Gazzla 23 Posted August 31, 2015 Hey Gang Recently received from Tim - Watchfinder - a PAM Radiomir 512. Usual exemplary service from Tim and Dan, great QC and shipped super fast. I bought this out of curiosity, mainly because of the 42mm case size. I've never had a 42mm PAM in the flesh and wanted to see how this measured up on the wrist. Turns out it's a tad small for me, but it's a beautiful watch. Decent rep strap, excellent polished case and exhibition caseback, running on a handwind movement. Crown operates solidly and keeps time to 4 secs a day. Super sandwich dial with pale yellow markers. Nuclear lume. Overall build quality is fantastic. Don't hesitate to dip your toe into the 512 water. If you've always wanted a PAM, but thought you couldn't pull it off because of the size, then this may be for you. Drivel over, pics!

BenjaminButton 149 Posted August 31, 2015 Superb photos. Been eyeing up the 512 because I'm not sure I could pull off 47mm. Tricky as I'm loving my 177 so could 42 be as you say a tad small. Regardless great shots and she looks beautiful Gaz. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When you think that just about all rep straps were piss poor and more often than not let things down it's nice to see they are finally paying attention to them more now . Wouldn't mind it. Any chance of a wristy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pseudonym 0 Posted October 19, 2017 Bit of a bump from the dark ages, but I have fancied one of these for such a long time as an alternative dress watch. Given my fat wrists, It may look a tad out of place- only one thing to do is to try one on.To WTB Batman! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
