New to me . . this little thing
Owner of many many Pams since early 2000s . . but lost the excitement with the brand (like many others have unfortunately).
Also, decided that 47mm was not for me anymore and sold my last Pam 372 a year or so ago. Despite this I would always say Panerai is my favorite watch brand and the 372 was possibly my favorite watch I've owned. I'm not financially fortunate enough to keep lots of watches in a safe deposit, never to be worn, so it had to go. Anyway, moving on... I've always quite fancied the 512 since it came out. When I got the opportunity to have one at the right price I grabbed it. They are quite rare in the UK for some reason. Very few come up for sale. Enjoying wearing this one. So 'svelte', hardly know you have it on but still has enough Panerai presence. Loving the manual wind . . and then there's being back in the strap changing game ! |

Nigel,
Congratulations on a beautiful time piece. As is stated in my first post, I recently bought a 512 as well and upon arrival it exceeded my expectations. The case is quite complex with multiple compound curves and exhibition caseback and is quite a contrast to some of my other timepieces. Totally agree about the wearing comfort and size... perfect in my mind. I’m pleased to say it just might be my favorite timepiece in my collection! Wear it in good health! |
