Thanks guys!

This is actually my second Panerai. My first one was the Pam48 40mm (sold it here) and I have a friend here (Oscar (bodybump)) told me that if you have to own a Panerai, then it has to be 44mm. What a friend!!!

So thanks Oscar, I love this Pam88.

If you guys look at my first photo, my wrist is barely bigger than the watch. This why I bought the 40mm to begin with. I always thought that the 44m is too big for my wrist.

You will become more and more comfortable with the size as time goes on. My 45mm 190 doesn't feel big at all, but I also think RAD's wear a little smaller than the Luminor's.

Can't go wrong with the 88. It's an all time favourite.



Congrates!
