40mm PAM...Bad Choice??

**edge591** · 10-10-2009 09:41 PM

Still looking for my white faced watch (sigh) and my choices are slim.
Rolex has the Explorer II and Panerai has two, the 113 and a 40mm white dial with a date.
I have two Rolex at 40mm and various Omega's ranging from 41mm to 45mm (Planet Ocean Chrono). I really don't want another big watch so the 40mm would fit the bill...or I am I wrong???
How does a 40mm PAM compare to an Explorer II at 40mm? Does the PAM appear bigger with or without the bezel?

I don't have a PAM dealer here where I live so I have to rely on pictures. If you have them it would be great.

Just so you know Panerai also has the 114(44mm), 51(40mm w/ bracelet), 251(44mm Daylight) since you have a 45mm PO then the 44mm should fit you perfectly but the 40mm's are not bad choices either, If you want to see pictures and specs I suggest that you visit their website and if you want to get one to call either the Bev. Hills or NY Boutiques.

They are definitely thicker than the expII but looks quite the same size wise. Sorry no pics to compare but hopefully someone will post some. Hope that helps.
