I have a friend who’s wrist is smaller than yours. Guess what? He has both 44 mm (390) and a 47 mm (127 fiddy). For your information, PANERAI watches are supposed to be worn big. Getting a “small” PANERAI would be a, IMO, big mistake.

This thread needs some pictures to convince you. My friends puny wrist on the left. I am wearing a 422.



My 44 mm Panerai



Even my wife is getting into bigger Panerai, seen here wearing my 24 with her red strap, she has a model 48 which is a 40 mm size.



If you have a Rolex, a 44 mm PANERAI does not wear bigger than a BLNR or a Submariner, but it wears taller or thicker, depending on which term you prefer. Look,,,



With the wife again but she wearing the Polar on our trip.



In summary, to be getting into Panerai, my advice is to go big.
