I've been on the fence on this one for a while and I need help from owners/past owners. I own PAM 510, which is almost... almost the exact same as PAM 422 except, and this lately started mattering to me: the golden hands! Yes. Pretty huge detail, right? Well, large enough for me to spend countless hours on chrono24. Now, I did the research and went to checked it out at an AD. First impression was bad, it felt huge, didn't like the strap color, and the movement felt like a huge piece of unfinished metal... nothing I'd spend 11k on. Recently, I had a chance to try on the new PAM 1731, and the size felt perfect, as its exact same as my 44mm 510, but I was not convinced of the tobacco dial colour, and I'll not mention the crappy movement finishing... To previous 422 owners, did the size bother you? Did you ended up downscaling to 44mm? To current owners - did you think about changing it to something smaller, and why? Thanks!
