Re: PAM 577
Maybe a 48mm Rad wears about the same as a 47mm Luminor Not sure why they'd go bigger than 47mm, however. That seems to be about the max that anyone can reasonably pull off. .

I hope it is too big for most....then maybe I could pick it up for a decent price.

Panerai do the best ceramic watches IMO.

Excellent design. Annoying size.

44mm would be perfect. I wonder if the movement bridges and plates are tinted, or they just tinted the sapphire back? I'm honking the latter

Re: PAM 577
^thinking, not "honking"
Re: PAM 577
Some early ceramic models had PVD'd bridges, but all recent models have a tinted crystal.
Re: PAM 577
I typically wear smaller sized watches and look at vintage watches online nowadays, but for some reason the idea of getting a large PAM back in the collection always pops into my head. I don't think I'll be getting anything like a 47mm 372 again any time soon (even though I love(d) that watch). But I keep finding myself looking at these ceramic PAMs. The 577 looks really sweet but the like most people have said here, the size if off-putting. My current dream of an "unreasonable splurge in the budget watch" right now would be a PAM 317. 44mm is a size I think I can still pull off.
Re: PAM 577
I was in Italy last year and a 60'ish guy walked by me pushing a stroller with a HYPER hot woman about half his age at his side. Both were very stylishly dressed (unlike me) and he was wearing a giant PAM on what looked like an ancient leather strap loosely on his wrist. The watch fit the scene perfectly. It was the first time I understood the 'watch as art' feeling.
Most of us are too active for that and aren't comfortable with such a large watch. I know I am. I get it, though... Pretty cool if you can play it.

Re: PAM 577
Dumb size. Do it in a 44mm and you sell a ton of them...and you could probably charge more for them.
