Panerai Domed Sapphire
 

I'm thinking more and more to buy my 1st Panerai. I'm spending hours on this forum looking at pictures and pretty much made my mind up that I really love a domed one. I think up to 44mm would be ok but 47mm seems to be to large on my wrist. Is it just me or do most domed Panerais come in 47mm?
I do love the 233 but have seen some very nice other ones which I do not know the model numbers at the moment but they all look like 47's.

My dream Pam would be around 44mm with domed sapphire and a brown suede leather strap. Any suggestion from our Panerai experts would be much appreciated. I really want a keeper and that's the main reason for taking my time.
Thanks in advance,
Frank

Dont worry about the strap, you can easily find an OEM or other just like you want. You should try the 1312, its a luminor 1950 in 44mm. Great watch if you like the blue second hand and the date window

This is one of my favorites:thumbsup:

I wear a 44mm 1312 on my six and a half inch wrist. It just fits...I wish I can go bigger but the lugs would overhang my wrist. Otherwise I would have gone with 372.

Domed Sapphire is an elusive option on the 44mm case size.. You're on the right track looking at the 233. Great all around PAM.

I don't believe these suggestions are domed, except the 233.

My understanding is the 8 days and 10 days 44mm 1950 case sizes have domed sapphires. Like the 311, 317 and 335

But not all. The 533 does not looked domed. It may be a cost reduced 270, as thw domes are seen to be expensive and I expect more difficult to make.

The Bettarini Luminors have a slightly convex chrystal, but not a dome like the 233.

Dome is dome.
