Hello. I recently purchased a 425 and haven't taken it off in nearly two months. I too, was intrigued by the radiomir case, lack of crown guard as well as something with a super clean dial. In this case dots and sticks. I would try it on (that's half the fun right) and while its 47mm it def wears much smaller. Good luck and hope you find your wrist mate!

Just got mine a few days ago. Been wanting a rad since just having luminors all this time. It's a stunning watch! Simplicity at its best..I don't mind winding every 2days, but if you do, go for 190, the movement is one of the best.Now I'm having a hard time choosing between my 372 and 232.

Btw, your 7.25" wrist is very capable of handling 47mm. Even 52mm IMO. I have 6.5"-6.7" wrist (around 16-17cm) and I use 372 as my daily beater. Though some have round wrist, some have squared one (mine is squared so I have no prob for 47) especially radiomir since there are no fixed lugs which wears so much smaller.

Good choice...a classic base dial rad is tough to beat! I have owned a 210 and can tell you it is a great watch! Aside from the power reserve, it is incredibly close to what you are looking at. It is also an out of production classic. Another pro for the 210 is the fact that it is an ETA movement and can be serviced at many places very inexpensively. Enjoy making your decision...

don't over think it, adam. a 210 well bought is like money in the bank. you won't lose much if anything if you flip.

the case shap and size look great on you.

You need a 'Rose and crown' Adam.

The 6497 can be serviced anywhere and there is no '8 days' on the dial.

Thanks

Hi Adam, had the same thought as you initially, just 1 pam but have 3 now, first was 312 quickly followed by 233 and 2 months ago added 000

Its nice to have a change of taste at times, cheers buddy.

What was the outcome?

Can someone please confirm if the 610 is a sandwich dial or not? Thanks!
