New Addition - PAM 312

Here is my latest. I previously had a PAM 48, PAM 111, PAM 000. This one wins IMHO by a wide margin.
A Rolex Milgauss white and an IWC Aquatimer chronograph had to go.
So far, I am enjoying the beast. Panerai certainly got it right with this one IMHO.
My wrist is 6.25" for those interested.

Congrats... looks good!

I think your wrist is as small as you can go with a 44mm. Any smaller and the lugs would extend beyond the width of your wrists

Welcome to 312 club, I got one for myself a few weeks back, and I thought my wrist was small!

Congrats on the 312... the watch fitting ok? Looks like the lugs are sorta hanging out.

Get a bigger/thicker strap, they may help with the look.

Fit

It fits well.
I had a larger thicker strap on my previous PAM 000 and I thought it looked ridiculous. The larger buckle was too much.
This watch certainly pushes the limit in size for me. However, IMHO, Panerai's were meant to be big. The 40mm ones just do not do it for me.

Thx for all the comments!
