... I also thought that I couldn´t bear to wear a watch larger than 40 mm... till I discovered and fell in love with Panerai watches.
At present I mantain my watches in the 38 to 42 mm range. But I have an special niche in my collection devoted to Panerai and its Big 47 mm models which I wear with delight in spite of my rather thin 7,5" wrist.
The big Pam 721 is an extraordinary model with a lot of Heritage behind! Glad to know you never said never to big watches!!
Hagwe! Abel
