If you are looking for a 42mm Luminor with the classic 1950 case design, my vote is the PAM 392. It is a slightly downsized version of the PAM 312: 42mm vs. 44mm diameter case; 17mm vs. 18mm thick case.

Clean, classic dial with 22m wide strap so it doesn't swallow your arm. The weight is comfortable and it has a slightly domed crystal. Ignore anyone complaining about the case thickness and weight - it's nonsense. The PAM 392 wears like a Tudor Black Bay (41mm).

I owned/loved a PAM 233 (still my favorite model of all time), but the 44mm case was slightly too large on my 6.75" wrist.
