My new 372 - with mandatory wrist shot ;)

It's been a while between posts here, and new watches (life got in the way ;)) - missed this great place!

I'm back with a much needed new addition to the family that I picked up this week - my new friend the 372.

I debated long and hard between this and the 312 - despite the fact I loved the 372, I was worried it may be too big on my wrist, but in the end I went with my gut and I think it worked out ok ;)

I'm loving it's simple dial, domed plexiglass and retro looks. No doubt she's big, but I think somehow low profile (relatively speaking!), and very comfortable.

Hope you enjoy my pics

Thank you!

I hope you still have something from the Panerai family in your collection (?).

Thanks! I'm just under 6 1/2 inches, so on the smaller side - but still seems to work (just)!

Congrats, I love the 372!

How big is your wrist, if I may ask? I'd love to have one, but with a 6.5" wrist I'm afraid it would've too large for me.
