Paneristi says hi.

 

Mine says hi

 

I wanted to ask the paneristis here -

after handling one of the luminors, I was impressed by the solid heft and grew a shine to these guys. I have small 6.5" wrists though, and I think 44mm may be the largest I could ever go. I played with a 47mm 1950 and tried it on at an AD here and it looked ridiculous on me.

However, I *have* to have the sandwich dial (vs the painted dial), and the bubble dome crystal is a huge plus if possible. Now - is there a PAM luminor (preferably with sub seconds) that is 44mm or smaller, but has a sandwich dial?

 

@kertong - There is the PAM01392, which comes in at 42mm...
has the sandwich dial, sub seconds and a small date window,
comes with flattish sapphire crystal rather than domed plexi though.

The 512 is an awesome watch and 42mm as well.

 

Checking in with my 104...



Cheers, Al

 

sandwich + 44mm (Luminor) case + sub second hand = 111, early 510 (later / current 510 has painted dial)

sandwich + 44mm (1950) case + sub second hand + dome crystal = 233

If you want rare and destro, there is a PVD cased 44mm Luminor left crown, the reference escaped me

Besides the obvious difference (3-day ETA vs 8-day inhouse movement), the case between 111 and 510 are actually different. The 510 wears just a bit thinner. And the number fonts are different, the 510 has fat "6".

I have a 114 and 510.

 

If you're willing to consider a Radiomir case, the 42mm models fit well on slim wrists like mine (6.3") - this is a PAM338 in Ti (with sandwich dial) but there's a PAM337 in SS too.

 

Here is a 7 1/2 " wrist with 47 mm. It's the watch that matters. I love it

 

Got this one yesterday:
