New PAM?

Thinking about picking up one of the following. Any thoughts from the group are appreciated! 372, 422, 510 or 514. Wrists are 7.25 but kinda feel the 47mm is a bit big. Really like the 510 but love the brownish dials, markings of the others. Good problem to have, I know. Thanks! Any wrist shots are welcome.

best way to tell is to try one on..but I think with your wrist size the 47mm will wear well! it will feel natural after an hour...
have fun shopping...

Out of the models listed, I would go with the 422

I have the 510. Love the simple contemporary case and 8 Days designation.

I have a 6.5 inch wrist and I got used to the 422 really quick.

514 is thin 47mm, maybe its worth a try.

I feel like the 510 is too much like a 111, but that's just me.

It's funny how things work. We think we got it narrowed down to two or even three, then there's a dark horse that comes out of nowhere. Love the Milgauss!
