The standard Panerai strap barely fits on my wrist and the next size up is the XL.

Since I have a 7.25" wrist, would the XL be too long for me? Or should I just stick with an aftermarket strap to better suit my wrist?

Anyone have wrist shots with a similar wrist size?

Thanks

I also have 7.25" wrists and prefer AMMOS that are 4mm-5mm thick. I wear 145/85 sized straps and feel they're perfect. Good luck! There's always some trial & error in finding what works for you.

I recommend to have one custome made. Somewhere like Gunny straps. If you tell Peter, there, the watch size and your wrist measurement he'll size the strap accordingly.

I personally prefer the OEM straps. My wrist is about the same size as yours and the OEM XL length (115/95) fits better than the standard length.

There are some good aftermarket strap makers out there, for sure. But I prefer the thinner tailored look of the OEM straps.

What watch is it for (model #) and what look you going for (dressy or vintage)?
