Anyone experience shrinkage....

[YankeeFan]

Greetings guys. After wearing a 44mm Panerai for any length of time, all other watches just seem minuscule to me. Almost like all other watches other than Pannys look like they are womens watches, even other brands that are close to their size. And it's not like I have large manly wrists, it just seems like everything looks puny after the Panny. :shock:

Any one else have a problem with shrinkage? :wink:

In a word.......YES

arrrr!!! yah beat me to it.

anyways, yeah. i used to wear 30mm-32 mm watches and thought 35 was my limit. now looking back after wearing 42's all the time, it just feels and looks small. Even the g/f who thought 42 was big got used to it and now see's anything under 35 to look rinky dinky on my wrist.

Yep, absolutely!! I won't buy anything less than 44mm, period.

People notice 44mm and bigger watches.... enough said
Now I must go order my next 47mm Pam :!:

I know what you mean. I have a gen Tag 2000 exclusive chrono that is 38mm that I ended up giving to my wife because it just felt tiny since I got my first PAM. I have gen link chrono that I still wear occasionally but it still feels small @ 42mm.

I have to agree, once you put one of these on nothing less will do. I can say before I found this site I thought the sub mariner was big. Now I never even wear it. I have been bitten by the pam bug, if you get one I don't think you would be able to stop at least not with my addictive personality. But dam it they are so cool.

The main reason that so many people fall in love with them quickly and go broke. They are awesome watches, that are very adaptable, and there are so many accessory choice for them.

I have to try a fiddy...hard to imagine getting even BIGGER than the 44mm Pannys. :shock:

HBB is 45MM if I'm not wrong - looks much larger than my PAMs

Set the Fiddy down, and back away slowly....






If you even try on any 1950 cased Panny, you will not escape.
I am sorting through my collection now, and anything under 41mm goes to the wife or out the door - Rollies included.
Too small.
