Any good 40-42mm PAMs?

[boombong]

Seems like the best PAMs are 44mm or larger but for small wrists like mine, I was hoping to find a smaller size! Any tips?

Quite a few around in 42mm nowadays
Look at any TD website

If we talk about the previously released models, then there were wonderful pam048 and pam049 in a 40mm case. However, they will have to look for m2m.

I have the 42mm PAM 904 Due and love it. It wears much smaller than my 44mm and it also wears much thinner on the wrist so it actually slides under my sleeve which my other PAMs definitely do not. If you can wear a 42mm watch and like the look I think you'd be really happy with a 42mm Due.

What do you like? You want a submersible or luminor due?

And just as if you were searching for a gen, ask yourself what you want. What do you want?

Luminor or sub?
Complications? Date, seconds, gmt?
Color? Black dial, blue sunburst, anthricite?

There are a lot of good options.
904, 927, 959, 960, 683 and so on

I think Luminors are suffering from the thickness issue right? They're very slim and reps can't match it at all?

I just PMed someone asking about this. Looking for a bronze submersible. Did any factory make this in 42MM?

 

[KOT1917]

There are currently no bronze submersible 42mm.

Yes. They're about 2-3mm thicker. The xf 42mm that are discontinued were closer to the thickness. I wish they remade those, been on the lookout for any m2m sales.

I have a 904, it's great though regardless of the thickness. It helps that the strap size allows for thinner straps so it's not too bad on the wrist. Compared to my old 111, it is drastically smaller

Thank you everyone for your replies. I ended up going with the XF PAM 111 from hont but after seeing it in-hand, I wish i got the 904 (42mm) with the extra thickness. Guess I’ll be posting the 111 for sale lol.

 

[KOT1917]

Think twice. The XF PAM111 is no longer available from the TD, as is the PAM904. There is every chance to sell one, and it will take a long time to buy a second m2m.

I have the 111 (XF) and I find it good. The smaller models are nice but I find them a bit outside the Panerai spirit.
For me the most suitable are the 44-45. I have a Luminor, I'm looking for a Radiomir.
Otherwise level finish the XF is very very successful!
