Wanna get a Pam 40mm watch - which model?

[ladymatic]

40mm will just be nice on my wrist. Any bigger will look ugly on me, and I can't carry it off well. So any good recommendation for 40mm model?

There are quite a few models for 40mm Luminor case.

PAM 0048, 0049, 0051, 0298. 0049 & 0051 are white dial.

Luminor or radiomir?
added functions like chrono/alarm etc?
Which metal?
this would narrow down your choice and make it easier.

I like Luminor series. Pam 48 seems nice. It's inhouse movement, no?

Hedi Klum was spotted with that model: http://blog.lussotime.com/celebritie...rocks-panerai/

My wrist size looks like hers...hehe...

If you don't mind a second hand watch, the discontinued PAM282 is gorgeous. Have seen it for sale on ROC before.

That's a blue dial, isn't it? Still want one with black dial. Super like 372 because of its vintage look. But too big on my wrist

Off topic - you can try Pam 392. Luminor Marina 1950 case 3 days automatic 42mm calibre p.9000

No PAM 48 doesn't have an inhouse movement. It's a popular model for lady though.

If you are as tall as Hedi Klum you might be able to pull off a 44mm

My wife liked the 337 very much when she tried it on. The Radiomir case + the handwind p.999 movement results in a very slim case that sits very low on the wrist and is very elegant.

A different option from all the Luminors that are being discussed here.

I prefer Luminor over Radiomir 40mm is hard to get now. Maybe can consider 44mm. What's a nice Luminor model in 44mm?

Try a 45mm Radiomir on 1st... You might be surprised.

Radiomir's casing has softer edges unlike Luminor's which is chunky n rugged looking so it doesn't look too big on a lady's wrist.

My wife's got a slender figure and she's on a 45mm Radiomir with tailored straps.

It is still possible to get the 40mm Luminor models. Also being ETA based movement they are easy to maintain. Plus you can have fun changing the straps.

You are correct that the 40mm is hard to get nowadays. Wonder what happened? few years back they are plenty in hk and you can get them with reasonable discount... You cant find them nowadays in singapore or kl. But 40mm does looks better on most ladies !

No Radiomir for me...I am into Luminor. No offence to those who love Radiomir, but Radiomir design is a tad odd to me...with the big face and small winding crown. I am going for a PAM because I need a beautiful, simple yet casual enough type of watch...Luminor just fits the bill for its ruggedness on my "dress-down day"

With my small wrist, I thought a 40mm would be an outrageous size on me. A 34mm Rolex is already humogous on my wrist :P

So have you managed to try it on at panerai boutique Ion?

Pam 48, 49, 392 - these all look good to me from the 2012 catalogue...
