40MM Pam for smaller wrists?
I know there aren't any current Luminars being made at 40 MM.
Were there any popular ones from the past though? I love the California dial Radiomirs very much, and only wish they had that dome crystal on a 40mm size. Sadly they only make them at 47mm I believe. Was there one made at a smaller size in the past with a domed acrylic crystal? Any guys out there with smaller wrists that have a small sized PAM? I have tried the bigger ones, and even though I understand they are meant to have a big look, they just look funny on my very tiny wrists. Cheers guys! |

For Luminors, you can check out the 48 or 215 at 40mm or the 392, 523, 535 or 537 at 42mm (the latter set being rather thick).
For Radiomirs, check out the 337 or 338 at 42mm. For 1940 Radiomirs, try the 512 or 655 at 42mm. As for Cali dials, they've only been made at 47mm. |

I have a smallish wrist and have owned a few 44mm Luminors with no problem.
I tried the 42mm 393 once and felt it like a girls watch, didn't help that the NYC boutique had it on a pink croc strap... I would also like to see a Radiomir with 45mm California dial

Try one on, but I recommend trying many on. I started with a 40mm PAM and flipped it very quickly for a 44mm piece. It's all about the heritage...

40mm 121 with the El Primero movement and 200m WR on my 6.5" wrist. Variations include the 072, 074, 121, and 122.
