Lol!
Fair enough! Our little dialogue also motivated me to get working on my 'little problem'. A couple of mil watches already departed today with more on the horizon. Need to make room ... for some acquisitions. Shhhh ... don't tell the Mrs! 
That 721 is a great motivator ... but, first, the 1942.
Kind regards,
Dan
Done!! So happy!!
The 721 is mine!! 😀 Yesterday my AD informed me that “my 721” had arrived. So today despite a rather busy schedule I was able to carve enough free time to hurry to my AD to see the 721 in flesh and get the chance to try it on my wrist. What shall I say? I...
Thanks a lot Dan!
I hope the “great mutual understanding” with my spouse will not be weakened too much. ☺️ But I am still far away from two (big) watch cases. Kind regards, Thomas

The VC 1942 for sure is worth to...
...jeopardize the “great mutual understanding” a little bit. 🤗 Best, Thomas
It feels also...
... great on the wrist. Is it due to the shape, is it due to the lugs? Perhaps both. The 721 wears definitely smaller than 47mm. Best, Thomas
I have a 673 too (1950s Luminor case) ...
... which is also comfortable (despite its size) but the lugs are much bigger and stick out significantly farther. There's no question that the wire Radiomir lugs are not only trimmer but shorter. I agree, the 721 wears very comfortably. It does have a ve...
The 673
is a fantastic piece I even prefer over 372 and 587. Many congrats!! Perhaps I will sell my 422 and get a 673 instead of it... Best, Thomas
Thanks Thomas -- the 587 was my grail Panerai for many years ...
... but I started looking for one a little late and they became hard to find. The 673 was available at the time and I decided to go that route. I like it quite a lot but still think about the 587. They are so similar apart from the crown guard and minor d...
LOL‼️
If your spouse cannot see the differences between your PAMs this a huge chance for you. A wonderful initial situation: You can buy a new PAM and your wife will take no notice. This is the dream of many married watch collectors... 😀 Cheers, Thomas
Thank you very much, Fab5119R!
I have to confess I very soon reached my limits to grasp this beautiful work of art in a photo... Best, Thomas
Yesss!
Here some more shots 😊 Just with my iPhone, so please be gracious.... Best, Thomas ...
Beautiful, Thomas..
Thanks for the update! Hoping to read more wearing experience Best, Echi
Update #1
The 721 wears extremely comfortably and feels significantly smaller than 47mm (due to the wired lugs and the shape of the case). The strap felt a little bit stiff at the beginning but - after a short time - has become very comfortable too. I am positively...
Purist coincidence ...
Last Saturday I got mine. One point to complain. The strap is very hard. I changed to another that I have on my strap collection. Sits nicely on the wrist and is a nice conversation subject (the lack of logo). Hard to capture, as every PAM. Congratulation...
Cheers Nilo!!
Yes, many congrats to us. What a nice coincidence!! The strap felt a little bit stiff perhaps for the first two hours. Now it wears very comfortably. You should give it a second chance. Which strap did you choose now? Do you have a more detailed shot? I‘m...
Thanks Nilo for sharing!
What straps are you using for this piece? Agree with you that the OEM strap is a bit stiff, not sure if a black alligator strap or JV strap would look nice.
I use straps custom made by a local artisan...
They are supple and amazing. Check my Instagram (same is as here), I usually refer to him. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you traineract!
Yes, I‘m sure that this was/is a very good decision. Best, Thomas
I think we both have got the same virus...
I‘m glad not to be alone. So this addiction perhaps maybe just barely normal...? 🤡 😳 😀 Cheers, Thomas
Congratulations, very nice Panerai.
I love the look, the size is definitely not for me. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy it. Vte
Thanks a lot VMM,
I have a small wrist and it wears smaller than it looks. You should try it. Best, Thomas
Big congrats Thomas !
it is a wonderful watch, good choice... wear in the best of your health !! Best, mahesh.,
Thanks a lot, mahesh!
We should make a roll call. You have two really nice pieces in your collection: 372 and 721. Which one gets more wrist time at the moment? 😊 Best, Thomas
721 takes most of the weekdays...easier on cuffs
372 is the weekender since I bought it, pretty strong one too. I guess just about 10 fellow purists might have this... Best, mahesh.,
The 372 is a watch
I definitely have to consider! IMO one oft the most desirable modern Panerais. What is your feeling about the 127? If I get the chance to find an unworn piece I might get weak again... Best, Thomas
127 is a gr8 piece....but
the market have pushed the price so high there are many alternatives to it ! stand alone - lovely watch to own, no doubt. having said that, i've a weak knees for the radiomir case, the wirelug & the crown - something nostalgic about it. Best, mahesh.,
Thank you sergio!
I am not sure if I will be able to reduce my happiness in the near future. ☺️ Ciao and servus, Thomas
You are too kind, doubleup.
My happiness outperforms my ability to capture the beauty of the 721. Another humble try... Best, Thomas ...
Yes it is :) huge congratulations from my site too.
Enjoy it and get soon an adequate vintage strap for it. Mine says hellooooo . I like your pics. Well done... ...
Beautiful, simple and solid!
Congratulations! I love that Panerai chose not to have any sort of text on the dial. I think that this is confident, and the watch itself has design cues that is unmistakably Panerai. Looks great on your wrist.
Richard, I think you get to the heart of it!
The design cues are so strong and distinctive that you recognize them unmistakably as Panerai. How many watch manufacturers are able to claim to have reached this status? Thank you for your kind words, Richard. Best, Thomas
I think the size and the cushion case are giveaways!
The branding on the dial is just the icing on the cake. The watch is unmistakably Panerai DNA for sure. Glad to know and see that the watch fits nicely on your wrist. I also have a small wrist and is able to try it on. It’s a beauty indeed! ...
Looks very good on your wrist!
Did you also close the strap? I think it then looks even smaller. Will you take it? Best, Thomas
Perfect!!
Many congrats in advance. When are you going take it home? Please post us a wristshot, when you have got it. Best, Thomas
Anticipation is the greatest joy, but
in this case I am sure your joy will increase once again! Best, Thomas
Thank you, dear Journe167!
Due to the wire lugs the 721 wears very comfortably. Best, Thomas ...
