Wuddaboutyou?

How much tail do you like on your Panerai? I've come to LOVE the longer tail and my 7" wrist does perfectly with 145/85 & about 4mm-4.5mm in thickness.

How about you? Show me your tail!

19.5cm wrists,in 5mm 160/90 is ideal for me,in thinner 4-4.5mm then 155/85 is OK.I prefer the thicker 5mm calf leathers.In OEM Gators,115/95 is also OK,but could have had slightly longer tail.The OEMs of 115/75 is simply rediculous,even for smaller wrists.Stock length should have been at least 120/80.

I have a 7" Wrist and wear 85/145 to get that peaking at you tail when looking face on at the watch. I am tempted to go the extra cm and also if it is a blunt ended strap it looks longer as the taper makes it appear shorter.

Picture shows the OEM from the 232 and a 80/145 alongside.

My tail love varies from day to day. I like from oem regular to almost to the lugs! I don't wear the almost to the lugs to the office, strictly weekend wear for me!
