Just got a PAM111 v3 and it was fine the first day, but after using it again i found that if i were to set the time, if i wound back, this would also halt the seconds or if i wound back fast enough, even wind back the seconds. I know this isn't meant to happen in 6497 movements, as you can't hack it so there is obviously something wrong with my watch. Is this an easy fix or can i try and send it back to the dealer as it's only a couple of days old?

This happens on my Fiddy to some extent, also if you check out the video on Puretime website for the Fiddy, it does the same thing when he pulls the crown out to show the time set function. i don't think it's anything to worry about.

it's actually stopped doing it now.. this is the only 6497 i've had that's done this, so i assumed it was out of the norm. was just wondering how it would've happened, i didn't do anything to make it happen so i can't really stop it from it from happening again.
