Nice write up Chris! You are right, the movement does look very well built/finished. But like you said, the one thing I do not like about all "in-house" Chinese movements is that replacement parts are not available. Thats the main reason I do not like working on the superclone movements or any sec@12's.

Have you had a chance to compare the gear train to an actual 7750? They do look the same.

Fantastic job! Thank you so much for doing this. Like Strodda very keen to hear if any parts are interchangable.

I miss it too measures the wheels, but I guess the wheels from the clone are bigger than the stock 7750 wheels.

The only parts who are identical are stem, keyless gears, date mechanism, cannon pinion, hour and minute wheel and the main spring barrel.

But this is not confirmed. Next time I disassemble one of these clones I will measure the gears.

Thank you @chris3007 for that very detailed movement breakdown. Nice to see that it is indeed a new movement, structurally speaking. It is too bad about the GMT function and the rest of the P.9000/1 specific functions not being duplicated but we can take wins like this and move forward. Claims by some dealers that the P.9000 (and by extension this P.9001) movement have been tested for a year does somewhat calm concerns over reliability but claims are exactly that, just claims. We'll see how this movement fares down the road. Hopefully, the more this movement is used, parts or the whole movement are going to be available for repairs.

I am excited on the possibilities being opened by this movement in the near future. PAM312 (now coming out), PAM359 (also coming out), PAM351 and the rest of that family, PAM388, PAM382, PAM507 (again with the correct case, none of that date-change button crap) and the rest of the display caseback P.9000 models potentially should be a cinch for super-rep status, low-level minimum with the new movement installed.

Chris this is great as always. I for one was really surprised to see just how clean the movement was. Usually when i see pics of a movement being torn down, its crazy how much dirt and grime there is. Looks like these guys did a nice job of putting this together. Lets see what they come out with next :)

@chris3007,

where can I buy this awesome ceramic bracelet? ...and how much does it roughly cost?

Thanks guys for the kind words.

BTW: the KW ceramic bracelet fits perfect with the VSF441.
I guess the case is from the same supplier

I own a KW 438 from chazingtime.co
The ceramic bracelet is from this watch.
But I guess you can ask the TD if he can get the bracelet only.

I asked a watch smith and he said no. We need to wait till the factory produces a better P.9001 movement.

Thank you Chris for the review

I didn't get what is wrong with the GMT
