Panerai Radiomir 1940 PAM690

Ok, I need to stop looking at watches I think. The beautiful sunburst dial on this one caught my eye in a post someone made on a different forum.

I've noticed that Panerai now makes some smaller watches (or maybe always did and I just didn't pay attention) in the 40-42mm diameter range. This piece is apparently 47mm in diameter, and a limited edition.












A sunburst dial like that on a smaller watch and I could be in trouble.

The hobnail dial PAM 643 is 45mm and has had my attention for a long time - saw it in Vegas probably about 7 years ago. My 47mm PAM was just a little too big for me and the 643 is a little smaller and thinner.

I need to spend some time browsing their website again, because I'm intrigued by this.

47mm is way too big for me also, in fact my 45.5mm Planet Ocean Chronograph fits but isn't all that comfortable. Some have said this is exacerbated by having the flat sapphire case back portion, not to mention the weight. Still love the watch and never plan to sell it but it's highlighted to me my ideal watch size.

Also totally forgot you had a PAM! Either way I think your current collection is fantastic. Hopefully Panerai will read this and make more 40mm options haha.
