My new baby the 392!!

Being a Rolex only kind of guy I went in to buy a SS Daytona. Noticed the Panerai and loved them! But thought the 44 was too big on me. Week later I stopped in again and they had this 42mm 392. Fell in love! Fits perfect on my small wrist and is not too tall. Also love the smaller buckle! Now let the Strap fun begin!

Thanks everyone! I was amazed at the lume in a restaurant last night. It was about 50% dark and the lume was working. Amazing!

Why do you say that? That's apples & oranges. I love my 40mm+ watches but I also love my under 40mm as well.

This will be the only Pam I get unless something crazy happens. The size is simply perfect for me. No 44 or 47 for me. I think its rare when you find perfection in all aspects of a watch and I found in in this one. Still Rolex is my love but I also love this particular pam.

On another note I received received the 5 straps I ordered from Bob's. Didn't want to spend a lot so I just purchased a bunch of inexpensive ones. Don't like the movable loop as its too big. The end stick up and looks funny. I'll need to find a way to make them smaller somehow. Besides that very good quality for a machine made strap.

Looks perfect on you, congrats! I went into a boutique today to try a few on. I tried the 000, 111, 112, 372, and 392. The 42mm fit me best but I thought 44mm would be ok too. Now I just have to decide on what to get.
