A Panerai in a 40mm case would be a buy for me.

44 is where it's at for me.
Just make 305 and 372/422 in 44 and you got me + a million buyers.

Agreed. 44mm is perfect for me, and I can easily wear 47mm.

There are several good ones- I've got a 48

I would love a 40-42 MM version of the 233...provided it looked right proportionately..

[ericf4]

i love that micro rotor movement....very cool....this was all news to me, i was unaware of this.

lets see. the only thing panerai has not tried is to make a smaller watch more expensive than a bigger watch. And the way they are going to do it - is to call the watches special editions or limited editions.

but I am sure it is coming, and the panerai fan bois will eat it up.

I've owned and loved a 000 and a 024 but honestly would love to see more options in 40mm with , As Mike stated, the right proportions

I've yet to see that. They have all looked a little off to me.

I agree totally, the proportions are the key here. Overall size does not matter since one can have a large or small wrist, but the overall look and how the lugs, dial, hands, etc. work together is important and in fact key to achieve an aesthetic result.

Then again, the perception of proportions and size are also very much a personal taste thing...

The 48 / 50 black dial is 40 or they have it in white 49 / 51. The 48 was my first.

I tend to have more leeway on the case height when proportions match the case diameter well. The 512 and the 372 are at either end of size spectrum but both hit their proportions very well so they are comfortable to me.

Almost bought a 523 but when I tried it on something seemed off..

I like that one - if I were to get a PAM it would probably be the one.
