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?

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.
