GREAT looking watch and something I may
have to consider as I have somewhat smaller wrist
at somewhere between 6.5 and 6.8 in

I do not know why we dont see more of the 40 mm Pans
and why people say its not a "mans size" in Europe...

Small Penis = Large watch to compensate. LOL Sorry, but I see too many with really small wrist wearing 44mm Panerais when they would be much better off with 40mm. If the lugs hang off the sides of your wrist, it is too big. A 40mm Panerai is still much bigger and heavier than a 40mm Rolex.

I have large wrists,so can we then assume that the 44/45mms fit me well and that I wouldnt be compensating ??

i just wanted to know that on a regular wearing basis, without needing to wind, just living up on the auto winding due to regular wear, where does the powere reserve normally stay?..does it show a full wind or something less on regular wear?..just want to know it to see if an auto watch needs to be helped some bit with hand-winding to keep it fully wound :)

secondly, as long as their is any amount of power left, may be just the last two hours, does the watch keep performing accurately or does reduced power reserve mean that the watch also slows down in functionality?..if it does slow down, what amount of minimum power reserve actually keeps the watch ticking well?..:)..thats a lot of questions..thanks a lot for answering :)

On the 8/10 days,the last two days can be a bit off.Also true for the IWC Big P.On the "normal" autos ,Like the 104 and 242,I have not noticed ant difference.Overnight position more important,on time keeping accuracy.
