Congrats on your new 425

Along with it's sister the 449 and Cali counterparts - 424 & 448, the coolest Radiomirs I've seen since the 190 & 021...

Haven't been keeping up on the release dates, but glad to see these are coming out. I would likely grab one if it wasn't for the slightest detail I dislike. HUGE CONGRATS!!

Of course, you posted them in lagauvulin16's thread... PIG-City, hehe Thanks for the feedback - the straps do look nice and I always wondered how they felt! Enjoy 'em both

Congratulations. It has an unusually minimalist dial. The markers are very nifty. Is there an emblem on the dial above the 6 indicator or a reflection? Thank you for sharing.

I know what you mean about the Rads. I love these 449, 425, 424 & 448s.
Congratulations!

Never thought I'd buy a Lum, until I met 372! But Rad was my choice! Classy, classic, minimal and chic.
