Sinking into the darkness

I tried an 000 but thinking it was too big wet my wrist with these:



I posted here previously that over time I thought the 40mm too small and I was right:






Thank you, TRF!

Huh? Sorry, but I'm completely lost? What did you do?

Are you showing a 104 and 237 in the first pic or a 48 and a 244?

Then you say 40mm is too small and show a pic of a 45mm 183 and end it with a 1950 Luminor PAM 359?

I'm lost!

looks like those 45mm Radiomir PAM183 and 44mm Luminor PAM359 is too large for your wrist... (lugs over the edges of the wrist)

That's what I get for throwing this up in a hurry.

The idea was that I bought (2) 40mm's: a 48 & a 244.

After a while I thought they looked small.

So, I sold them and bought the 183 & 359.

I think the Rad sits great on your wrist! I just got my Rad last week and the sleekness and wrist presence is very nice!

Enjoy,

Fred

The 183 is one of the must haves in the radiomir category.

My bad photo skills, mainly. I'm surprised to hear a comment like that here - on a style forum it's what you expect.

Thanks - too bad they don't fit my new PAMs.

Welcome to the 359 "club", quite a few of us have them here.

I just put my Ray strap back on mine.

Thanks! No problem sharing. It's the "Era" model from Ray at this address.

He has a ton of nice aged calf options.
