I own a PAM 111, have pretty average size wrist just under 7 inches.
For those who own 44mm Luminor and 47mm Radiomir, can you let me know how the Radiomir wears compares to Luminor. I am heavily weighing purchasing a PAM 249 to compliment my 111 but not sure about the 47mm size on my wrist...

For me I couldn’t ever feel comfortable until I tried the 720/1 and somehow they felt right. As ever with Panerai it’s always best to try if you can. Each model is slightly different. 249 is a beautiful piece.

The wire lugs and thinner manual wind movement/case should have it wear well for you.

radiomir with wire lugs would wear smaller.

Agree, best if you try it on as my wrists are about the same as yours. A 47mm just won't work on my wrist (any of the PAN 47mm models). Bob at Panerai's Naples FL store was kind enough to offer me a large bronzo, yet turned it down and we agreed... so the 42mm bronzo will be here in December

The 249 wears small. If you can wear a 111 you can wear a 249. You won’t regret it.

Here's what a 47 mm Radiomir 1940 case looks like on a flat 7" wrist.

Depending on the shape of your wrist it should be fine. As Cru points out, the wire lugs make it wear much smaller.
