I really wish that there was a 36mm option with Panerai. I might consider a 38mm if I could find one. @Belkin12 customs are really nice.

Melissa, no offense, but a Panerai is inherently a large watch, traditionally 47 or 60mm. It had to be as a combat diver's tool.

A 36 or even 38 mm Panerai makes as much sense as a Cartier Tank Louis in 42 x 48mm. Sometimes people with small wrists have to accept their limitations as much as we folks with large wrists. My wife with her tiny 5-7/8-inch wrist now started buying solid 14K and 18K gold vintage watches in 32 to 35mm. I envy her, but there's no way for me to wear any of those on my 8-1/4-inch wrist without looking ridiculous.

None taken. I just toured the panerai wrist shot thread and didn't find any combat divers 😜 , but a quick scroll there and on the internet I found an ever evolving company that now placate to Rodeo Drive instead of Fincantieri.

No one has stopped my dreaming yet. I see a pink mop in a rose gold 38mm case in my future one day. 😎

Dream BIG, Melissa!
Here's my Zlatoust 191Chs on my 8-1/4" wrist. It's the same size as the PAM00341 (60mm without the crown, 70 with). On my wife's wrist it would look like a kitchen clock . . .
