Will Panerai ever make a 40mm Radiomir?

I have relatively small wrists at 7 inches. I find the 45mm radiomir's too big.

Do you think panerai will ever make a 40mm Radiomir?

I have a small wrist. I sold an 005 because it was too big. I liked the 523 and 1523 at 42mm. Not Radiomirs, though.

Can't go wrong w/ a 42mm wire lug rad. They wear like a 40mm but still have enough presence on a small wrist. Classic Panerai style in a smaller package. I know of the PAM 062 40mm rad but SE so hard to track down, not to mention white gold.

They have some 40mm radiomir with wire lugs. They are older and SE's I think.

42mm radiomir wear really small for their size due to thinness and wire lugs. I'd consider them almost a dress watch hybrid.

42mm is probably the best size for it because it sits more flat on the wrist and 40mm might be way too small.

42mm radiomir wears like a slightly big 40...you're MORE than fine with that and 7 inch wrists, and a 40mm panerai wouldnt look remotely right. They are supposed to be a bit oversized, even with their smaller cases.

See if you can find a PAM337. It's a 42mm wire-lug Radiomir with an in-house movement. This should wear quite fine on your wrist as the wire Rads wear smaller:

Quite a few 40mm Rads in the catalogue, though most are SEs with diamonds (not all - see the 46, 47 and 62). There even are a couple 38mm Rads (144 & 145).

Hi DP, do you have a photo with the 337, or did you mean the 183?

Pam512

Pam512 is really cool, my wife has one, perfect size for a small wrist - even I wear it from time to time.
