The Panerai Source Forums

hi everyone,

i just purchased my very first PAM 312 and had a quick question to everyone...i noticed that in real life the dial isn't as black as it can be and when i compare it to all the online photos it seems that the online photos show the dial to be pitch black but looking at my 312 it looks almost a bit charcoal...is this normal and i'm worrying too much or is there something wrong with my watch?


Also, the watch is supposed to have anti-reflection but shouldn't that mean it gets a blueish/greenish tinge when it's doing that. Mine doesn't seem to have that blueish/greenish tinge??

Thanks for your help and saving my sanity

I have included photos of the watch

None of my Pams have ever had a blue-ish tinge to them even though they are supposed to be AR coated.

As for the dial color, it is a matte black dial, so the matte finish kind of makes it look less black, that's all.

looks pretty normal to me, enjoy

Looks normal, but when you get the first ding/scratch on it, all your first time "parenting" concerns & angst will go. And the answer to getting rid of SMALL scratches, cape cod cloth! Beware though, that the removal of small scratches means taking off a bit off the case material...........

Please can you make a picture from the back as well ?

And don't take it personal, but the watch is a bit too big (large) for you

Cheers,
Alex

Its the perfect size! If he goes 40mm he will be called girly.

I thought the watch forums were supposed to be a bit nicer to the newbies than this. The guy just spent $7,000 or so on a watch and you're telling him that the watch is too big for him? I guess saying "don't take it personal", makes it fine?

If he likes his watch I don't think it should matter what Alex or anyone else thinks cuz his opinion is irrelevant.

Exactly ! And as long as he likes his watch, everything is fine.
It has nothing to do with being nice or rude, because I just gave my feedback what I think about the size, that's all.
It's a board for Panerai watches, right ? So own opinions are welcome otherwise we would have nothing to discuss and it doesn't make sense to say all the time "great, super, wonderful", otherwise it would get a bit boring here.
Not everything is perfect, so why not just saying it.....

Otherwise, nice watch !

Cheers,
Alex

Please see my answer above !
And should I just give positive feedback because he spent 7000 $ for a watch ????? That doesn't make sense.
Cheers,
Alex
