You need to put a block on that you tube video.

Very nice.

Wow. It is absolutely gorgeous! It also appears to wear smaller than other 47mm PAMs. I had been set on picking up a 233, but I'm going to keep my name on the two 372 lists I'm on.

Pretty soon none of the PAM line-up will be anywhere close to "cheap."

And B, you see the replies in the youtube. He has a 6.75" wrist and using the smallest hole! Ugh, this is going to be too big for me..........





---------------- small wrist curse for 47mm luminors.

It can be done, Mik! Phil thought he couldn't do 47mm and he loved his 249!!

Bryan, I tried my friend's fiddy and I cant pull it off. I have a 249 & 232 and they both wear ok since they are thinner and the lugs are wire lugs, hence making it still look proper on a small wrist. However when I tried the fiddy on, it looked horrible on me, the tips of the lugs go over my wrist and the leather strap looks folded and hidden. Its a very nice watch, but not for skinny wrists. I wished they made it in a 44mm version..

yeah...I am at 6.5" wrist size as well...
I feel more comfortable with the 47mm Rads than the Luminors..but I will need to see how the 372 fits as everyone that has seen it says it wear smaller than a 203/127...

Hopefully the entire SIHH2011 is available at the Panerai event in mid Sept.

But this baby was BIG...

Versus the 249..

Agreed. I could pull of a 232/249 because it is thin and wire lugged. I've tried on a 127 before and it was Bee Eye Jee ----- BIG

I still am dying to try a 372 on and make the final determination myself. Hopefully someone near me will get one and I can take it for a test drive before I plunk down 10.4k.

If somebody put a 203 on my wrist, I don't care how small I was, I'd find a way to wear that thing. :-)

Ditto Mik.

I want to try one on first before buying. I really have doubts on it's wearability.

I wish my AD was closer by, but being that they aren't, I've always bought my PAM's sight unseen. Worked out great so far! I've also owned a BP and it fit perfectly, so I'm guessing the 372 will be good. I have 7.25" wrists....

Is it here yet???......

I have 6.75" wrists also. I put my name on the waiting list but was unsure about the size. There are 2 people ahead of me... and I know how those waiting lists tend to be ignored for VIPs. I had gone away from this watch but that giant crystal and that beautiful strap. Wow! That's real PAM DNA. That video gives me hope that I might be able to pull it off. I guess we'll see! The color scheme reminds me a lot of Ken's priceless beauty.
