Finally treated myself but left empty handed!

Hello all. So after a long time I finally decided to go today and scratch the itch as they say. I went to an AD this afternoon to view a pre owned PAM384, it’s the watch that has stuck in my mind over the years and when I popped it on I was sold. Haggled a bit, reached agreement and paid for the watch.
Prior to leaving with it on my wrist the salesman wound the watch up (it was fully discharged but had been serviced in 2019) and took it away for a quick clean. Seemed to be taking a while so I looked over and saw a bit of a commotion as the manager type was now tapping the case back and frantically turning the crown. Several minutes later the salesman brings over the watch and says the seconds hand is not working! Lo and behold it’s broken! He gives me the option to have the watch sent off for repair ASAP and ring me as soon as it is ready. Obviously I made them refund me straight away and walked out with a feeling of deflation. It has left a sour taste in my mouth, aesthetically the 384 does it for me, does the manual movement fill me with confidence though? I am unsure. What you guys think, stick with the 384 but buy another online or go automatic and maybe get the new 1661?
I also got to try on the 1616 today which was cool, bit pricey for me and also a tad ill fitting due to my wrist size (6.75 but rather flat), 384 and 44mm luminor were perfect though.
