Hello all,

I currently have a pam111 v3 noob.

I saw some posts about pam372 , I really like this model, because, its more 'soft'. The case of the 111 is more 'robust' while the 372 is more rounder and looks like its less 'thick'. Now the 372 is a 47mm and i have kinda small wrists.

Does any of you know if there is another pam marina model where the case has a bit that more 'sophisticated' shape, but then in a 42 or 44 mm case?

radiomirs are also more like that, but i like the luminor marina kind of shapes with noth too much fuzz like loats of markers etc...


thanks in advance

The cases are near identical. The "softness" you perceive is the curved plexiglass as opposed to the flat saphire of the 111.

The case shape and size your looking for is called a "mini fiddy"

Just punch it in the search box. ;)

The 111 has a 'Bettarini' case. Panerai state that the 372 has a Luminor 1950 case (but it looks more like a Radiomir 1940 case than a conventional 1950 case). The 111 case looks nothing like the 372 case. Have a look around Panerai's web site and you'll see what I mean.

You can search the site for the case shape and size you're after and from there search the TDs to see if there is a rep of the watch you want.

372 looks thinner even though it's 47 mm due to the flat caseback. As Luke Warm correctly stated it's a pretty unique case, very similar to the 1940 case set but not the same.
If you want to stick to 44 mm and want something different than the standard Luminor Bettarini case, check the 44 mm 1950 case PAMs like 312, 351, 359, 531.
