Key Points from the Discussion

The Panerai 1940 case, exemplified by models like the PAM 587 MM, often appears larger on the wrist than expected, prompting collectors to consider wrist size and fit carefully.
Achieving a comfortable and stable fit for larger watches like the Panerai 1940 case can be a challenge, with some collectors preferring a tighter wear to prevent twisting, while others opt for a looser fit for comfort, depending on the strap.
This thread is discussion-light, with most replies focusing on the aesthetic appeal of the watch rather than substantive technical or historical insights beyond the initial fit questions.

If you don’t mind the question, what is your wrist size? These 1940 case Pams seem to fit or look larger for some reason on me, but they’re picture perfect on you (the same as your other pieces). I have a Pam 587 MM (that I don’t wear), which I believe is the same exact case as yours.

but I tend to wear it a bit tight so that it stays there and doesn’t twist around. However, that’s not always the most comfortable depending on strap, so over past year or so I been wearing more a bit looser.
