I know I know its tiny! but I have tiny wrists and this thing fits like a charm.
It came with a black rubber strap plus a brown croc. I already have 2 new straps on order and if I find more I will order as they come along.

So far so good, its a H series (2005 I believe) and has the box and all documentations. I also got a Tourneau warranty which runs out in 10 months

Great looking Pam!!! Congrats!!!! 40mm is not tiny!!

walds11 · 21 February 2008, 11:54 AM

Sol, nice one. The 48 was my first Panerai. Went through a bunch of 44mm models and jumped out of the brand. If I go back, I will most likely get another 48.

dman · 21 February 2008, 01:23 PM

Great choice and IMHO it beats the 44mm in one way all day long, it doesn't say automatic on the dial!! Enjoy that beauty.

applebook · 21 February 2008, 01:51 PM

Fantastic! 40mm is the logical choice for smaller wrists.

frostie · 21 February 2008, 01:52 PM

Congrats on the watch

Solo118 · 21 February 2008, 02:14 PM

Thanks for the kind words. The strap changing makes it fun as well!

watchlady · 21 February 2008, 03:58 PM

Nice watch congrats! Do you like the croc band?

mailman · 21 February 2008, 08:21 PM

To be totally honest I do not like the color of the croc band. Its brown but I would rather black. I ordered a smooth black leather band as well as a light tan colored band from a guy i saw on TZ.

I found a great guy literally around the corner from me (panatime.com) which I got a screwdriver from and since he has a great operation I will pick up a black croc (white stitch) as well as a honey colored in the near future.

Teofilo · 22 February 2008, 06:49 AM

Congratulations on the Pam 48 Sol. The 40mm size is just right in my opinion.....the classic size for a man's watch.
I know most Panerai fans go for the bigger sizes, but when I get one it will definitely be a 40mm......probably a 241,possibly a 244, or maybe a 48.
I tried a 283 on the other day(40mm blue dial, titanium bracelet).

When you have had the watch for a few days, let us know how it wears.....

BigHat · 22 February 2008, 07:31 AM

Congrats !!

Now stand by for a crazy strap fetish. Sounds like you're well on your way with two on order.
That's also a nice thing about the fairly sedate and neutral coloring of many Pannys. For a couple hundred bucks you can get a strap that generates an entirely different look.

Lol-x · 22 February 2008, 09:14 AM

Congrats on the new Pam.

bgriz · 22 February 2008, 11:25 AM

Nice watch.

mdx77 · 22 February 2008, 11:36 AM

Great piece, wear it in good health!

watchlady · 22 February 2008, 12:25 PM

I'm interested in seeing the new straps when you get them. Enjoy the PAM!

JBat · 22 February 2008, 02:31 PM

Congrats on the Panerai, Sol.

It's nice to see they work for the slender wristed among us, of which I am one.

They've kind of scared me off to this point, due to their size, but yours looks great.

You should definately look into a 40mm model! There are a few different models including a power reserve and GMT model.

etp095 · 22 February 2008, 03:06 PM

great looking watch,might be my next watch purchase.

SPACE-DWELLER · 22 February 2008, 07:54 PM

That's a nice looking PAM, Sol!

Congrats!

vukotab · 22 February 2008, 08:36 PM

Great watch and proper size.40 mm is,IMHO,best size for men`s watches these days.

Shade · 21 November 2010, 01:44 AM

Just wondering, what's the width of the lugs or the strap? Is it 20mm?

22mm.

ocwatching · 21 November 2010, 04:24 AM

oo7 · 21 November 2010, 04:34 AM

Nice. Try a Chopard Gran Turismo XL for size... it should be on the shopping list too. IMO
