Arrived! 4 Digit Pam

Hi all,

Just thought I would share some snaps of what the mail man delivered today. Literally couldn't wait to get home so I left work to go an grab it

Introducing my new PAM 1312









Loving it so far, but unsure if it suits my 6.5" wrist? I know it's Panerai and this what they are all about but still not 100% sold on the size. Thoughts?

Cheers,
Paul

Looks great on you, many congrats

When you take a pic like that from 2cm away, the watch always looks ten times bigger than it is. Have someone take another shot of the watch on you from about two metres away and that's how it really looks.

One very long-standing member here wears a 47mm 372 on 6.5" wrists, so don't sweat it. You're loving it and that's all that matters

Nice pick up! Plenty guys 6.5 wear 44mm. As you know went 1392, I'm still enjoying mine. I didn't love the huge pin Buckle so I ordered the smaller one from 392.

Thanks guys!

Was a little hesitant as I had just taken off an 116234 and obviously the size difference is immense.

After putting the Blue Ted Su strap on and wearing it for a bit I truly do love it. Great to have a 1950's case on again.

As for the debit card, that is just the fuel card for my company car. Thanks for the heads up though as I didn't even notice it... Too busy staring at the Pam

AP1 - Agree with you on the buckle size. Don't mind it, but not crazy for it. Anyway plenty of Ted Su straps to buy now along with something from Aaron at Combat Straps.

Cant wait to give it some wrist time this weekend along with some more snaps hopefully

Dirty dial and that color blue used on the second hand are perfect

Beautiful!!! Is that dial black? Is there a significant weight difference between this and the 312? Thanks :)

Yes dial is black. I tried on a 312 at my AD about two months ago when I first inquired on this piece. Could be wrong but I would say there is a significant weight difference.

First thing I noticed when I pulled the 1312 from the box was how light it is considering its size. I'm happy to put in on the scales (head only) if someone with a 312 wants to weigh theirs.
