Any lady Panerai owners??

Hi are there any lady panerai owners?

I am reading as much as possible on what model to go for, being a lady, it would be nice to see what other ladies have Panerai wise.

I saw a great post from a guy whose wife had a 51 panerai, it looks really cool.

Anyway, I have small/med wrists so I think I could do either a 40mm or a 44mm.

I live in the UK, so you can imagine that there is not a wide choice available.

I called WOS today and said "do you have any Panarei's for me to try on tomorrow" they said "we have a metal strap one" I said "so when are you getting more in?" He said "in a few weeks, our new delivery comes in" So I said " Ahh, just in time for the price increases" he said ~"yep"

I digress,

Any lady owners??

my wife has very small wrists (5.5") and she always use my watches (44 and 45mm), here in brasil the women like big watches, so, we like it.

My wife LOVES the big watch look too. I think a PAM will eventually make it on her wrist. Check the Panerai website go to distributors for the U.K. and see if there are any other places to see them.

Perhaps Argee or others here can point you in the right direction. Good Luck! I am with Tui and Chris above... PAM would be great for you!

Good Luck!

My wife loves her Pam 49.. Its a white face and it goes with any color band.

Its one of the unisex Pams.

My wife wears this exact same 282 and looks GREAT in it! Hew wrists are tiny, but this watch does not look overwhelming!

My wifey usually wear my 183. She like it so much. Her wrist is very tiny, but looking nice with big watch like Radiomir Blackseal.

My fiance really wants the 51, and I really want her to get the 49. I told her the straps is where it is at, but alas, she doesn't believe me....

*sigh*

If you're in London then you may well have the best selection on the planet, there are quite a few Panerai dealers in and around Bond Street, it's always worth having a good look round that area. And the Panerai dealers in that area also have shops across the UK that hold stock as well, so if the one you want isn't in London they can transfer it from their shops, i know Robinsons do a good range in their Liverpool/Manchester shops and also have a London AD.

As for the watch itself, well 40mm or 44mm suits me just fine, i'm a man with a 6.75" wrist and both look fine on my wrists, if you like the 51 then go for it, they shouldn't be too difficult to find, you could even try on a 40mm PAM in an AD then order a 51 through another source such as blowers, watches.co.uk or another AD.

I am not that crazy about men's watch on women...look like they are wearing there husband's watch!!! too masculine...but admit the 049 with the pink strap could do on certain women!
