Should I buy the new 512 ?

Letter,

yup, movement is rotated 180 degrees from they way it should look. It just bothered me a bit that the makers were using blue screws when the gen doesn't have them. It just struck me as odd so I'm happy to get one without the oddly colored screws.

of course being 180 degrees out of phase is pretty odd but that doesn't bother me as much for some reason.

Letter?! Who's that? Ha ha

It bothered me at first but when I realised that anyone looking with any panerai knowledge would realise the movement was upside down it became a lot less significant.

I came to the same conclusion with my no.ob CrPOs

all p999 movement screws should be silver now

I realise that. But if the movement is upside down anyway, is it really a biggy?! I'm not moaning. As I've said, I have a 513 with blue screws and I'm more than happy with it.

Gah, sorry Legger, auto spell and I fight a running battle. Sometimes I win and sometimes I lose. :doh:

No more blue screws. Great.
Did they improve the CP? :whistling:

BTW, I think the movement looks great. A problem is the version with swan neck (P999/1); the micrometric screw is missing, because the shape is so wrong the screw doesn't fit...

@PeterRei

where did you see the missing screw ?
