Is this too small?

I recently bought the 41mm Sub and am very pleased with the watch. However, I am somewhat used to larger watches, PAM 44, and Blancpain FF. My wrist is 7 3/8" and very flat as you can see

Not at all. The Panerai’s wear different compared to Rolex.

The perfect watch.
It's not too small nor too big, it's just perfection.

Looks great, but there's always the Sea-Dweller if the size bothers you.

That looks awesome on you! Classic fitting. I'm experiencing wrist envy, mine is about an inch smaller.

Looks fine but have you consider the SD43? You may like the larger size more than the sub.

Not too small for you, but I also think an SD43 would look perfect given your wrist size and shape.

Not at all. If you can clearly read it (don’t laugh, we’re all getting older), it’s not too small:-)

My wrist is similar size and shape to yours if it helps. This is my SD43

It’s small compared to the steering wheel :)

But seriously, it’s fine, looks like my BB58 on my 6.7” wrist.

Thanks everyone, I am enjoying it. I owned the DSSD and the weight and height was just too much. Miss the on the fly adjustability of the DSSD though. That bracelet is perfection.

No, you actually have the correct size wrist for it. It honestly looks big on everyone else.

I think it looks great. I prefer the classic look of seeing the watch head AND the bracelet instead of the more modern "wrist presence" trend of wearing a watch head that just happens to be held on by a usually unseen bracelet.

Your wrist isn't THAT big. Looks like the right size to me.
