the more i see the more i loves this watch.... believe is discontinued right?

This is the new royal oak chronograph at 41 mm. The old discontinued one is 39 mm and has a triangle shaped indicator at 12. :)

Triangle looks weird now that you pointed it out...
but envious you can carry off 41mm for RO, i can only max it at 39mm

now considering whether to go for 26330 or 26120..

I dreamt of the royal oak for a long time... Then the opportunity came up to get the ROC - just had to pull the trigger!

Opinion on Pam

Hello all,

I'm new to the world of Panerai.. and I would like to kindly seek your advices with regards to the sizing of the watch.

Generally, do 44mm Pam's wear this large on a small wrist?

I would greatly appreciate all inputs.

Thank you.

Your wrist looks pretty small (unfortunately). I think it's ultimately up to you whether you feel comfortable with it being 'big' and hanging out. Your wrist looks like a 6" so 44mm should be pushing it to the limit.

Yea.. The lugs are sticking out a little.. I did try on the 42mm Pam's, however it was quite small as compared to the 44mm versions.

Spot on. My wrist is about 6". I mean.. its not that the lugs are sticking out in a super obvious manner.. but its pushing it.

So.. at the end of the day, I have a dilemma.. settle for the 42mm (which IMO, shouldn't be the way because Pam's are meant to be big) and have it fit my wrist properly, or go for the large 44mm Pam look.

Ahhhhhhhhhh

I say it's too big on you. Bulky is the word.

I really liked the 26120 when I tried it on a year before getting my ROC. ;)

Looks like that's on the Panerai alligator strap, which is quite thin and dressy. You should try it on a thick 3rd party strap instead. Might sound illogical but the thicker strap can help to make the watch look balanced on a smaller wrist. :D

Thanks guys for the help!

I'll probably wait for the 392 then..
