Officine Panerai

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.

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

So I worry about my 16.5 cm wrist falling short 😆

36mm Breguet Classiques, 38 mm Blancpain Lemans, 39 mm Speedmaster Reduced, 36mm Seamasters - all have lug-lug of ~44mm or less. Some 40mm watches.
It's all in how they drape on the wrist for me. When they drape well, cuffs love them and they don't spin on my wrist when I"m trying to tell the time.

I've 17 cms but rounded wrist and 372 goes well....probably the only Panerai I could say I miss. 372 had 2 versions, earlier ones with Plexi and the later one with Sapphire - Plexi is the best IMHO, but both looks great.




Best,

. 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?

If my memory serves well, starting 'S' series it is Sapphire, from launch until 'R' it is Plexi.
