Hello Nicolas and ArmisT ! Here my answer with a little delay…
… but I had to find a little time to reunite the watches and take the messures.
This matter about size aroused with the question of our dear Armis who said that 587 and 662 looked different on my wrist.
By the way, my wrist is thin at 17 cms ( aprox 7”).
I measured the cases of these watches as per the following rough drawing (you can see I’m not an engineer! Lol!) measuring from the bottom base of the case to the base of the bezel.
The height is the same in the 587 and 662 and in my 971 not shown in this post.
Also lugs are same shape. So both references 587 and 662 use identical cases.
Both watches use same P 3000 three days reserve movement but the 587 has the original two bridges employed in 2014 and the 662 the later variant with three bridges.
See pictures below:
Then I measured the 637 (crown bridge MM) against the 587 and was surprised the measure same height
Difference is in the shape of lugs. 637 has a downward more pointed shape.
To end my study I compared the 637 with the Big Classic Pam 372.
As suspected both watches share same case and lugs and case height:
My 372 also is powered by the old two bridge version of the P3000 movement.
Last but not least I include some pictures of all four watches on my wrist.
I still think that the type of leather of the straps has something to do with the way the watches “seat” on the wrist and also the shape of lugs.
Of course the shape and thickness of the individual wrist makes a difference!

My ideal Panerai Vendome Threesome.
PAM 372, 587 and 662. Add a PAM 249 Aka Radiomir " California Dial ", and I think I have all I want among the modern Panerai. I wonder how many of us have the same ideal, or even better, own them... Best, Nicolas ...
It’s a beauty and I have a 673
But if I had to pick three, it would be 587, 127, and 249.
Did you call el Diablo Nicolas?
Pam 249 Pam 662 Pam 587 Pam 372 And I add a Fiddy to your choices!! Abrazos ! Abel ...
You have all the bases covered, wow!
Is the case of the 662 different from that of the 587? I ask because the 662 above looks to be flat against the wrist, but not the 587.
Hello ArmisT: I think they use same case, but I will check tonight again and will answer you. The difference in the pictures I feel is due to the type of straps. The 662 was ftted with a very flexible...
... OM straps which allows for a more tight closing but the 587 had a more rigid OM leather with a more loose closing when brand new. Anyway I will confirm later about the cases of each one. Thank you for viewing !! Abel
Sergio compared the 587 and 673
He noticed small differences between the two, but felt the 673 wore more comfortably. I'd guess the 587 and 662 have the same case, but will await word from Abel or Sergio.
Hello John. I did hhe comparison around 2018 but…
… couldn’t find my post or pictures so I’m doing new shots today. Please look for my new answer below in a few minutes. Cheers! Abel
Yes dear Sergio!! Same problem here with management of my…
… watch pictures files!! 🤦♂️ Best cordial regards my dear friend!! Abel
As you know, Nico..
I've never care much for the 662. The washed down 6154 dial never floated my boat. I also think that the 372 is a formidable model and worthy of any Panerai basic collection. For purely personal reasons, though, I would put a 127 or 376 it its place. The ...
As the reincarnation of my favourite Panerai (6154 Angelus)...
I find the 587 as close to perfection as they come. Unless you have the original, this model cannot be missing from a serious modern collection.
After a long hard consideration, just these three and it’s all I would ever want

Excellent analysis and comparison!
Thanks so much for doing that, including the additional cases. This is very helpful.🙏🏽
Thank you so much dear Armis for your kind words.
I’m happy to know you find my post of interest. My pleasure to make the measurements and pictures! Best, Abel
Difference in shape of the lugs
I had suspected they were all the same but did not know about the difference in the shape of the lugs. Interesting! Thank you for taking the time to take measurements and comparison photos.
Hello d-star. My big pleasure to share these shots. Yes, the slight difference in shape of lugs can make a difference in wearing depending in the shape of the wearer wrist.
That´s why it is always so important to check the feel and looks of any watch on our own wrists. Thank you for your kind comment. Best cordial regards, Abel
Dear Nicolas, I thought you liked the 373 a lot too? Not as much?
Not my photo (!) ...
