TS, I think 372 suits your wrist size better, looks better too.

My wrist is abt 6.5, else would love to get the 372.
Actually 372 wear like my 233 infact more comfortable due to the case is slightly thinner. I bet you will like the way it fit your wrist. Go and tried it out.

Why not???? The Boutique Editions are all the same.........only difference is the back cover case with the various designated cities etched into the metal. IMHO (and I own a 416), these Boutique Editions aren't really all that "special, limited"........there are thousands of them with the only difference being the different cities designated on the back cover.

Don't get me wrong.........I love my 416 and wear almost daily. If you're that tied to Firenze, get a picture and keep it in your pocket.

Cheers

DOUGHN, given your wrist size, the 372 is the way to go.

From what I'm seeing secondary prices appear to have settled @ 15% or so below list... the O series announcement rocked the boat a good bit.

BIG time. I think when it came out people were holding on to their N's thinking they can make a quick buck if PAM were to make the model a limited production. Now that it's a regular production model, the secondary market is taking a hit.

I was excited seeing you say you had a 6" wrist, and it is such a perfect fit. But I realize now it's not... Haha

I'll go try out the 372 to know for sure, can't get it out of my head.
So many wants so little dough.. How?

The 390 is a great alternative for the 372, but I have the 351, and find the gold hands + tobacco dial limits the straps option if I need to dress up the watch.

Good value in the future - Tie with a slight edge to the 390 since demand is holding strong on the secondary. When the O series was announced the 372 took a bit of a hit on resale due to supply exceeding demand on the secondary. That being said, the watch is so damn good I have no doubt it will hold value & appreciate over the years, a little more aggressively if they end it with the O's. The 372 is the purest example of Panerai DNA available in a modern piece, you can't improve upon it in any way I can think of given the design intent. For that reason, I see it as a very sound place to park your money if you plan on holding for atleast a few years. As for me.... I'm never selling mine.

372 for me once again, and I have 2 390's one of which I only wore once so far.... I just reach for the 372 every time !


Prices have stabilized on both, 390 will be south after down the road indeed but mark my word, the 372 in time to come will increase in value big time and be in the same boat... It's just too good, just watch and see !

I'm a 6.25"! It fits beautifully. I'm serious. No bias. A Japanese guy watching me try it on at the boutique minutes before I actually bought it was standing almost literally on top of me admiring the watch. It looks beautiful on any wrist. It's a beautiful thing!

Amazing the way Panerai prices have fallen on the secondary market. I imagine people that paid 10k+ for a 372 aren't very happy now.
