Options for a 40mm PAM 1950 style

[HkPlinker]

I have a PAM510 and it's big, but I love everything about it. Sandwich, 1950s look, etc, . I'm used to 36-42mm watches and looking into the possibility a 40 or 42mm replacement option.

Thoughts?

I have a 7" wrist and my 42mm Radiomir looks like a conservative, dressy watch on my wrist with a black alligator strap. Besides looks, I really like the legibility of this watch. The silver hands really glisten and pop from the dial. Likewise, the lume is fantastic.

I'm now considering adding a 44mm Luminor for a bit of that "in your face" Panerai look... but still on the bubble with that decision. I have no regrets with the 42mm being my first Panerai... for me, anything smaller would be lost on my wrist.

FWIW : I am a biggish guy with a, charitably, mid-sized wrist ( 6.8 +/- ) that is very flat. Some big watches are great on me, some smaller watches are a problem. Nevertheless, I routinely wear my 44mm PAM 915 - the Bettarini case does really well on my wrist.

I've been thinking about adding to my Panerai collection and I'm going to look at the the 40mm white Luminor and the new 8-giorni Radiomirs at 45mm.

To my mind, both would give me some size variety. The 40mm is obvious - it is still a 48-ishmm lug to lug ( or some such ) - and the bigger watch has a shorter lug to lug at 47-ish.

Maybe those might give you some options, too?
