Yep somehow doesn't seem right. But then again they are probably just trying to cater to a larger audience, like Rolex when they go bigger.

haven't seen one, but, since some may tend to think of rads as dress pieces, they might prefer the 42 size.
to me, it was clear that a luminor HAS to be 44 and not 40, but, i don't have enough experience with 45 or 47 mm rads and the new 42s. |

What's wrong with more choices? If I had money just laying around, I'd pick one up in RG for a dress watch! I think they are spectacular looking in pictures. I haven't seen one in the metal yet.
Plus, up until now, there haven't been many choices for ladies. I think Panerai made some really good choices offering more sizes.

42 gives more oPtions for those who likes a pam design but dont like the large size.

To each their own. I personally appreciate the brand pedigree and will only buy the historically correct sizes. This is part of the reason I spend so much on these things, Panerai or otherwise. IMHO.

I think the 40mm and 42mm are great. Love the 40mm on bracelets and the 42mm are great dress pieces..

I would not wear a 40 or 42 mm Panerai but what about our woman ?
40 is much better than a 45 mm rad for them ! |

Anyone have a pic or 42 vs 45mm Radiomir? I think the 42mm might not be that bad...
Also, is there a 45mm that is similar to the 338 42mm (i.e. Titanium)? |
