Here's how my wrist look like with Mk.18.
Looks perfect to me. But I maybe I know the problem. If you always wear other watches with different sizes for a few days, you eventually get used to the sizes. For example, I once had my small 39mm Tudor BB 58 with me on a business trip lasting several days and as soon as I was back home, my Pams suddenly seemed "huge". Conversely, the 40mm Daytona seems like a children's watch when I have worn 44mm Pams for a week. It's a matter of habit. But as many other members here have said: All Pam models (except the Luminor Due) are desgined to be relatively large and only work in this size. It is also the overall impression that is important. This includes not only the size, but also the thickness. I once had a 42mm Submersible, but it was just as thick as the larger 47mm version. This 42mm therefore looked clunky and bulky, while the 47mm version looks harmonious. So my tip is that if you want to get into the Pam world, pay less attention to the size and more to the thickness. For example, the VSF 312 is almost 3mm thicker than the VSF 1312, which would be such a candidate for entry. But to get back on topic: With the inexpensive watches that you get on Aliexpress or DHGate, such measurements are more of a gamble, since the ads rarely contain reliable data.
