47MM Panerais..........Really????

[Cru Jones]

I dunno...all this millimeter talk among men is a bit bizarre.

All comes down to the watch, the wrist and the owner's sense of style. Don't really see much point in judging other people's choices when it comes to watches.

Imho, as a luxury good, a high-end watch is much more a fashion statement than a device to tell time. And as far as fashion goes... have you seen Lady Gaga recently?

Anyways... Did I mention I like big (as in 60mm BIG) watches...? (feel free to laugh... I really don't mind/care )

Lady GaGa....

I tried on the 42mm radiomir watches. The fit and looked great.

Too true.

And 60mm is the new 47mm.

I think it looks great....just the right size. Any bigger would look silly. here is my daily beater. I pull it off I think because of my flat top wrist.

By the same token, these 47MM watches look great on bigger guys but for the average guy, I just don't see it. I wish that Panerai would make some of these fantastic looking 47MM styles in 44MM so the average guy could wear them and not be so out of proportion.............thoughts?????

Own couple 47mm Panerai, and love wearing them.

I gave up on 47mm PAMs for myself a little while ago. For whatever reason, they just feel/look too damn big on my chicken wrists.

i started to think that 44 mm is getting small for my taste.... 47 mm is the way to go... 60 mm ? probably too big on me... :)

[aboen]

With 42mm :-)


BTW - not a fan of 47mm Penerai's

Here's a perfect example as to why I started this thread.........the watch case is as big if not bigger than this gentleman's wrist..........is that really a good look???? The watch is gorgeous and would look great on some of the guys with big wrists, thick forearms and big guns but on this guy.........it just looks plain silly.........just my .02

Just so you know I'm not picking on this guy specifically, that's exactly how a 47mm would look on my wrist
