Is this too small?

I recently bought the 41mm Sub and am very pleased with the watch. However, I am somewhat used to larger watches, PAM 44, and Blancpain FF. My wrist is 7 3/8" and very flat as you can see

Not at all. The Panerai’s wear different compared to Rolex.

The perfect watch.
It's not too small nor too big, it's just perfection.

Looks great, but there's always the Sea-Dweller if the size bothers you.

That looks awesome on you! Classic fitting. I'm experiencing wrist envy, mine is about an inch smaller.

Looks fine but have you consider the SD43? You may like the larger size more than the sub.

Not too small for you, but I also think an SD43 would look perfect given your wrist size and shape.

This, I have the same wrist size and the SD43 was the perfect choice but this is a tricky thing since OP stated his eyes are being used to 44mm watches which it dwarfs anything smaller at first but those eyes will soon adapt and the 41mm sub will start looking good.

Not at all. If you can clearly read it (don’t laugh, we’re all getting older), it’s not too small:-)

My wrist is similar size and shape to yours if it helps. This is my SD43

That looks to be a good fit and suitably proportional

It’s small compared to the steering wheel :)

But seriously, it’s fine, looks like my BB58 on my 6.7” wrist.

Thanks everyone, I am enjoying it. I owned the DSSD and the weight and height was just too much. Miss the on the fly adjustability of the DSSD though. That bracelet is perfection.
