Have my eye on the Pam 721. I have seven inch wrists. It’s a 47mm. Radiomir and my understanding is they look a little smaller due to lugs. Anyhow, any opinions?
 How is the movement?
 Size ok for my wrists? 
Thanks !!!

Here are some google pix I found

If you are having lingering doubts don't pull the trigger until

you are able to try it on yourself at an AD or Boutique. While the 47 mm wire-lug Radiomirs wear smaller than the solid-lug 47 mm Rads and especially the 47 mm Luminors, they are still 47 mm. It might not be your cup of tea on the wrist. No issues with the movement. In my experience the P.3000 is one of the better "in-house" Panerai movements made for them by Val Fleurier, which is the movement supplier for Richemont's brands. The ability to set the hour hand independently in one-hour jumps forw

It looks great on your wrist

So many watch photos are taken from too close a perspective but your second picture shows how it will look from a typical distance. I'm very happy with the movement -- no problems after several years with any PAMs I've had with this movement. Seek quality from a reputable seller and you'll find a fair price -- $10k is too high and the wrong seller.

I have the same wrist size than you and it is OK. My rule :the lugs don't overcome my wrist. [nt]

Look at yourself with the 721 on a full length mirror..

And you'll be surpised at how good it looks on you. Judging from your 2nd photo, you're EASILY able to pull it off. Looking at it straight up from the wrist like in the 3rd photo usually makes it look bigger from your point of view. To illustrate, I have a 6.75 inch wrist and this is how a 372 looks like on the opposite end.. So the 721 on your 7 should be no problem.. Good luck!

try in metal...pictures will not be a good estimation

if i compare the 47mm case size between the Luminor 1950 case Vs Radiomir case, the Radiomir will be thin & flat on wrist but the 'dial' real estate is quite bigger than Luminors. my wrist size is same as you, both Radiomir & Luminor case are comfortable - not too big.

"Here are some google pix I found"

Does this mean that none of those pics is your wrist? If so, what is your wrist size? Mine is 7.25" (18.5 cm) and the 721 fits just right. Sorry, I do not have a head on shot to post.
