Question/Help Pam514

Need to get my fellow forum members thoughts on the Pam514.

I love the look of the watch and it fits my wrist nicely.

Just wanted to know other peoples thoughts on this watch...

Are their other models I should considere at this price point that would be a better choice?

I currently have a Pam380 and love it but would like a in house movement.

514 is a really solid choice. hammer from p.com (assuming you know who he is) fairly recently termed it the "best bang for your buck" PAM.

as for other options, as you know, there are tons of options. first decide which case you want (radiomir, 1940s radiomir, 1950s luminor, bettarini luminor, 372-style luminor) and go from there.

I keep coming back to the Radiomir style and really love the 1940's case, that is what I want to keep to.

Thanks for the input :)

in that case, you could also look at the 512, which will be smaller (42mm), thinner and have the 12/3/9 on the dial (in other words, no date).

or the 572, which is a new release and pretty sweet at 45mm and a micro-rotor automatic movement, but, it is priced a bit more than either the 514 or 512.

last, but, not least, of the SS 1940s radiomirs is the new 587, which will be priced a bit over the 514 and 512, too, and will be very, very hard to get.

as the 514 is a bit thinner, it will wear smaller than the 47mm it is. Its all subjective, as long as you like it.
I have a 190 and I have a 6.5" wrist. However, often I do find it a bit big.
good luck in your decision
