A side by side picture of the Panerai PAM 518 ( PT ) 519 ( RG ) and 520 ( WG ) Chronographs.

For the pleasure of the eyes.

I would favor the platinum, which is eye catching, then the rose gold for its " Cali " dial. 

You? 

Best,

Nicolas

But as time went on I think the 520 would now be my choice. FWIW, I think the 518 is the nicest white dial the brand has ever produced. Pictures saved from my hard drive, and are not mine. ...  

I've seen them recently and was surprised how elegant and sophisticated they looked

PAM196 Daylight black dial was my first Panerai. Purchased in 2004. But the hands just looked too thin against that busy dial. The chrono hand looked even weirder. My choice would be the 520. The symmetry and the contrast just seem to fit inside the Radio...

Undoubtedly a beautiful movement that OP XXV Are you considering one of the 3 ? IMO I think it is small caliber for this mastodonte case and dial. I like it more when a movement is made for a given case. And, I heard that the length of seconds hand is too...
