372 under cover

It under cuff. Who said the 372 does not fit under the cuff?

Do you wear it to the office, too?

Yes, basically you are right. But i work too much so no Time for casual watches .... and the 372 needs some wrist time too.

I love my GMTs both of them.

Why would that be???? Curious. I would have thought the strap is what sets its intended use much like shoes on the man. A semi gloss black alligator strap would totally change the look to formal use.

Looks like a perfect fit, that domed plexi peaking out is most excellent

You must have custom shirts, unbuttoned cuffs, or are just a big guy. I can't even get 44mm Luminors under my cuffs much less a 47mm.

I find cuffs vary widely, even among the same brand. Recent shirts seem to have larger cuffs in general, at least in my experience.

Unless you want to look like an office clown - the 372 is purely a casual weekend dressed down watch

Nice shot. Yes it can be fitted under cover IF you've customized shirt.

Wow, does it really matter what watch you wear to work... or, are you all under some "Dress for Success" office etiquette crap? If so, that's too bad... and you probably have a boss that wears a timex.

Wear what you feel, as watch IS a way to express... YOU!! For me, when the mood strikes, I'll wear my gold Sub (...except when I'm asking for a raise). On other days, I'll wear a 47mm PAM00187 "Subzilla." On WTFO days, I'll strap on my Corum Jolly Roger XL Chrono and wear it conspicuously to staff meetings, just to get a rise out of the rest, and the looks are priceless.

Why do people have to make stupid comments like the office clown one? Why not just keep that kind of comment to yourself if you cannot present it diplomatically? Oh now I see you you make the fashion decisions in the world. Sorry my bad!

So wearing a Panerai makes you the office clown????. Ha ha.....I highly doubt that. What line of work do you work at to form that opinion??? Usually when you are at the top of your career, you wear what you want in a wrist watch as a expression of individuality and as a separation from the pack.

Bravo! Totals agree with you.

Having said that I wear what I want without worrying if I look like a clown ... If my 372 makes me look like a clown to some ... I could not care less. I see smaller watches which are so ugly that I would not wear them if you pay me.

I know a 47mm watch is not the best companion for a business suit but there a days I just want to wear a 372. That's it, then I do it.

i'm guessing as you're from Malaysia you're asian, is it possible on europeans who tend to be much taller and have bigger wrists that the watch may not look that large at all?

To suggest that you'd be the office clown for wearing a 47mm panerai is as dumb as telling someone with small wrists that wants to buy a 42mm model not to buy the girls size

Why would wearing a beautiful watch make you look like a clown?

If it does- I think you may have other issues
