Lum vs. Rad

So how much "smaller" does the 44mm Lum really wear compared to the 45mm Rad?

I'm getting pretty close to pulling the trigger on the Rad and would appreciate everyone's . I know so many of you out there that have both and I am really not wanting to drive the 2-hours to my AD right now. Plus I have nailed down a pretty good deal on a 183

Thanks!

the rad seems smaller because it's lighter and thinner.
feels better at the wrist.
I have 2 lum, but asap i'll buy a 183.

Wear both Lum and Rad at AD and feel and see the difference. No amount of words on forum will convey the experience of wearing both Rad and Lum!

I like BOTH. But my favorite is 232, and yes Rads for me, please.
