Officine Panerai

Hi fellas, need an opinion please. Strap is not fastened, didn't want to mess around with the catch...

if you wear the watch like in the picture....yes! If, you loosen the strap a bit and "let it hang" a bit...no!

But hey, it all depends on you... If you're happy with.

Best,

Why don't you put the 384 on and take couple shots, that way we can compare.........

or for reference will the last hole on the strap give you a good fit?

339 wears smaller...

It mades it look odd. However as once uk panerai purist told me is all in your head.

But my take is if you're in love with the watch then maybe you should consider however if you're going to wear it(I can't understand why anyone would do otherwise) then NO.

BTW is this your 1st radiomir?

And wow, this AD has 2 339's on sale? Lucky them!

Hey, if it pulls at ya, just get it!

That the Radiomir in question was a 339! But obviously everyone has been fair and unbiased in commenting.

The other 384 is mine actually, and here's a wristshot:



@ocwatching: I haven't put a measuring tape to my wrist yet, but I wear the 1950 44mm case on the very last hole on a stock strap. For the 384 (45mm), I could wear the last hole, but the second last hole is what I use for comfort.

I'm sensitive about the size because I got burnt on a Bumblebee which I loved and convinced myself it wasn't too big, but clearly it was. Too much air and yes, as Nicolas put, the lugs overhung the wrist.

I'm very happy with the 384 so far, the ceramic finish is sublime, but I keep wishing it has a GMT hand, and is auto. Which is why I keep coming back to the 323, just that the size bugs me.

44mm, automatic, GMT, date (no horrible magnifying lense), 1950 case, P.9001 in house caliber 3 days PR....a rather nice piece, IMO.

Cheers - Sergio

But I already have a 317, so that's covered. If I need to scratch the auto GMT Luminor itch, it would be the 335, which was a close contender in my mind to the 317.

and since we're talking about OEM straps, they're made so that the watch fits...at least to my understanding.  So if you fit the strap, you probably fit the piece.  It'd be silly if the last hole is a fit but the watch is too big for you....that's a design flaw.  I'm sure everyone's wrists are shaped slightly differently regardless of the circumference, but really should be a good indicator of fit.

it really comes down to: how Comfortable you're with the Watch on YOUR Wrist.

who care what others say !!?..  but i'd say : WEAR WHAT YOU LIKE . 

 if i were you ?. YES. i'd wear it.  :0)))))
