Arie, I apologize if I offended you,
Mar 12, 2019,15:05 PM
It wasn’t my intent, I did say what are ALL of you smoking so it wasnt personal, just my feeble attempt at humor. What are you smokeing is just a saying form long ago to tease. I started out with Panerai and they are big watches but I love being a Paneristi. The comfort of a Luminor 47mm is not great, so good point but it isn’t all about comfort to me albeit I don’t find them unusually uncomfortable, just big as they were intended. You saying ‘They are just too Big” probably didnn’t make a lot of Paneristis on this site very happy, we are a passionate group and love our Panerai but of course each to ther own...Jim

They are simply too big.
By: Arie - Mr Orange : March 12th, 2019-01:47
And according to some I’ve got Sasquatch wrists. Nevertheless 42 mm plus watches are not comfortable to wear. Fact. And I still own 2 PAMs and I have owned 2 more, but I will never buy one again. No matter how cool the design is. I do like the Mare Nostru...
Large watches seem to be the fashion now
By: Poky : March 12th, 2019-02:29
Even 40 mm is too big, certainly for my wrist. I think a watch looks much nicer when the case and lugs sits shorter than the wrist margins.
Wait, allegedly???

It's a fact. The Yeti thinks PAMs are too large? Then, I definitely shouldn't have one.
The a PAM is in its element.
By: Arie - Mr Orange : March 12th, 2019-10:55
Maybe I should get a bracelet (if they have one???) for my historically ‘wrong’ PAM I’m not a fan of rubber. ...
I’m sure it was reason.

But imo a Luminor Due is somewhat insane. On the one hand they make it thinner, but that crown clasp is still on there?! I don’t get that. A Radiomir Due, that I would understand.
Mare looks good

Yes PAM lost his allure a lot lately still 249 is one I wanna Cheers D
Interested to know

What are your thoughts about the size of this piece. Do you wear this regularly. I am admiring a few versions of the radiomir but always hold back due to the size. The dial is so simple and charming.
This is a 2 years old 3D btw...

If the piece you're asking the size for is the PAM249 "Cali", it's a 47mm model. Ciao
That was the original idea.....
By: sergio : March 12th, 2019-06:33
big and luminous. Big enough to see the time immediately through diving masks and luminous so that it could be done, at night underwater (where dark is REALLY dark). I agree with you and think that people that buy a 47mm Panerai for any other reason than....
Oh come on now!

What are you all smoking to say such a thing? I have a 6.75 inch wrist and pull off a 47mm fine within the edges of my wrist, it does look big But that’s because of the height of the case. Hell my wife wears a 40mm Hulk and a A&S moon phase 42mm all t...
Great point Leopoid
By: GreatPilot@me.com : March 12th, 2019-14:53
I have 6-7 Rolex, the Sky-Dweller and the Explorer II are the biggest at 42, the others are 40mm, they all look and fit great as well. My wife exclusively wears the Explorer II and the Hulk. Panerai is a cool watch and made big for good reasons, the Radio...

Not offended at all!!!
By: Arie - Mr Orange : March 12th, 2019-15:18
(it made me smile; I probably should have added a happy emoticon or whatever in my reply) NB We are discussing watches (things) and every person has a different feel or opinion about them and (at least to me) here we should be free to discuss watches. Nob...
Perfect

Good debate.....Jim
It depends on your wrist physiology
By: reintitan : March 12th, 2019-17:37
If you have a relatively flat wrist (whether small or large total diameter) and the lugs of big watches don't overhang the sides they can look good on you. On the other hand (pun intended) if you have a relatively tubular wrist even if you are Sasquatch-s...
I make an exception for Panerai
By: JohnFM : March 12th, 2019-17:50
36-38mm watches are generally my favorites. Even a 42mm Omega or Rolex looks and feels too big on my 6.8" wrist. Yet I own several 47mm Panerais. My wife and friends ask why I choose to wear a clock on my wrist! Part of the reason is that PAMs were design...
WOW...I've gotten a headache just....
By: sergio : March 12th, 2019-18:28
reading all the brands and models you own and use. LOLLL After about 1 month of 249, all the other watches looked (to me) like gifts you can find inside an Easter egg and I stopped using them altogether. Nowadays, everything less than 44mm it would feel l...
A Flik Flak! I don't know what that is, but it sounds ... small!
By: JohnFM : March 12th, 2019-19:19
True sergio, I have the bug. But I do sell from time to time too ;-) It is funny how I like Panerai and, at the same time, much smaller watches. Not sure it makes sense, but I gave up trying to make sense with watches long ago. Here are two more for you t...
If there's something I've learned....

during an already long life is that, when it comes to one's pleasure and doesn't hurt anybody around you...making sense...it's not indispensible. Just enjoy it, period BTW Flik-Flak is the kids line of Swatch...

By: Echi : March 12th, 2019-19:22
Big and beautiful. And even though I don't find them uncomfortable (I wear them when I photograph on long trips) I find myself preferring 40mm watches (why I'm probably more leaning towards Rolex these days) and on a bracelet vs strap. But I love em. A co...
