Liked this one when I saw pictures from SIHH and Jason does a super nice write up here:

Nice watch, and on its own it's pretty cool-42mm, thin, no CG make it a nice dressy Rad. I just don't get the fact that OP is marketing this as a historical piece though--42mm and the sub seconds just don't jive with the "Radiomir 1940"/6154 small Egiziano DNA OP is trying to sell us on.

[dukerules]

Here's the inspiration BTW. So much cooler.


Eventually, OP will do a full on remake, hopefully as a 47mm base with a brown dial, in an SS case. It will probably be an SE and cost $15K though.

I like the looks of the 512 a lot, and hopefully I'll find one to oggle in stores soon. I see it as a mini-372, which is what so many here have been begging for.

Nice work, guys.

I'm really liking that 512. 42mm, sandwich and vintage lume.

I bet this one would be stellar on a leather NATO......

Good read guys. So is a 42mm PAM acceptable? I get the drift that the 40mm PAM 50 isn't even though I dig it but have never seen on in person. I like the 512s dimensions but much prefer the modern case.

I am loving that one.

[matt.wu]

I like it. I think I'd get bored with it super quick though.

I really like this one. Always liked the look of the Pam's but never liked the size of either the 40 or 44 on my wrist.

I like it. At that price it should do well as all of the guys that sold their 372's will buy it.

[jswing]

Ugh, this one is trying to drag me back into the PAM madness! I really like it, as much as I'm trying not to.

[CGSshorty]

I like it. At that price it should do well as all of the guys that sold their 372's will buy it.

You would hope that they recognize that this is the watch they need.

[Sidheguitarist]

U guys are my heroes.

Dig that new Radiomir.

[jimyritz]

I dig it....What is it about 8K?
