My wrist size & PAM????

Hello all! I have always been a big Rolex fan and am recently considering adding a Panerai to my collection. Herein lies my issue - my wrists are somewhat small (better the wrist than the alternative, right guys!! ). I recently measured and found my wrist to measure 6 3/4". In your opinion, can I pull off wearing a 44mm timepiece without it seeming out of place on my arm?

My daily wear is a Rollie SS Sub Date which is 40mm. It looks and wears just great. However, Panerai just seems to wear so much bigger.... plus I would be adding an extra 4mm. Any thoughts??

You just need to go to the dealer and try them on.
You would not be the first to wear one with a 6 3/4 wrist.
I just bought a SD which will be my daily wearer but am
ordering a DSSD (43 mm) which I am wondering if it will
work on my wrist.
I will say with Panerai it depends on the model. Radiomir tend
to be most common on smaller wrists BUT they could all work
and I am jealous!

Please make sure to post pics as soon as you get it (you will
get one, there is no doubt in my head)

panerai seem very big until you put them on; they seem to be designed to be big, and just dont look as big on your wrist as you would expect.

There are women wearing 44mm Pannys and they look great on them.
