I don't know actually.Blasphemy
The 38mm gens are not even waterproof. Panerai has completely embraced the crown guard as a cosmetic device.
I would buy those in a second if they are VSF quality and less than 13mm thick

I was obviously kidding… the 38mm size would fit wonderfully well on my pruny wrists. I recently got a Submersible at 42mm and it feels right.
I literally read "for my children's wrist".
Not hating on all small-wrist guys, I'm in fact in the category myself, but I think the 38mm PAMs are catering to females mostly (not even uni-sex) — although I'm unsure how Panerai markets them.
Even the 47mm Panerais don't wear as large as one may think. With my very slim sub-16cm wrist, I can still relatively easy do a 44mm PAM, but my 42mm PAM1393 hits the absolute perfect sweet spot for my wrist and quite honestly, I think a 38mm PAM would be too small...
So, before you go for the 38mm, perhaps it's worth trying on a 42mm PAM first and see how that looks.

Honestly, while I love that watch, I barely ever wear it
On my 16,5mm wrist
It's not shocking, though as says @eBoy 42mm would be perfect.
The main issue is that it's a bit thick as all Panerai reps, so not comfortable under a shirt and suit.
The only period I wear it is off work, when the weather is warm enough for a Tshirt and not hot not to sweat with the leather.
That's spot on. I wish a factory would rep the thin 42mm Radomirs like PAM337 or PAM512.
Imho that are the perdect Panerais for a small wrist.

There is. I placed an order and will be posting more pics when I have it in hand.

Here's the thing...
I'm a freak of nature.
My total circumference (on the wrist, not elsewhere. Elsewhere I'm a giant) is less than yours, yet I have freakishly flat wrists.
My "support surface" is that of an 17 to 18 cm wrist. I forgot to add this little embarrassing detail. That's why larger cases work.
That's something that's often overlooked by horology fans.... Circumference isn't everything. It also depends on the shape (Flat i.e. Oval vs Round) of the arm...
