The case is identical. I had a 422. I miss it. A lot. Great PAM.

OP, no wrong answer. The 422 looks great and most people wouldn't tell the difference between that and a 372 at ten yards anyway. If it sings and money isn't an issue, do it

I agree, if it sings buy it. IMO I think it looks to big. (I have 8" wrists and think it looks "ok"/big on me)
I would take advantage of smaller wrists and buy all of the watches that are around 43mm. They have way more to choose from lol |

That was kind of my fear. My wrist is about 7 inches. Some of my other pieces:

Don't do it, it's just too big for your wrists.
I've been there with the 47mm also, as much as I thought it looked fine on my wrist it was really like wearing clown shoes. Except I didn't think they were clown shoes as to me they were just shoes!!! |

You have an amazing collection, you can pull off the 422. Lately I've been eyeing the same model, I love the sub second hand on it. Did you say you have owned the 372 in the past?

Thanks. Yes, owned a 372 in the past. I know it's the Risti darling, but I didn't care for it. Too much empty space on the dial for my liking. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |
