Venture into Panerai

[watsondog]

I'm looking to pick up my first PAM. Does anyone have one of the 'smaller' models for sale ? I'm not looking at anything over 40mm as my wrist wont have it. (I tried a UBoat thinking I might get away with it but it felt like I was wearing a clock)
Either in stainless, or that wonderful rosegold version I saw somewhere Strap or bracelet, modded or not, lets see whats out there.

Have you tried on a standard 44mm? It is not nearly as large as the UBoat, and will give you a lot of options to choose from in that size.

+1, try it on! A standard handwound 44mm PAM wears relatively small compared to the 44mm case size. I have a wrist below 7", was a mainstream Rolex fan, still but PAMs are ideal for my wrist. But not ideal for my wallet.... :facepalm:

Yes., tried others in 44 but just dont think they sit right on me.

Mmm, just read Karez's comments. I've plenty of Rolex's (or is it Rolei !!) and dont have a problem. Nor with the Speedy, so if your correct and the 44mm wear 'smaller' then I might just........

Seconding the opinion that the 44mm's wear smaller than you expect.

I've a small wrist and held off from pams for a long time but the 44mm is really wearable whatever your wrist size. I just posted a couple of wristshots of my 005 if you want to take a look (6.7 wrist).

i say they are a good size for many wrists. Heres my pam homage and milg for comparison.
