Anyone here own a 40mm PAM?? If so, which one? Most of the talk here is directed towards the 44/47mm Panerai.

thanks!!

do a search, you'll find several threads talking about 40mm panerais for women. I've posted several times about it too - quickly and shortly, here's the jist of it:

-girl over at timezone.com has 5 inch wrists wearing 40mm panny, LOOKS great. she's got pink and blue and red straps, looks cute.
-Heidi Klum wear's a 40mm

-i wear a 40mm :)
-i've seen whitedial 40mm pannies on a blue strap, GREAT look for a ladies pannie.

do the search! sorry for my lazyness :(

Definitely PAM49. No other choice since this is the best. Put on the gen alligator strap and that is it!!!
Warning: please prepare lots of strap since it will become addicted of strap change later on.

Thanks Crick. I'm a member of at least 10 different forums. If anyone should know to try the search function first, it's me :D

Do you know how I might find the Timezone link that you mentioned. I spent 15 minutes searching through that forum and I couldn't find the thread. Now that is one useless search function.

I did a search and I did see the post you linked!! I just might need to buy my wife a GEN 40mm PAM, so she doesn't blow my cover LOL!!

Why the white face?
I ordered for my wife a PAM048 (should come next week), wrist size is 5.9

PAnerai needs to have a black face.....:D :D

Something about the white face matches better with the "girly" pink/blue/green/etc. colored straps. Of course, black and honey tan 'gator straps look great with the white dial, too.

Black dial with pink strap might look a little funny... :wink:

Wife liked the pvd, and rules for watch size don't really apply to women like they do men (many women are used to wearing large bracelets):

Some unsolicited advice: Let her try out some 44mm instead and see if she likes it.
I have a feeling she will. :)

Good luck.

Thanks again. My bad 2x now....

I do think the multicolored straps look better with the white face.

Same situation

[quoteMy wife is tiny. 5' tall and 100lbs. A ladies Rolex looks large on her!![/quote]

Hey, we have the same taste. :) My partner is 5' tall too, and weighs a little under 100lbs.
But even as I type, my partner is wearing my 111 on her puny wrist, and she likes it. I kid
you not. 8)

I would say to get her a 47mm. My wife loves to wear big watches loose. She has take over some of my watches and hopes she does not like my Orange PO that is on its way.

Yeah 44mm might be too much to pull off, my wifes 5'5 130.
