720 is absolutely fine

Do not shoot me but IMO the 721 hits too close to the Panerai "homages" out there

Panerai Radiomir PAM 720 or 721?
By: amanico : September 19th, 2019-09:24
I think I am in the minority, here, but after having seen several times the PAM 721, I think I prefer the 720. I know it is less special, with its wording on the dial, but I love this wording, it is not too much, and I find the PAM 721 strangely empty, a ...

is 1000 times nicer than the 720, so please wake up Mr Nico and think the same π

One more vote for the 720
By: paky : September 28th, 2019-14:08
I don't like the 721 for the same reason others like it. Don't like the anonymous dial and what it represents.
I like them both.
By: VMM : September 19th, 2019-09:37
But I think I'm with you, and I would choose the 720 too. The 721 feels kind of empty with such a big dial. I guess it''s just a matter of taste, both look great. Vte

But could have easily gone for the 720 had the 721 been sold out first.

The thing I love most about the 721 is its stark, spare simplicity
By: JohnFM : September 19th, 2019-10:13
... which makes it less like any watch I've seen -- though the point made about homages is a good one! As an old guy, I used to see people wearing fake Panerais in the '90s and some of them were blank like the 721. I wasn't a watch guy back then and wonde...
Totally agree with you, Nico!
By: Brandon Skinner : September 19th, 2019-10:14
The OBVIOUS choice is the 721, but when I had the chance to experience them side-by-side, the cool factor of having an anonymous dial is trumped by the fact it feels like it needs something. Perhaps if the 721 carried 70 years of scratches to the plexi an...
720 all day long...
By: Cpt Scarlet : September 19th, 2019-10:33
because if that lettering is good enough for the fabulous 3646, itβs good enough for me !

... for the same motivation. Seems that your come back to Panerai looks like=PAM372+ PAM720?
You know which camp Iβm in
By: reintitan : September 19th, 2019-13:12
No contest IMHO. The 721 is homage to the Type D ref. 3646 while the 720 is supposed to be a Type C homage. However, they didnβt try to emulate the red-patinaβd lume from the original Type Cβs nor the darkened engraved writing. A fail unfortunately, IMHO ...

I think there is some confusion to my original post
By: reintitan : September 19th, 2019-15:54
The dark reddish lume and dark dial patina engraving is more famously known on the ref. 3646 Type C which is NOT reflected in the PAM 720 homage. Photo credit: Perezscope The 721 pretty much nails the ref. 3646 Type D (or Kampfschwimmer) dial (1st batch w...
I'll go.....

Henry Ford on this one. You can choose whichever one you want, so long as it's the 720
Both nice once. Hard to compare in the boutique. But...
By: Ahoi : September 19th, 2019-15:18
Especially while the strap of the 720 fits better. On the very first look I though as well the 720 with its writing looks better. Until that moment when the 721 revealed her unique beauty of the purest Panerai dial out there . No distraction of any kind o...
My vote 720...

By: Rui : September 20th, 2019-00:21
For me the 720 is irresistible. When this watches were announced, the pictures that surfaced had golden hands for the 720 and 721. Immediately i booked for the 721! Over one year later i received the phone call to pick the 721. Them i realised that the 72...
721 for me
By: Johnny. : September 20th, 2019-08:54
So now 10-9 for the 721 π
+1 with Ahoi !
By: leopold : September 20th, 2019-11:49
And the 232 is a nice reference too ! Hum, humm, why not a little trio with my 249 and my 721 ???
I am late but 100% convinced.

The 721. Of course. π Itβs pure. Itβs clean. Itβs simple. Pic from today: And if you want to read βPaneraiβ, you will find it on the inner case ring at 12: Best Thomas ...
Thanks a lot, dear Nico!

By: Greenwatch : October 2nd, 2019-05:30
I almost sold it via a bundle deal. The deal didnβt push through and the watch is still with me. Glad I didnβt sell it. The watch will remind me of my first Panerai 287, how I got to know our community, and how it eventually became a sore point with I tho...
