Just saw a video commentary in Chinese which claims it has a thickness of 16mm with a super clone p.9010 movement. Great news, this means VSF may release the newer PAMs with the p.9010.

That's not a P.9010, that's a P.9000. I guess it was a choice between using a movement which only looks like the gen but no gen functions or a movement that does not look like the gen but has gen functions and it seems they chose the latter option as this is a closed caseback.

Ok, so it's cool to see a P9000 decorated as a P9010 and with gen function like you said

It is not decorated as a P.9010. Changing P.9000 to P.9010 with everything visually being the same as a P.9000 is not "decoration". The A7750 used in the PAM01XXX series is a decorated movement as the appearance of the A7750 was changed with the addition of plates to the base movement. Nice to have the gen function sure, but the thickness seems to be incorrect (based on the TD link not on the actual measurement), which is a shame, since the reps using the A7750 decorated P.9010 were thinner than their P.9000 counterparts, I.E. PAM1389 vs PAM389, PAM1312 vs PAM312, etc.

I know this probably isn't the place for the question but I ask before on a Panerai board, in the Rolex Forum in the Panerai forum, several other places it never really got an answer.

How does Panerai's numbering/model system work? Is there a method to the madness or do they really just randomly give it a pamxxxxx number?

Here is a fair list of pam watches;
http://paneraisource.com/models/all.html

as you can see, they develop a row with (almost) continuous numbering referring to any kind of case, number, movement, etc.
My quess is that they just keep their "logistics" plain and use them to name models that they keep in groups according to their collections or year of production.

Only a guess but i'm sure that they would create a lot of mess if they where trying to use for example; production / case / movement / collection.
Fewer and easy to collaborate - remember digits, easier production with fewer mistakes...

Serial numbers are more eligible to carry information about the watch without been part of the production and cause troubles with their complexity.

Does the date go backwards too? No one ever runs the date back in these rep vids. Only forward like the movement is going to to explode if taken back or something.

The date goes backward on these superclone P.9000 movements. No one ever runs the date back in rep videos for sales because even gen videos don't show it.
