if price too much in 372. go for pam 390 or 111.
if you like the 1950 crown guard, go with 312 |

Yeah, the 392 fit great but I think I'm going to go at least 44mm. The more I think about it though the 47mm would probably work too. It'd be proportionate to the rest of me since I'm so chunky haha. I'm going to make some moves though and sell off some knives/firearms to help diversify. Right now I have a small collection, a 16610, LVC, GMTIIC BLNR, and a 42mm Omega PO. I at least want to add a Panerai and one other timepiece. Not sure what that other piece would be at the moment though. |

if you can rock pam 372, then why not?! it's such a beautiful watch, but not for everyone........ and for me, i did try so many times with pam 372. but i always feel like it wears my wrist (6.5 - 6.75 inches & round shape), not my wrist wears it............ And of course, i do really enjoy to see everybody Rocks it perfectly.....
P.s good luck with your decision

Love the thread. Enjoy the hunt. Btw, does anyone else find it interesting how many Panerai lovers have 6.5 inch wrists -- I am another one!

372 is big, but that's the beauty of it. You rock it no matter what your wrist size is. I've definite gone back and forth on this question myself, and I have a 7.25" flat wrist. It's all what you're used to. I find that I'll wear a smaller watch with a t-shirt though... as my "guns" aren't quite proportional with 47mm. But it's all about your own personal comfort with the size.

Curious to know how this plays out. I'm currently deciding what to buy as well (but I'm planning on purchasing a few months down the road) and the 372 is on my list for sure.
Also considering the 388, but lots of room on the list!! |

***UPDATE***
This story definitely has taken a twist! I was at the mall, minding my own business and casually walked into a local AD. I had just visited them about a week ago to check out the Tudor lineup for the first time in person. I totally didn't expect to buy anything but I ended up walking out with a Black Bay! I'm pretty excited about it. Don't worry though, I'm still working on finding my 111.

Saw the black bay, on the vintage strap, couldn't wait to try it on.. So, upon initial reaction? WHOA, why is this thing so light?! Felt like titanium, was strange.. second glance, man this thing looks kind of small? In pictures it looks big and it's suppose to be 41-42mm Tried it on, looked short on my wrist but tall looking down at it, was a strange illusion. Loved the strap, but again underwhelmed by the deployant clasp.. Boy did it feel flimsy and cheap, it was creaking when opening and closing it, maybe an isolated case to just this watch, but still… Overall, it's beautiful , I liked the finishing of the overall case of the watch/dial… not the deployant clasp Enjoy it though, i'll eventually have one to mess around with |
