Nope, even having small wrists just not a fan of the 40 mm Panerai offerings. I have tried it on and the dial is very nice, just the size is not for me.

Well, the 44mm is just way too big for me and my taste. This is why I can't seem to justify keeping my 312.

How long have you had the 312 and how often do you wear it? Maybe you just need a little more time to get comfortable with the size. I love mine and I have 7" wrists.

Have not wear it at all, just been trying it on and I can't seem to like it. Not because of the watch, but because of it's size.

Why would you buy a watch and then decide later if you wanted to wear it or whether it was too big? Just makes no sense at all!

Emil...just noticed that you decided to sell..sorry to hear that bud...and good luck...

I was in Seattle this past weekend and tried on the 233 and other 1950 cased PAMs...I am going to buy one..just not now...

wife saw a Birkin and the rest was history

I also saw a couple of new DJ2..Rolex did a good job on the redesign

Well if I could convince you to give it the wrist time it deserves, I'd be willing to bet you could easily wear and enjoy that watch. It really is nice.
