48 or 104

hi all,

here is the question, my wife likes the 48 and I like the 104, our budget only allow one. she tried the 48 and likes it a lot, the 104 is to big for her small wrist. question is do you guys think a 40mm might be to small for myself in terms of panerai (usually bigger watch) if i want to wear it also?

thx

difficult one.... if it is for your wife.. let her choose it.. otherwise she willnot wear it as often... but if it is for you .. i'd go with the 104...

(Dave..you would recommend the 104 i would say... )

Hands down the 104 if it's for you. You'll flip the 48 down the road for a 44mm watch, I promise.

For you 104, Panerai is all about 44mm or bigger, 48 for your wife!!

Get the 40 for her now
Don't wear it, she will ask why and say it looks too good on you and I think it is too small for me. You will end up with both before you know it.

44mm size is just a matter of getting used to only. It has better resale value, better looks. Get the 44mm, I'm sure you won't regret it.
