First Panerai for thin wrists
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).

I would consider a Titanium Radiomir, in your case.
42 mm, if I am not wrong, and big class! Best, Nicolas
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 ...
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
