Hi guys,

Recently bought a replica panerai from China. But brought home only to realize movement suck. The power reserve is incredibly low. What can I do about this? I was initially thinking of swapping a new movement

Do advice

Im not too sure what the movement is? Maybe you can tell me what is the cause for this problem?

It could be a number of things. Depends on the movement. Do you have a picture of the movement or the watch?

Looks like one of the 23j movements used in lower end pam reps. Do you have a shot of the front?

I don't think however, that you'll be able to get a replacement movement for it.

Hi trent
It seems a low grade replica of PAM 320 GMT (I see the hands are silvered isn'it?. In case they are golden it would be a 351) fitted with a cheap Asian Aut. movement. Wrong date wheel and very inaccurate rotor movement and decoration.
You should try a watchsmith in case you have a lot of luck and it has a "simple solution"
Any change of big repair I think is no worth
Just my opinion

It's my opinion that the repair cost will cost what ymthat war probably cost. just wear it and put the funds towards a new watch

Can't agree more !
In fact , most of the rep market in China won't offer the good reps , but pricy . It's not necessary to fix it , and keep the funds for a better reps . The new PAM reps is really with high quality and worth every penny , even better than some basic gen watches to me .
Fell free to ask here , lots people will help you !

I was thinking of purchasing a rep from pureco mainly this 2 watches

http://puretime.co/product/pam005-n-noob-best-edition-on-brown-calf-strap/?sent=yes#product-request

http://puretime.co/product/pam111-m-noob-best-edition-on-brown-calf-leather-strap-swiss-eta6497/

There is a huge price difference due to the different swiss and Asian eta movement? Is the different movement really worth the extra $200USD?

In any case thanks for every one's help but is there any modification I can do to the watch to increase the power reserve then?

Hi trent
The PAM 005 is OK it is the best option at this moment
For PAM 111 you have better the PAM 111 N from Noob. See the PAM GUIDE.
"Reference PAM REVIEW-GUIDE" - Replica Search, Identification, Evaluation & Selection
No "Swiss" is no worth, There are some threads about that.
