Subco
70
correct size, or Rolex...
Hi Watchnut.
First time, i collected Rolex, specially vintage Subs. They are 40 mm, and i find it very comfortable.
As i bought my first Panerai (PAM001) in 1998, i was afraid with the 44mm.
But honestly, i really find it very wearable and comfortable too. This was better day after day... untill i found my old Subs too small!
So, as a Panerai must be a big watch (45 for Rads, 44 for Lums and 47 for the historic sizing), i think you must buy one in those dimensions, whenever it is not an actual PAM!!!!! Try it, and you will see.
If really too big for you, i agree with all the purist who answer to your question: buy a Rolex. It's prestigious, reliable and indestructible.
Hope this helps.
David.
First Panerai
Dear all watch lovers i am really interested in buying a new watch I really like the Radiomir but i need to have a date on my watch also i prefer a 40mm or 42mm i don't like the very big ones any advise will be highly appreciated i havee a budget of 5000-...
Why not going on a Rolex rather than on a Panerai?
A small case + the date are not featurees which are lcearly in the Panerai DNA. In consequence, wouldn't it be a smarter option to go on a Rolex? 40 mm + Date, you have a lot of choice: GMT, Subs, Explorers ( not the new one, which is much bigger with its...

That wouldn't be a bad choice. It just raises one more question.
Vintage or Modern? Both??? Tsssss! Best, Nicolas.
I have to agree with Nicolas, on this...
why bother with a small Panerai? Cheers - Sergio
Go Big
Hi Watchnut, Hopefully we can give you some inspiration here!! I am fairly conservative and originally liked the panerai 40 and 42 sizes (at the time owned a rolex explorer II) but over several years gravitated towards the "panerai-size". Sometimes I stil...
Considerations for your first Panerai
Since you prefer a Radiomir and 40mm/42mm, how about the PAM337? I know it doesn't have a date on it, but that's what your iPhone is for LOL. Regards, ED-209
If you insist on a Radiomir, and can stretch your budget
The PAM 355 is very nice and the GMT + alarm functions are very useful. For the budget you mentioned, you will have to go Luminor, perhaps the 40mm will suit your taste. Otherwise, you can hunt for the Rad in the second hand market which also can be fun. ...
