Need Help 6.5 Wrist

[russ]

I have a pam 50 for my 6.5 wrist. Would really like to buy a 111,183, 177...you get the picture, I simply love the simplicity of the Panerai. My only concern is that the larger watches will look too big on my wrist.

What do you think?

PAM009 on a 6.8" wrist...

A Davidsen?

My wrist is 6.75", and is a perfect fit for 44/45mm models (I have an 001, 118, and 183). I use Don's short straps, or custom lengths from Banda. The look can be quite different, depending on whether your wrist is rounder, or flatter in shape (fortunately, mine is quite flat).

Mmm. Very tasty.

6.75" wrist here too... Panerai fits perfect on my wrist. My Omega SMP Pro is now too small andthe Sea-Dweller looks like a girl's watch on.

I can not, although, wear a Fiddy or any 47mm+, they just look cartoonish on me IMO

avitt is correct though, there are different types of wrists and all above atributes will contribute to the aesthetics of the watch you're wearing.

I also think that your build AND what clothes and how you wear them will make a big difference.

6.80" wrist size too....44mm Panny sits perfectly on my flat wrist and buddy says I can surely pull off a 47mm fiddy as I am 6 footer with 195lbs.....I guess size and built does matter

Hey Pug,

Not very hairy arms there! Do you shave?.... or wax?

Neither, I just attract the ladies.

There's no evidence of ape-like missing-link ancestors in my recent family history, if that's what you mean. Piltdown Man didn't charm my great-grandmother.

I have a 6.5" wrist, and tried on a 44mm model in the AD. The salesman nodded (more a tactful tilt of the head) when I asked "does this make me look like a clown?" Hmmm...

[offshore]

Sounds a bit like " Does my bum look big in this?"

To which there is no right answer

@Puggy

Hope you know i'm joking... especially if I ask about hair on the 3rd knuckle??

I think it's fairly obvious I know you're joking.

Hey, do you know why Offshore wears platform shoes?

To stop his knuckles dragging on the floor.

*Pugwash runs and hides. He's an ape of a man that can pound me into dust with those big ape-mitts of his.*

So maybe you and I better stop thread crapping, and get on with some serious discussions.... about apes and evolution.

Where can i find the davidsen watches?

[azgjav]

nothing wrong w wearing a 44mm on a 6.5" wrist..i'm a scrawny asian w a 6.5" wrist and can pull the 44 and 47 off pretty well imho..

44mm..

47

Yeah, sorry about the thread-crapping.

A Panerai works fine on a 6.5" wrist as long as you wear it right. As long as the straps don't go inwards under the watch, you're fine. 90deg or more is the angle you want. Let me do a drawing ...

[azgjav]

agree w puggy..u can always wear it on a thick strap to offset the angle a lil if u think the watch is too big..

[russ]

Thanks for all the great pics and responses. I guess I'm going to treat myself to the 183 for Christmas and then...

7.2" inch wrist here and I think the 44mm Pams fit perfectly.. (45mm radiomirs as well)

I had 47mm Pams but didn't looked very nice..
