Frustrated with Rolex sizes

That’s a beautiful watch. I can’t get past the crown guards though. I don’t like the feeling of it digging into my hand. I guess you avoid that wearing it on your right wrist though. If I were to get a Panerai I’d get a Radiomir for the lack of crown bulk.

...yes, but you see, I'm a Poet trapped in the body of a Linebacker....

Here I am with the opposite problem being too skinny for my favorite watch, which is the Sea Dweller!

Reading this, I can think of only one logical recommendation: the Deepsea Challenge :-D

You aren't alone! I find it too small as well!

Possibly..... purposefully done as a unisex option.

That’s true. As a lefty I don’t have the crown guard digging in. Radiomir is awesome too. Either way, a smaller sized Panerai appealed to me.
