Totally agree with you, Nico!
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 and an amazing strap I would have all the look I was hoping for, but if I were choosing brand new today, I would choose the 720.
Panerai Radiomir PAM 720 or 721?
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 ...
The 721...
is 1000 times nicer than the 720, so please wake up Mr Nico and think the same 😜
One more vote for the 720
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.
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
720 is absolutely fine
Do not shoot me but IMO the 721 hits too close to the Panerai "homages" out there
I chose the 721...
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
... 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...

Dont forget a whole lot of patina.
Sterile dial and pristine just isn't gonna do it for me
720 all day long...
because if that lettering is good enough for the fabulous 3646, it’s good enough for me !
PAM720
... for the same motivation. Seems that your come back to Panerai looks like=PAM372+ PAM720?
You know which camp I’m in
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 didn’t try to emulate the red-patina’d lume from the original Type C’s nor the darkened engraved writing. A fail unfortunately, IMHO ...
Rather like this one:

Hmmm...I think I've seen this watch posted elsewhere before
It was not made by Rolex or Panerai. That should tell you all you need to know.
I think there is some confusion to my original post
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...
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...
Hehe A man after my own heart..
Yes, the 720 font/wording is beautiful a la 372. Quite the modern pair if you ask me.
i had the same problem..... ihihihi
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...
Lettering is nice. But it’s what I can enjoy on almost any of my Pam’s.
This big dial of a 721 with nothing on it it’s something unique. To me it’s not even unique it’s just f... nice to look at. But understandable if Die hard letteristi prefer the 720. both nice watches. In this case i might actually go for the 232.
+1 with Ahoi !
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. 😊 It‘s pure. It‘s clean. It‘s simple. Pic from today: And if you want to read „Panerai“, you will find it on the inner case ring at 12: Best Thomas ...
