Hi knowledgeable Paneristis! I have a question about a PAM286 (see attached pics)

I got this in a trade some millenia back and I thought it was really cool. But I realise I don't know much information about it.

There's an A7750 in it and the chronograph function works but the flyback function does not. In fact, the flyback hand is just glued stuck to the main chrono hand and they move together when the chrono is activated.

I showed it to some friends and they asked what factory it's from.

The closest hint I found was from here:

Might anyone be able to identify the factory? How much would this watch be worth? Thanks!

Okay so observations. First off, it's a 332 replica not a 286. The 286 is not PVD. This is not an h factory 332. The h factory replicas had the blue chronograph second hand overlaping the silver fly back hand so they both could be reset to zero. The case back is incorrect as it's engraved with daylight and it should be the yacht challenge. The bezel is also inaccurate for a 332 as it should be brushed PVD not polished. I have attached a couple pictures of my 332. We would call this a no-name factory and it would be considered a lower tier as far as value since the build quality would not be as definite. Considering everything including the condition you're looking at probably the mid $200 range, no more than $300 assuming the movement is healthy and is keeping good time with good power reserve. One other point to remember is the flyback function will not work since the movement does not have that capability so that's a dead pusher only for decoration. This particular model is very rare so I'm pretty sure you can sell it quickly even though it's not the most desirable manufacturer or condition.
