Hi all, I've been a Panerai admirer from afar for years now. I have always loved the look but thought they wore too big on the wrist. This was back when my only watch was a 36mm Datejust. I have since been wearing a 6 digit Sub and it's expanded my tolerance for bigger pieces. I tried on a 47mm Luminor this weekend and while it was big I was shocked that it wasn't too much. A 45mm Radiomir/1940 case was perfectly wearable. So I'm quite excited that it might finally be time to add a Panerai to my small collection. With there being so many models I thought I would enlist some help narrowing down the choices.

Here are my requirements:

- 45mm max
- Luminor/Radiomir/1940s cases are fine
- Easy strap change is a big plus (is the push button system all it's cracked up to be, see some horror stories)
- In house movement preferred, manual wind/automatic is ok
- Something considered a shining example of the brand/classic DNA is preferred
- Would like to stay under 8k for a minty pre-owned example

Thanks in advance all!
