New 1305
Couldn't help myself. I always thought that the 47 mm will wear too big on me, but with 7 inch wrist it actually fits pretty nicely and with the revised size, its not bad! I was originally thinking the 42 mm right but this is probably a better choice as it is also lighter.

Thanks everyone!! Just a note to any future buyers of this watch. This watch is great, but the only issue i had was with the leather strap it came with. It's very nice but after a few days of wearing it, i realized that the strap was a bit thicker than my other Panerai watches AND the black color from the strap was transferring to my dress shirt. I wear cuff shirts and when I went home, i saw black colors around the inside cuff areas like you had wiped some dirty stuff with your shirt. So I decided to go back to using the original Rubber Strap. Gotta say, the rubber strap fits much nicer than the leather and it's much softer. Not sure if others had this issue before. But just an FYI.

I have the same watch. The strap that you are talking about is not 100% leather, is some kind of compound , even though is thick it's also very flexible and water resistant ( I'll still take the rubber over this with water related activities though). I did some research about it ( google it, lol ..research ) ....Anyway the back of the strap says CWE, when I google it came back as Cold Water Extraction, not sure if that's the process this particular strap goes through or means something else. I love both straps and I use both and some other ones , lol.... I didn't experience the black transferring to my shirts but then again I don't wear cuff links , they are long sleeves but fun shirts (a.k.a Robert Graham's, Eton, TD's, etc) so it might be that I didn't noticed , maybe ? I don't think so , I think is because you have more friction between the shirt and the watch. So my advise will be directly to people that wears white shirts that are tucked very well to the wrist like cuff links that might increased friction with the watch. Cheers , and enjoy its a beauty Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
