Greetings folks !

Easy on me, this is my first Created Thread, so ... go easy on me please !

I have always admired Panerais and folks that can wear one. I have puny wrists and at 6.5 to 6.75 in those hot days, always consider Panerai too big. I would like to give a Pan a try, so here it is...

Please recommend me a small (40mm or less?) Pan to try ! If you have pictures, even better !

Cheers, and this place rocks !

Panerai aren't like other brands. They are meant to wear big. With that size of a wrist, even the 44mm would serve you well (I have a smaller wrist and tend to favor the 47mm subs, but that's me), and a lot of the 44mms are super rep level like the PAM111, PAM000, PAM005 and PAM177, just for starters.

The 439, 512, and 676 are 42mm, if I remember correctly. They should wear well on your wrist.

The 44mm wears much much better than you think! My wrist comes up to about 6.75" too but I have a pretty flat wrist and huge palms, so the watch looks fine.
But to be fair, I can pull off 50mm total diameter watches easy. BUT adding on to that again, I'm not a big guy by any means, 5'7" asian at about 160lbs :p
I usually talk in metrics but since we started the thread with imperials..

When I read Imperials, I just remembered it was Star Wars day yesterday. Don't know why. :p I'm 5'8" but lighter at 143lbs (although I was 180 before). :)

I have the same size wrists and most 24mm lug PAMs fit me well.

Check out a PAM243 or 111.

PAM243 on 6.75" (max!) wrist:

Even a 47mm "fiddy" looks fine on my puny wrist:

I have 6.75inch wrists and have the 44mm pam 111. It fits great and I don't recommend going smaller than 42mm. The pam 111 looked small when I compared tk some guy wearing a fashion watch.
