Thank you old_man! unk:
Once again you've proven your attention for details. Impressive! Its a V40 D3 R-design. Not sure if you have that model in north america. Will be replacing the V40 with the new V60 D4 AWD Cross Country in feb/march. Wife drives a V60 T4 R-design.
Your XC60 is a stunner and a delight to drive.. now thats a proper car! Congrats!


Back on topic.. A few quick notes on the new PAM574.
As usual, the small imperfections one can often spot on hi-res QC's can not be seen with the naked eye. It really looks great. The gap between case and crown is not an issue.
The 574 is my first rep Radiomir and also my first hand wound pam. When pulling out the crown I feel like I have to apply an unsettling amount of force to get it in the end position. Guess its a matter of experience as well.
Winding it is easy and I can easily feel when its fully wound.
The rep croc strap is what it is... it looks good and dressy, but its kinda stiff and needs to be worn in. Hardly havent worn it becaue Im still waiting for the deployant buckle to arrive.
Did I say it looks really great?

Wow you must really love Volvo - the V series have gotten quite nicer over the years and R-Design just makes it even better!

Back to watches - what really stood out to me is how defined the crown looks like, and I'm really surprised how good the strap looks, especially the padding, looks nice and full!

Sure.. I'll try my best to add various wristshots. In the meantime here's a few crappy mobile shots.

How are you liking it sir? I assume it is the same case as the 512 which is slightly thicker than gen? I was very excited to see the 574 introduced but didn't realize it would be repped so quickly.

Sorry for the late reply.
I'm liking it alot. Sleek design and slightly smaller with its 42mm case. A really nice dress pam!
Yes, most likely the same case as the 512. Not sure about the thickness though. It havent given me a reason to check it. PT says its 13,5mm.
[MENTION=101250]Destroyertan[/MENTION] Nope, I'm sure it wouldnt be considered a super rep, especially when comparing it to other super reps. CP being the obvious flaw for the 574. But at least it should be a first class rep. IMO its a better rep then the 512, since the movement (placement of balancewheel) of the 512-rep is poor.

wow...great pics! definitely better than a 512!
thanks for the info!

I think I will probably have to get one since I loved the Gen 512 I tried on at the Aspen Boutique. They may have corrected the thickness since the Gen is very thin. Which TD did you buy from?

CP is the cannon pinion

That silver part should be super flat and polished

If you don't mind me asking, did you ever get a deployment clasp?
If so, could you post pics, price, and from where you purchased.
I just bought a kw111 on sale from sead.
I have a feeling I will be getting 42mm model that you have as well. I don't have the 111 here yet, and I never wear watches on leather unless using a deployment. I really need to find one that will work that is not crap.

Any help for a Pam newb would be greatly appreciated.

Yes, I did! Here you go mate.
PAM574 on deployant buckle.

Daylight lume.

Purchased the deployant on Aliexpress. Real cheapo for $19,99!
That perticular store is no longer available on Ali. But you should be able to find another.

Not sure if this is allowed but I think the PAM575 is basically the same as the PAM574 and I just got my QC pics so wanted some advice. Also, didn't see any thread for the PAM575 so posted on here. Please delete if not allowed.

I see a blemish on the top left of the front....not sure if it can be wiped off or if the paint has come off. Any ideas?
