Chinnyman 0 Posted October 17, 2012 Hi People Found this site indirectly from watchesbyjames. Glad I did!!! Looking for a new watch that can fit my skinny 6.1" wrists!! My currency watch doesn't look too bad but in the market for a nice Panerai. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Luthier 1 Posted October 17, 2012 There's tons of 40mm PAMs, even my wife with 6" wrist has one, fits perfectly. Welcome to the forum! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
avalosc 0 Posted October 17, 2012 A Panerai is probably way too huge for your wrist to be perfectly honest. There's tons of 40mm PAMs, even my wife with 6" wrist has one, fits perfectly. Welcome to the forum! Nevermind, If Luthier says it looks fine, it looks fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Welcome to the forum! Nevermind, If Luthier says it looks fine, it looks fine. I'm gonna have a look at one first and see how it goes. It's hard buying a nice watch with these wrists!!!

One solution is to work out those wrists. I play tennis, so I usually do specific work for my wrists. My left wrist is now 7" and my right is 7.25" Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Chinnyman 0 Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks peeps. Shall I look for 40 mm watches then? Or is it a case of seeing if it fits? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hazz 0 Posted October 17, 2012 When it comes down to wrist size, a bigger watch can be worn if the strap is correct, a good quality hand made strap, can make all the difference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
hnic 1 Posted October 17, 2012 40 or 41 should be okay even some 42 models Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wat44 0 Posted October 17, 2012 38mm is fine Vintage Rolex is perfect Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chinnyman 0 Posted October 17, 2012 I just tried on a black Tag Carrera and it looked ok. Black seems more subtle in the large shapes. Off to find a good dealer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Crusader 0 Posted October 17, 2012 Sometimes the thickness of the watch is more important then the diameter, it really depends on the watch itself. 40mm Panerai may sound small (compared to the 44mm), but it's doesn't wear small, it's quite thick for its size and wears bigger then Submariner for example, especially if you put it on the bracelet 22mm. Have a look around and just try out few models, you can always sell them here with small loss Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chinnyman 0 Posted October 17, 2012 Thanks for help, I'm keen on the Carrera but love the look of retro Pans. Interesting that you say they are quite thick, the photos are deceptive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Crusader 0 Posted October 17, 2012 Carrera Date in 41mm would be great choice, the one with red second hand. The bigger, Day-Date might be too big, because the lugs are quite long and pointy, not so comfortable on the wrist. 40mm Pams are quite thick, here is one on my 6.6'' wrist: 41mm Omega for comparison, only a 1mm thinner then Panerai and it wears smaller: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chinnyman 0 Posted October 19, 2012 Cheers for help guys, so helpful!! pans look ace but too big for me!! i really like the look of them though. Are Getats watches thinner? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chinnyman 0 Posted October 19, 2012 Also is a Movement: Asian 7750 automatic chronograph movement safe to go for? Ive read a few bad things about it on here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NFleischer 4,355 Posted October 19, 2012 Yes - A 7750s are quite reliable and can always be serviced if needed. Welcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
