Mike, I've tried 44 mm many times. As other member in the forum said, I found that 44 mm luminor case sits better on my small wrist compared to 44 mm 1950 case due to the thickness and bolder base. Looking forward to have 1 one more piece with 44 mm luminor case :)

it depends on how your wrist is! my wrist doesnt work out with 1950 case with automatic movement, unless its the 392 with smaller, lighter and thinner case compare to another ones like 312/320.

I prefer the 44mm Luminor cases. If it's an addition to your collection, it makes for a nice wearable clock for rotation. Pani's are big, embrace it.

Have some of you guy's saw in person and or felt/tried on the 392? 42mm isn't small, yes.. I don't have the largest wrists, and I think a GMT II C or Sub C looks great on my 7" plus wrist.. I did however think the 392 was SMALL, it looked and felt like a women's PAM to me :/ Not sure why or what it was about it, but in person you really see the difference in size!

I think it may be a matter of proportion, ratio of height to diameter. I personally have no issue with a 40mm PAM and am considering the 392 as well since I have the bracelet and a ton of straps @ 22mm.

My wrist is a lil bit < 6.5 inches. and it fits me fine and more comfortable than 312 since 392 is lighter, smaller, and thinner case compare to 312. and to me, the 392 dial is nicer and more balance compare to 312. pictures better than talks:

Congrats buddy on the 392! I have put a deposit on one will collect for my birthday! Chose the 392 over the 337, had the 210 previously but it didn't look right so flicked it.

And, for the record, the 22mm lug bracelet for the 241 (40mm) CAN be attached to the 392 since the lug width is the same and the pins line up fine, but the case of the 392 is 42mm, thus the curvature between the lugs is different and there is some daylight showing between the end links and the case. So, yes the bracelet CAN be used-it won't fall off, it doesn't fit quite right and different endlinks are needed to make it proper.

May u know how thick is the 392? Have nt been able to find any info on that sadly. The 312 is abt 18mm. If the 392 isjust as thick but with a 42 mm casing, then I think the proportions may be out.

I really think that life begins at 44 for Panerai
Although I do like the 392 dial - no '9', and with a larger seconds subdial

I had both 44mm (359) and the 392, my wrist size is 6.3 and I can get away with 44mm due to my body build, but it just wouldn't sit comfortably, so now my daily beater is the 392, I think 42mm is perfect for people with smaller wrist, just wear what you comfortable with, what other says or think doesn't matter, this coming from a guy who had both size

i just picked up a 392 and was wondering if the rotor is supposed to be loud when spinning? does it quiet down after time or stay fairly noisy? Thanks and sorry for digging up an old thread.

I tried one in a store and it was very loud. However, the one I bought was not. Not sure what that means or if it really matters. Mine keeps very good time.
