Look at this. Ok not a great picture, but who can say it looks too big ... 372 on 6.5" wrist is just fine ... No worries.

HL65 · 15 June 2013, 09:42 PM

Can't say but can say snap a better pic as this one is dizzying.

well, i think you can get the drift ... And having said that ... The picture looks quite cool ... Like art.

I've said it before too. All these close up wrist shots can make the watch look big also. A little perspective makes it look more like people see it.

Also, a thick watch needs a thick strap. This is more important for those with a smaller wrist IMHO. These are only my opinions...you get what you pay for.

Looks a little big with wrist shot...

A little perspective...

Btw, this is not my 372. It's a friends, but I'm considering getting one for my next watch.

it certainly has a lot of presence ,,, but hey ,,, if your comfy wearing it , perfect.

Mik--Looks great on you so go for it!! One of my personal favorite of modern Panerai and a great tribute to the past IMHO!

Mik - good point about a thick strap for a smaller wrist. Today I'm wearing a nice and beefy strap and I almost feel like my 44 Luminor is too small.

Maybe 47 is okay for me after all?

Argh. These 372/422 posts are not good for me.

You're right about perspective. The first shot of just your wrist makes the watch look huge. The shot with your torso makes it look perfect for you! You should get one!

As long as the lugs don't hang over your wrist bone, you're golden!

LOL...these photos are tempting..especially with 372 being a great value right now..

Mike..hope the fires are not affecting you all in CO

Adam608 · 16 June 2013, 07:16 AM

There are lots of guys with skinny wrists around here....

Perhaps you need to exercise them more on an evening

That's why we wear big watches ... Gives a good work-out at least on the life side

Survivor · 16 June 2013, 09:11 AM

Yours looks fine (perhaps 'cause the pic was fuzzy

)....some of the others, well, all I can say is.......gorgeous watches but way too big on those puny wrists

This is exactly why I'm considering picking one up.

Thanks Phil. Other than smelling smoke all the time (indoors as well), we're good.

Not good for me either. If funds become available, a 372 will displace my beloved 000.

Like a 372 just replaced my 002 (B ... Not A)
