On the wrist however it is a totally different ball game. The PAM shows much much larger on the wrist than the 1815. Probably due to the case shape and most likely the dial with the big numbers on it. Obviously the styles are incomparable. The black dialed 1815 goes with about anything and that is something you really cannot say the PAM 574 does. Although a big part in is also debit to the green strap. I'm sure when I will place a dark brown alligator strap on the Panerai it will town down so much you will almost be able to call it a dressy.
But the configuration of the 574 is fun as it is now. Fresh and spring/summery like. Maybe a nice bright orange strap would work too. Especially coming Wednesday. This particular color green doesn't make it an allround style, but as I said; fun for the summer months.
The P.1000 movement. Nothing special, as we all know, finish wise. 3-days power reserve which is good! It does have a quirky 'complication' (if you can call that a complication??). If you pull the crown out to set the time the second hand resets immediately to 0 and the balance wheel stops. This way you can synchronise the time exactly on the second. There is only one small issue. This Panerai does not have a minute track. So why on earth would you need a function like that in a watch like this?? I do like it because its a neat feature. But it just doesn't make any sense in a watch with a dial like this.
A modest Panerai....
Is there such a thing? Apparantly there is. Just look at the dimensions of the PAM 574 next to the 40 mm ALS 1815. Who would have guessed?

Anyway: fun watch. Great dimensions (only 10 mm thick!), fits under a shirt cuff easily. So I think this Panerai makes a good chance of lasting a much longer time with me than my long gone PAM 359 and PAM 379. We will see.
I find the strap to be part of the appeal :)
The kermit green makes it hard to be neutral on this one. And the more modest size makes it more universal in terms of wrists it will fit, even if the strap makes it less so otherwise 
I don't think it is
the 1000 is the max. numbers they will put out in 1 year.

Panerai has a millesime production, beside the limited editions.
It can be a millsesime of 500, 1000, 1200, 1500, 2000 and so on... per year.

Superb comparison
And indeed, they are almost the same size but then again the Panerai looks so much bigger on the wrist, with a nice presence. I'm glad to see this post on your PAM574, I was hesitating on this model but you wear it beautifully and indeed ideal for the summer. Congrats !!! Great choice. PS : the ALS is off course awesome
tnx
It's a fun watch with this kind of strap, and having the possibility to turn it around in a dressy kind of watch is nice. The dimensions of the case make it an all rounder.
sizing
I'm also surprised the PAM wears so much larger than the ALS given the 2mm or 5% diameter difference. The small PAM still wears like a big watch, especially for asian wrists.
Guess
it really has to to with the dial design. Those big numbers also make it look much larger than it actually is.
Looks 'big' but wears small. When I wear it it never feels like a Panerai. But as a normal watch (if you get my drift).

Actually
Mine seems to be pretty accurate. But I haven't been paying close attention.
well
real world seems to be -10 seconds or worse especially if i wear it, although it seems to run better on the timing machine (-4). my rolex seems to run about +2 everyday always
Until now I'm just happy not seeing any loose screws behind the case back glass :-)
But I've only got it for 2 weeks so let's wait and see.....
(My expectations aren't high)

Well....
when I bought my PAM359 (new from AD) there was a loose screw lying in the balance wheel after a few weeks of ownership.
When I bought my PAM379 (new from grey dealer) there was a loose screw behind the glass after 2 days....
So to answer your question: I kinda do ;-)

No need to check; if they don't run
It's obvious!
Guessing/hoping I had really really bad luck. That's why I went for the third. 3 times a charm right?
