I agree, but with all that were made there wasn’t one in 44mm that I thought was interesting enough to buy.

A 44mm Sub was my first Panerai, it’s long gone but the last three or four years I’ve been waiting for them to come with something cool in the 44mm range.
A few weeks ago, Panerai unveiled a series of Radiomir 1940 Green Dial. The two which caught my eyes are the 995 we already saw, and the 997. The PAM 995 for the record: Two very different watches, despite their green dial. The 995 is 45 mm big, 12, 2 mm ...
And this ceramic with green dial is no exception. Only problems for me is the 47mm... wish it was 40-42... in some cases even their 44mm works for me but above that very hard for me to adjust. 17.5cm wrist and 186cm tall yet I feel too small for 47mm...
New case material new blue dial... very pretty I thought... had it been smaller perhaps I would have placed an order for my first Pam... Really cool I thought: ...
Still one ref which haunts me is the 192... if I ever get a first Pam this may be it... but want to try one first... or at least find out how much it weighs...

The newly released carbotech in 42mm is quite cool... my only issue was the thickness of the rubber strap on both sides of the case, feels like protrudes a bit much but perhaps with a flatter strap... ...
... how you can consider the 3mm more on the dial ok for the second sub-dial, while in the same time considering 1mm for the case a potential problem of wearability since 47mm you said is OK I tried both watches in the Panerai boutique here in Milan, 997 ...
If you are after something more classic, the PAM 372 is THE beast. The 372 is hard to beat, in my opinion. The PAM 997 could well be a top second one. Ciao, amico. Nicolas
... somebody maybe have a 18 wrist more rounded and most probably the lugs will go outside the wrist, someone else could have a more flat wrist even 17, with the lugs fitting perfectly Imho I’ll post some pics after the boutique visit Ciao Luca
... almost the same For sure a big role is played by the different materials of the cases May I politely ask how did you feel the black “monster” on your wrist Looking forward to hearing from you, I thank you in advance I wish you a good day, my friend Be...
The 995 with its 45mm appears as well small(er) like a 45mm suppose to do. It’s a kind of dresser. The 997 has a „normal „Panerai appearance. It still look good on the wrist . So it’s a matter of which Look you prefer. ...
But I have not tried it yet. It looked like a beast at 48mm. I thought it was some DLC coated piece at first glance, and didn’t try it. Now I have to try it, after reading your post on it. I don’t know why people say Panerai is “dead”. To me, it still mak...
