Considering purchasing a Panerai while I'm here in the Caymans...few questions

I'm on a trip in the Caymans and I'm considering picking up a Panerai. I haven't really ever researched the brand that much other than admiring wrist shots of others wearing them on this sight. Here are a few questions:
1. I have a 6.5" wrist. What models work best for a smaller wrist?
2. As a Rolex owner, I understand the way business is done with Rolex discounts on different models. Is Panerai similar?
3. What is the best bang for your buck in the Panerai lineup?

Thanks,

1. 44mm Bettarini case (000, 005, 111, etc) or 42mm 1940 case (512) or 42mm Rad (337, 338).

2. Most ADs will not discount, especially for popular models, but you could expect a free extra strap or two.

3. 000/005/111/112 or 372 pre-owned.

Good luck with the hunt!

I got 15% off hang tag recently on a panerai. Cash changes things. Kirk Freeport has great customer service. Worse they can say is no.
