Dude, everybody on this board will tell you that 44 is not the way to go as its not true to Panerai. I TOTALLY DISAGREE with this logic. Its like saying that because i want a 40 mm Rolex i am not being true to the original iconic Rolexes like the Explorer I which is 36mm. (pre 2010 basel). A man with a 6in wrist looks IMHO ridiculous with 44 pam on. You have to buy things that you like and it doesnt matter unless you have a re sale value concern. The 40s dont do a well because of the feeling out there that is perpetuated by the public as it is less iconic. If you are into fashion, then all of the trends are heading back to smaller watches...not small like 34mm but not bigger than 40mm. With that said, buy what you like but here is a good example... I tried on a 44 at Tourneau and the saleslady knows me and also knows that I was ready to buy and she said "Dude it looks too big" , and she only had 44s in the case. Tourneau is notorious for trying to sell watches just to make a sale and if SHE told me that it looked bad and she was about to make alot of money off of the sale, then you know it looked ridiculous. Just my 2cents. What is really funny is that a 40 looks really big on a 6in wrist so everyone will think its a 44 anyway if that any consolation. I have a 40 and thats what happens to me. LOL!!!
