Hey guys

Never thought I'd add a Panerai to the collection, but the 42mm 1940 (PAM512) is really growing on me. Thin, sandwiched, and transitional lugs with holes are all a big plus.

Just not too keen on the faux tritium LL and patina, but I think the pros outweigh the cons. This may just be my first "fun" watch in a long time!

List is $7800. Was this reference excluded from Feb's 5% price cut?
AD offered 20% + tax on a Q serial. Do you think I should take the plunge or could better AD deals be had?

Seems like a crazy good discount, but I don't know the market for the 512.

As for the watch itself, it's almost perfect, but the fauxtina completely throws me off. :-(

Wow, all upvotes. Pulled the trigger, will post unboxing soon!

Third watch this year...

At the AD, peeling off the wrapper cuz it's mine!

Next to my coworker's 510, bought at the same time:

Very nice! I'm still contemplating one myself. 20% seems really good...
