If they made this in bronze I would be all over that watch!

interesting idea... you could write to them, i've had good response from them when enquiring about the watch and shipping. in fact all the microbrands i have e.g. aquadive, helson, crepas ...all have very good direct email service. i've even had some chit chat with yokobies regarding some mod designs.

back to bronze idea - can see it with the all metal bezel with raised markers, but can't see it happening for this one with the sapphire inlay as bronze looks best "naked".

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?

oversized vs undersized...the right size is the size you like... relative to US and Europe, Singaporeans tend to prefer larger sizes. so there's no real answer, lots of preferences...

To compensate for their...???

On that note. It would seem the Singaporean thing to flaunt ones 'wealth' by wearing oversized accessories just to get noticed, it seems.

Having being an Omega fan for the longest time, let me contribute my 2 cents worth on the recent comments.
The older models before the ones with 8500/9300 movements are good value for money as they are well made and at a fraction of say Rolex prices. However the watches with 8500 and 9300 are pushing towards the 10k mark in rrp. They are very well made with state of the art movements but their prices are getting too close to Rolex now and that is exactly what the swatch group wants to achieve. However the watches may be arguably on par or even better than rolex, the perception hasn't caught up.

As such the new Omegas will suffer a lower resale value vs rrp.
For example the new PO retails at $8100 but resale is probably at 4.5 to 5k.

On a side note, to that bro whom wants to purchase the PO, if you don't mind foreign AD set I can get it much lower price than the ridiculous 8.1k retail.

Thanks for your advice!

Currently 392 is out of stock.. so yea, its a bummer to wait. Haha.

Anyway, the 312 doesn't sit nicely on small wrists like mine (6"). Just a small piece of info for people like me.

Cheers.
