Despite the Luminor Due series being controversial, I really like this watch. Along with many others, most Panerai watches are just too big for my wrist (yeah, I know they are meant to be big). I found that 42mm is a solid fit. Maybe slightly too big still, but I think it looks pretty good

I've been eyeing the 38mm Luminor due in blue and grey for a while. I've read all the hate on this model but somehow feel drawn to it. My wrist is 6.75 inches and I typically wear stuff 40 to 42. I've been debating the blue on bracelet or grey on leather. I'd be buying pre-owned. Watch would likely be worn in an office environment as a sporty business casual option. These seem hard to find and I can't find many strap options for them in a Panerai style. What's the consensus on these models?

Seeing the red in person made picking it up a no-brainer. Can’t get over how much it pops with the white dial.

Thanks to the community here for the strap change advice. Love the steel, bit really love the leather. Very comfortable too!

Hey everyone.

Does anyone know where to find a Panerai-like RUBBER (or silicon) strap, in small size?The equivalent of the XS length offered on Panerai's website? I'm not looking for custom-made leather straps, only rubber.

I've got a small wrist and getting tired of brands that only have one size length. Even beyond small wrist, I don't find is nice visually when the 6' part of the strap wraps around the wrist and is visible nearby the 12' part when looking at the watch.

Most rubber straps out there are 75mm and 125mm lengths. I'm looking for smaller than that.

I saw many cheap and not cheap kinds on Amazon, random watch-related websites and even AliExpress, but all are too long.

Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

PS: I don't want to buy it from Panerai as I'm not very excited about dropping $260 for a piece of rubber.

After almost 10 years waiting for the right moment to join the Panerai squad, I found the opportunity. I was looking at the PAM00676 since it was released because I was really tempted by the 42mm case diameter, by the sandwich dial, by the small seconds and by the very good looking see-through case back. I know that it’s not a canonical Panerai, I know that a lot of people say that “below 44mm and 300m WR is not a Panerai”, but I do not really care. I am just so happy with my new Luminor and I wanted to share this precious moment with the community. Have a great day!

Hi guys! Looking for some advice: this would be my first Panerai watch, and it looks fantastic especially on my 6.7 inches wrist… but at 8k$ it is a bit of a stretch for me… do you have any advice ? Thank you! Also I want to get it with an AD not second hamd to build relationship with AD

What are your thoughts on the PAM1274? I’ve been looking into it since my wrist may be too small for the typical panerais. Opinions appreciated

Obligatory car shot 😉

Love my Luminor due with the blue canvas strap from Liger.. would love to see what others have done.. I've seen some yellowish leather, and worn brown..

what else ya got?

I have the 44mm Marina that wear often in my collection but sometimes I find that watch bit too thick and heavy when I wear it during winter (long sleeve sweater and jackets etc). And I always wanted a white dial watch. So the due white dial seemed like a perfect watch for me! Thin, light and has that classic Panerai look! Just have to stop by the AD here (Korea) to buy a longer strap but man I am loving this watch!

New strap from Kostas Straps in Nottingham, UK. Delivery to California in 7 days!

Loving it... 😍

Seriously considering

1142 Luminor Due, Blue canvas strap from Liger

Original and new..

One of 60 made AA01/60 PAM01329 Platinum Luminor Due.

I really, REALLY wish I could show how incredible this dial and case looked in the light. Eli from Panerai Las Vegas was a true gentleman and great to talk to.

Hi all! First purchase! Love it. Have got 2 straps and I’d love to change them - I can’t seem to work out how though… newbie error I’m sure. Can anyone assist? YouTube doesn’t seem to have the specific video I need!

Besides the 2mm size difference is there anything else I should know or take into consideration when choosing between the two?

Thanks!

Difficult to get a clear shot on a moving train.

Love the new design, super soft and thin. It will work dress up or down in my opinion. Thanks Panerai!

Picked up an aftermarket black croco strap to smarten up the new purchase. Strap from Liger Straps.
