Due to a motorcycle accident I can only wear watches comfortably on the right wrist. What do you think will look better?

PAM219 will look good with the CG pointing towards the wrist, base has a clean, pure , simple appeal.

PAM111N will wear more comfortable with the crown positioned away. I really like the seconds & vintage hands...243 looks fine to me as do all my other watches on the right.

I'm fifty fifty right now & need your advice! Thank you...Noob 026 isn't out yet so thats not an option now

Originally 'destro' were made to be worn on the right wrist. Destro is right in Italian.

Don't forget that those watch are manual wound and if you put the crown away from your hand, you'll have to take the watch off to wind it, as opposed to easily wind it with your left hand while the watch is still sitting on your right wrist with a 'destro' model.

how about making it 33% and consider a pam390 i think they are stunning.. or if you are beefy enough a 217 (destro) ;) many choises.. buit i do agree with you these vintage-models are very nice.. and regarding crownguard digging in to your hand i never had that problem with my 156 (only pam i own) unless maybe doing push-ups with it on (flex your wrist 90degrees) so i wouldnt worry about that too much..

but on the other hand you only need to wind these watches in the morning anyhow so winding while wearing is not really a problem either..

hope that was confusing enough ;)

IMO go to the watch you want or like it more
People are wearing regular and destro in two wrists without distinction.
You will usually adjust or wind the watch just one time per day in the morning before wearing it. So, no problem

I have been thinking about 217 for quite some time, I enjoyed 328 but thought proportionately it was too tall for a 44mm. 219 case looks balanced to me as well as 217 @ 47mm.

Here is my 6.75" barely pulling off a Zilla.

I dress super casual nearly all the time & I'm not sure how much wrist time the 217 would get. It's hard to decide when every choice is good. I can see why PAM collections get so big.

That will depend on the strap type you choose.
You can change the look of all Panerai with the strap.

it depends on how u like the CG sticking out..like how u'd wear a 111 on your left hand.. i'm predominantly a rightie when wearing my watches.. had the 219 in the past&like how it felt different from the other non-destros..

to each his own, i'd say.. turn a pam around&try wearing it with e CG sticking out, just to get a feel of it&then decide :)

cheers!
