Thanks Bill, but your wrist just looks any watch look good.

So I worry about my 16.5 cm wrist falling short 😆

Any happy PAM 372 owners with normal-sized wrists?
By: Lankysudanese : May 4th, 2024-19:25
I’ve got a 6.5 inch flat wrist, and I’m very interested in adding a 372 to the stable, but worry about it wearing like a heavy hockey puck. Would love to get some reassuring feedback from some purists. Thanks in advance. Hussam Photo borrowed from the web...
Ok...

That’s very neat.

I’ll post some grainy old photos of my prior 359, which seemed to stretch the definition of what size PAM I could wear. Will be eager to hear your thoughts

Never imagined you as a PAM guy, Mahesh

. So your approval really eggs me on. Looks like you had some nice family moments when you had it. That’s important Was yours plexy?
yes, mine was Plexi.

If my memory serves well, starting 'S' series it is Sapphire, from launch until 'R' it is Plexi.
I've never measured my wrist

and I've bought a hole truckload of 47mm. I've read, though, that anything starting from 15.5/16 it's good enough to wear one. I've also associated a big Panerai with attitude not wrist (unless you have truly a pencil one)
Indeed, it’s about the iconic look and attitude…

But there is a limit to the wrist+watch size discrepancy I’ve worn 44mm PAM’s before, at different case and crystal thickness, and that seemed to be my limit
The limit, as you call it...

...it's in your head, in the "conventions" you've been living under the influence of. Unless you have a truly puny wrist (but if you did, we wouldn't be here, debating) you only have to open your mind a litte. I.M.O.

brain and a touch of Asperger. The only abomination about the 125 is the name....Panerai....on it. Any other brand and I would (if it came to that) consider it on it's own merit: like don't like, with no sense of horror "clouding" my mind Lollllllllllllll...
ROFL!

And you certainly do wear all your PAM’s well, Doc.
By: Lankysudanese : May 5th, 2024-05:10
But I tend to wear my watches for a week at a time (including at work), so I worry about me reaching out for it less and less, as time goes. I wouldn’t want it to get relegated to a vacation watch Here’s a friend’s 44mm PAM 233, which also wore too big an...

Thanks for sharing your ownership experience.
By: Lankysudanese : May 5th, 2024-05:07
I was previously enamored with an-even smaller PAM (233) but couldn’t rock it because it wore too big. So it’s looking like the 372 is a no-go, which makes me sad ...
I'm with you exactly

Same wrist size (16cm), same desired PAMs (233 and 372 or something in that realm), same disappointment that makes me, every year or two, start thinking again, "Maybe I can do it...."

A little under 16cm

372 was the last new PAM I bought, I got one very early from the Boutique. Plexi, and it looked very cool. Still does. I owned several 47mm PAMs in my day, the 372 was the last of them. In reality, too big for my little wrist. No question. It’s hard to fi...
It was different times.
By: Jay (Eire) : May 5th, 2024-14:42
I owned a lot of Panerai in the 2000s, and 44mm was pretty normal. I also owned several 47mm PAMs (Luminors and Rads) but none got a lot of wrist time, the same for the 372. At that time I owned both a Big Pilot and JLC Extreme World Chrono, both 46.5mm i...
A little under 7 inches..
By: Echi : May 5th, 2024-04:55
Sergio is right. Not about the wrist size but a matter of attitude. I don’t feel self conscious wearing mine. And there’s nothing quite like a 47mm Panerai when you’re feeling like you really just don’t give a f*ck 🙂 ...
Mr Van der rohe....

knew his stuff all right. He's the one that said: less is more. No matter how many pictures I've seen of the 372, through the years, I never fail to just....admire it.
We have about the same wrist size...

Personally, I don't like lugs sticking too far out of my wrist. Pam Luminor and 1950 case in 44mm work best for me. Have a look at my 372 and 87 and you will get what I meant. I think how the watch looks (not just on the wrist.) on a person also depends o...
