Well it's not really surprising as the movement is copy of the Panerai OP XI movement, which has a power reserve of 56 hours. Congrats.

I have myself tried all my ways to find a solution but I couldn’t find any. Therefore, after contacting Puretime, we have agreed to give the watch to a local watchsmith in order to learn what the problem is and then fix it if possible. Sending the watch back would be the long way. As soon as I get result from my watchsmith, I will share here. Also thanks for your precious opinions..
Last x3 out of x6 PAM111 I have owned had some form of movement problem....I’ve read so many other PAM111 threads with similar title to yours....quality of movement build in this watch seems a bit sketchy...but obviously can’t say conclusively.
Regardless, it’s cheap to fix locally. Never send it back to China, unless you want to wait 3months and have it repaired in some warehouse....with no assurance it was fully serviced.

Hi again,
I have talked with the watchsmith. He says the movement is stuck. There are problems in gears and he needs to re-assamble the movement and make necessary lubrications. He is giving guarantee to this solution and hopefully solve the problem. Also he will put micrometric screw back to its original position since it was missing there.
Now, I have contacted with my TD to decide how to proceed. I would prefer to give it to watchsmith since sending back is a very long way and the cost of the service is relatively cheap since I am in Turkey. Therefore, I think it is also better for the TD.

That is a good plan. But get the approval from your TD so they can cover/help with the repair cost. The amount you will pay for the repair will most likely be worth the aggravation of waiting for the watch to return from China (not to mention you may have to spend for shipping it to the TD).
My advise for the future: buy a proper watch screwdriver kit and a magnifier loupe before you work on these screws. Some screws look pretty banged up.
Already after one day wear my Pam111, I noticed that the screw turns out.
I'll get a ball case opener. What do you recommend, what should I do with the screw? So she does not turn out anymore.
A bit of glue, with a needle, on the thread?
