PAM 24 or 49

First Panerai. I have small wrists 6.3". Pam 24 44mm or Pam 49 40mm.
I know its a PAM and its supposed to rock out big style, but I'm ok with the 40mm and chose the 24 because it looks like it wears small.
All input and advice greatly appreciated. Thanks

if you like the 24, you can also consider the 25 (titanium, so, lighter) or 104 or 164 (not subs, but, thinner bezels might make them seem smaller visually?). you can also try any of the classic bettarini models like the 000, 005, 111, etc.

as for the 49, sure, why not, if you want a smaller white dial? note that early versions do not have the "automatic" text. you could also look at the 48 for a black dial.

Are you only considering the 49 and 24?

How about the 392? It's 42mm, so the size is in between the 40mm 49 and the 44mm 24. The 392 also has the in house movement if that interests you.

24 ROCKS! it's my only PAM people comment on. I love the ultra masculine look of it. 25 is awesome if you can find one
