I have a sneaky suspicion that the 372 may be slightly on the bigger size after my event in May..... But hey, it's Panerai, so it is supposed to be big

It isn't an office watch, but I have been pondering it more and we have same wrist size.

But I've also been pondering a 232....

Still waiting on 390 call though....

but will it wear nicely? I got rid of the 249 as it just was not user-friendly..
the 339..I am keeping as it wears smaller due to its flatter case and light weight..

ARGH!

No worries. I hope it is meant to be.

That 372 is so sexy looking. I don't think you'd lose anything if you bought it and were "forced" to sell. It is such a good looking watch, but if you thought the 249 was big, this one is bigger!

It actually felt quite alright IMO. Def comfortable than anything else.

I wouldn't wear with long sleeve business shirt too often though

Here is a pic of it

Phil- the posts I've been reading indicate it wears more like a 44mm LUM due to the quasi cushion case resemblance. You've tried one on though, so you know better than me. I certainly can't tell from your pic how if wears on your wrist though since it was a close-up.

My $.02 says Panerai is meant to wear large and isn't generally for everyday wear. There are references that you can, but it's not there schtick. I say GO FOR IT!

I found that it wore really well when I got the chance to wear it for a while last month, certainly wearing a bit smaller than other 47mm PAMs. There is so much to like about this piece, and if you are on the fence I highly suggest taking the plunge!
My wrist is a skinny 7" BTW.

You all ain't helping...you all should be talking me OUT of this piece..

ie..the 47mm looks silly on you Phil!

I know..the drool factor on this piece is off the charts...

Phil,

The watch is too big for you to wear with a suit or business casual, but would be perfect with jean/shorts and casual shirts on a big vintage ammo strap. Seeing how you already have enough watches for these more formal events, the 372 will have it's own place and time to be worn.

Sincerely,

The TRF Enabler Team.
