PAM512 - Out after a year
Sergio kind of encouraged me to start wearing this one. Truth is I liked it when it was launched, got it almost exactly a year ago when visiting Watches & Wonders. After that, it stayed in the bank for a long time, mainly because of a lot of comments that it was too small for a Panerai. Of course, my wrist is small, and this one fits perfectly, but here in Malaysia and even neighboring Singapore, it's common sight to see large watches on small wrists, so my subconscious kept it in storage.
I have to say a big thank you to you, Sergio!
Now that it's out, I'm enjoying it and am left wondering why I didn't listen to the little voices in my head earlier. Hard watch to photograph due to the lack of AR on the crystal, and I didn't have time to get the "light dome", but sharing some pictures here. Intending to enjoy this for the next two weeks at least.

Thanks Nico.
Sometimes it takes the convincing of fellow purists to cement that notion. That\'s what makes this community my favorite one.
You weren't jocking about having a small wrist.
You give the 512 the chance to...shine. Per se, dimensions aside, the 512 IS a rather handsome model. There, now I've said it...hahahaha

I've got a 7.5 inch wrist and absolutely enjoy wearing my 512. I also wear 44m Luminors and 45 Rads. It's a straight beautiful watch that dresses down with a casual strap and dresses up on the black croc. Don't fear the non-purists!
Well said!
And welcome here. A great community made up of crazy friends who makes life so much more fun!
Crazy!
Only crazy to those who think they're sane! I've been on other forums but I appreciate the new layout. Going to take a look at the new JLC MUT Moon in black tomorrow.
Loupe
Yes, they have a loupe. I'm familiar with the silver dial but looking forward to seeing the new black one and the MC in black. I admit to desiring the Duometre Chronograph in white gold with the gorgeous black dial for a while but I think my itch has been...
That's is an amazing watch.
I had the one with the silver dial and loved it a lot. Lately though, my ageing eyes struggled with reading the date so it's left for another home where it is more appreciated. A lovely watch with a very nice character and charm. The black is an additiona...
Really appreciate this
Earlier this year I was at the Panerai boutique in Singapore trying out 42 mm models. When the salesperson saw that I was a little hesitant to try out the larger options because of my small wrist, he quipped, "with Panerai, you either go big or you go hom...
It's a shame that the sales people are narrow minded
Tastes differ and wrists differ, and the sooner that is realized, the better it will be for them. It is precisely this sort of comments and marketing propaganda that "force" ideals on people which I think will be where a brand stumbles.
