I hope so, because otherwise I will just have to ban Panerai out of my life. Again.

Had a PAM 359. Sold it because i found it too big.

Then I got a PAM 379.... Sold it, because I found it too big. Surprise, surprise...

So, here goes:

The day before yesterday I was in a jewelry store getting some jewelry for my wife and obviously tried on a watch. The very attentive salesman was wearing a GMT II BLNR and when I commented: 'nice watch' he told me he had one on stock due to a cancellation. I tried it on. I liked it. But was wise and said no thank you. I'm on the list for the new Daytona so enough should be enough right?

Today I passed the store again with my wife and they were standing outside drinking champagne. The smart man offered us some...

I have been thinking for a long time about getting a watch my wife and I could share. So I asked him to get the PAM 574 out of the shop window. My wife tried it on and looked at it, looked back at her green dialed Day Date, looked back at me and said: nah...mine is so much nicer.

So it stopped right there. Or did it?

No it didn't smile

About the Panerai Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic Ref. PAM359

The PAM359 represents Panerai's Luminor Marina 1950 3 Days Automatic in a 44mm polished steel configuration. This reference sits within the Luminor Marina series, distinguished by its automatic movement and three-day power reserve capability.

The watch features a 44mm polished steel case paired with a matching polished steel bezel. Protection comes from a 2.6mm sapphire crystal, while water resistance extends to 300 meters. The piece is powered by the Calibre P.9000 movement, providing the stated three-day power reserve through automatic winding.

The PAM359 appeals to collectors seeking a steel sports watch with substantial case dimensions and extended power reserve. The polished steel construction and 44mm sizing position this reference for those preferring larger case proportions within the Luminor Marina collection. The automatic movement eliminates manual winding requirements while maintaining the three-day reserve specification.

It's a good comment, smart brand. The dial of this is quite clean, looks good. The other thing I know about Panerai is I cannot tell the difference which model is which, new or old but that's just me being ignorant. Congrats...do I sound like a Dutch ) Rgds Raymond

Perfect for the spring and even better for the winter when it is all gloomy and dark.

Congratulations on the purchase. I don't know what is your wrist size. Mine is 6.25. I have always stayed away from Panerai because of the size. However, on my recent trip to New York, I stepped into the Panerai boutique and tried the 42 mm 512 and 392. Loved both of them. 512 sat better on the wrist but 392 has a better presence. Will difinitely buy one out of those 2 in the future. The 40 mm model is being discontinued and 42 mm will become the minimum size going forward.

42 suits me fine and the question of "is it too big?" will never arise. cheers fernando

great watch selection. the size is perfect for your wrist. definitely does not look "girly" at all. the 42mm panerai are still big, see attached comparison photo with 39mm RL automotive chronometer
