These aren't real ST36's so I guess this is to be expected. Cheaper than cheap! I replaced it with (what I assume is) a real Seagull ST36.

(also there was no dial washer but that's not as big of a deal)

Good to hear on the P9000. Might be something interesting to learn on later...

Damn, that's bad... Never heard such stuff happened to a A6497.

The first one didn't even pass the TD's QC

I remembered there was another major issue with it so I took the balance complete from another 6497 and wound it up... It gets good time for a while and then after a few minutes this happens:



Leave it like that and it eventually stops.

My theory is that when they cut the 4th wheel to make it a no seconds, some filings made their way into the movement. Either that or they cut the pinion too short.

I am just setting up a workshop now and I'll be able to take a look at it really soon.
