Luminor Quaranta BiTempo PAM01365 GMT
Does anyone own or have any experience with this 40mm GMT? I tried on the Luminor Mariner the other day and liked it. Of course, it’s hard to know how it will really wear until you’ve had it on all day.
Thoughts on this or any of their similar 40mm references? Note - it’s been difficult finding out the actual thickness of this watch online. The Panerai website says 5.2mm which must refer to the movement itself. Below is the Mariner (non-GMT) I tried on, and then below that is the GMT from the website.

Personally think the smallest Panerai to be considered is 42mm. The 38 & 40mm stuff I just don’t get

This. I own a number of 42 and 44mm PAMs and really enjoy them on my 7in wrist. I picked up the Quaranta a few years back and after the honeymoon, it collected dust. I traded it recently and it is not missed. |

Appreciate the feedback.
My wrist is about 6.70 inches, but I understand the watch is supposed to wear on the big side. First picture is the 40mm. The second picture is the 44 (I think it’s 44, could be 42.) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Difficult camera angle to judge by.

the second pic looks like it would work with your wrist. It appears so much larger because it was taken much closer. Id go 42 at the very smallest based on these pics

Agree. Not great pictures, nevertheless, I think you’ve convinced me on 42mm.
Follow up question… I like (what I think is) the classic style of what I tried on. I’d prefer hand wind. Any model recommendations? Thank you! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
