First Panerai for thin wrists

Sep 21, 2014,08:00 AM
 

Hi


I am looking to purchase my first panerai but I have relatively thin wrists (at 6.25 inches - more round than flat).  I have been looking at the Pam 392 (42mm) and the 44mm brown Pam 351 (titanium).  I think the 44mm designs look better but the 42mm seem to fit better on the wrist.  See attached some wrist shots.

I would be most grateful for any views especially since I'm new to Panerai.  I normally wear 40mm watches (rolex sub and the Jaeger memovox).

Here's the Ti Radiomir...

Pam 338 that Nicolas mentioned. It's not a small watch by any means but will provide a nice fit for you due to its relative thinnest in conjunction with the wired lugs. cheers fernando ...  

Yes, this one! [nt]

I'd suggest one of the new 42mm Panerai Luminors

for your 1st Panerai since you seem to prefer a smaller size due to your wrist. Then perhaps a 40mm or 42mm Radiomir as your 2nd :) Cheers, Anthony

Thanks

Thank you all for your suggestions. I went to the boutique again and tried the watches on and am set to get a 44mm luminor 1950. My choice now is between the Pam 233 (which is gorgeous but a bit out of my budget) and the Pam 351 (titanium). The Pam 233 si... 

Of those 2, I'd opt for the PAM351 because it's a cleaner dial

I've never been a fan of the power reserve fang, so that's why my vote goes for the PAM351. Cheers, Anthony
