Yes,once PAM arrives the others get forgotten.Been there,done that. The best cure was/is to buy more PAMs !!

so here is a pic i snapped wearing my buddies watch today. i believe this is 45mm so it should give you an idea. it sits higher than the pam so it seems a little bigger to me, but still not huge. what do you think? too big? too small?

I think you need specially long straps and a regular, say a bit bigger than regular, case...case isn't the real problem I see cuz you have trouble closing the buckle on bracelets and straps...a large wrist doesn't have to have a huge watch...I mean regular wrist size ppl wear 35-40 watches, larger wirst needs a 44-47 watch, just a really long strap...the watch face doesn't need to like cover the whole wirst up.

my suggestion is the new seawolf steel...reputable, affordable for a PAM client, and built like a tank..oh, and its HUGE...buy that and a custom strap and you will be very very happy I am sure...oh or the 45.5 PO or its chrono...or the Breitling for Bentley beauties...they are bigger than 46mm...there is a new Nreitling chronomatic 40mm which is a lovely watch and there are loads of other Breitling models you will enjoy and even some smaller ones cuz I really think you dont need a very large watch face...you just need a long strap with a 45-47mm watch face...dont try looking for 50+ u-Boats and such stuff...I am telling you...happy hunting

also try a Longines legend diver..I know this is a weird suggestion but it has very long lugs and very long strap....would fit you better than it fits most ppl I dare say :)

This'll do it...

The mighty PAM341 aka 'Radiomir Egiziano', all 60mm of it

Downside is that they only made 500 and it's a tad pricey...
