First Panerai Purchase. PAM 676 and 510

Hey everyone,

Just purchased my first Pam , the Due 676 42mm.





Sad to say I will be returning it because of the small size. I tried to love the slim case, but it’s just too small. My wrist is 6.75 inches but I am 6 foot 3.

I LOVE slim cases, and the bulkiness has kept me from purchasing one in the past. I’m looking at a Pam 510 and love it, as it’s bigger in diameter but still slim as well as the new 674 Due in 45mm, I just hate that there is no water resistance. I love the 510 because it still has a slim case but is tough and has water resistance. It also has a wonderful, clean, simple dial. I would put on rubber.

Any Pam 510 owners out there? Or any advice from experienced collectors could chime in and give some advice?

Thanks so much!!
-Mckinley

Sounds like the switch to the 510 is the right move for you.

The 510 was my first Panerai. Love the simple no date dial and the black leather strap is extremely comfortable. It wears great. You’ll love it.
