Flip Milgauss White dial for PAM 512?
 
Hi folks,

Tried on a PAM 512 today and really liked the plain sandwich dial with the slim profile and faux patina.

Before I decide to buy, I had a few questions:

1. Does it look too big on my wrists? I have skinny 6" wrists.
2. What discount to expect from a US AD for a 512?
3. Should I flip the Milgauss for it?

Thanks!

512 is my favorite PAM, and it looks great on you. Not too big.

Thanks guys!

Does Milgauss (V serial) + $1.7k sound like a decent offer from my AD for a brand new Pam 512 + new strap?

Looks fine! How about 20% off would be nice?

Ravager135 18 April 2015 12:57 PM

This is a 50/50 in my book. Whichever you like more.

I say do it awesome Pam :cheers:

Yes, it looks too big. Keep the Rolex.

Fleetlord 18 April 2015 01:26 PM

Rolex.

Watch looks great on you. I happen to really like the white Milgauss, but, if this is the way to get the 512, go for it. The deal seems fine, too. :cheers:

Thanks guys! Will talk to the AD tomorrow AM.

Not sure what you mean? Are you saying 20% discount is normal for a 512 from an AD?

Psmith 18 April 2015 06:39 PM

Looks great :thumbsup:

Most definitively not, IMO. A free extra strap or two, yes.

HL65 18 April 2015 08:21 PM

Go for it!

Thanks! The AD is promising me a new strap too, because the original strap is already a bit worn and doesn't fit my skinny wrists. I'll need a short strap.

I love my white milgauss but I'm wearing it less and less as I prefer lighter watches and the Milgauss feels very top heavy on my wrists.
The fact that my wife has me on a diet doesn't help the situation either. :twit:

X2. It looks perfect on your wrist :cheers:

ck1109 19 April 2015 07:35 AM

Thanks all! The deal is done.

Was able to get it for Milgauss trade + 1k in cash and the AD also ordered me a second OEM strap for free (the current strap was too long). Will post pics shortly.

Now I need to wait for a 22mm strap. You can see the spring bars with the 20mm strap i have on there now. :twit:

tico1028 19 April 2015 02:36 PM

Love it - good job!

Cru Jones 19 April 2015 04:09 PM

Well done on the deal and congrats! Will be even better with the correct strap size. :cheers:
