I went into OP Singapore for a look at the 372 but I was shown one of these also. I've never been a fan of the Radiomir. Until now.......

MonBK · 24 September 2016, 08:15 PM

I think it does.

Sublovin · 24 September 2016, 08:44 PM

Yep, works great! Man, those blue dials are stunning

Thanks you

They are indeed amazing. This one is on a limited run of 500 pieces and they're boutique only. They've had three and sold them all and now they have three left. I am unfeasibly tempted.

I mean, we have to control for arm hair but I think it does! While I like many of the new blue Pams that's my favorite.

Thank you. It's a 690

nick c · 24 September 2016, 09:37 PM

Cru will say you certified for 47mm^^

oldsalt · 24 September 2016, 09:40 PM

Yep - works on you... go for it...

cheers

masterserg · 24 September 2016, 09:41 PM

Perfect!

Mr Daytona · 24 September 2016, 09:58 PM

Yes, it works.

1William · 24 September 2016, 10:02 PM

Yes, that is a stunner. The blue dial is strong.

red1108nyc · 24 September 2016, 10:13 PM

Certified. Time to bring the beaut home before it gets sold away!

brandrea · 24 September 2016, 10:14 PM

That's a beauty and it looks perfect on you!

IMO the Pams don't wear as large as the size would indicate. I recently tried the 572 on, which is a 45mm reference. It looked much smaller than I thought it would for its size. Maybe due to the micro rotor and thinner profile.

Regardless, the new radiomir line is beautiful, GO FOR IT

Ian Macdermott · 24 September 2016, 10:18 PM

Suits you Sir

Go for it Paul.

Nyquist · 24 September 2016, 10:39 PM

jcbarrientos · 24 September 2016, 10:48 PM

Chadridv · 25 September 2016, 01:35 AM

Wow beautiful watch!! It seems to fit well! Let's see a point of view shot looking down at the wrist. That usually helps to judge the size. Like this one please...

Cru Jones · 25 September 2016, 03:05 AM

Oh man, 690.... one of my absolute favorites of the recent batch of PAMs! Really perfection for the 1940 Radiomir case!

If I were in the market, that would 100% be the one I'd want (Well that and 643).... Especially if it looked that good on me! It really fits you perfectly.

That all being said, you already have a really nice blue dial PAM....And since you also have a couple of the more modern Luminors, I'd take a look at the 232 if you really want a 47. Really pure and simple and, while 47, the thin case and wire lugs make it wear well.

Just an idea....

Of course, I probably would have walked out of the AD with the 690 if it looked that good on me regardless of my collection. It really is that special, IMHO.

locutus49 · 25 September 2016, 03:10 AM

You got the wrist to wear that monster. Looks great.

Dr.Brian · 25 September 2016, 04:15 AM

You can definitely pull that one off.

Speed · 25 September 2016, 04:16 AM

Looks good! Number 3?

Johndong888 · 25 September 2016, 04:56 AM

I thought a 47mm wouldn't work on me either. My wrist size is a 7.25" I wouldn't have it any other way now. Glad I picked the 372 over the 510 as my first pam

I wear it with the taper strap now so it makes it feel "smaller" The straight 26mm does make the watch feel big. Regardless, it looks great on you.

extremeride22 · 25 September 2016, 06:22 AM

It looks kind of big on you. That said who cares it's what ever turns your crank. Cheers.....

kilyung · 25 September 2016, 11:16 AM

Thing is Chad, I always find those shots misleading as they tend to make the watch look far bigger than it is. I typically run the shot that I did as it's more realistic and shows how the watch will look to others.

That said, I'll probably head back to OP next weekend and have another look-see and then I'll take the wristie you're asking for.

That 351 looks pretty cool on you. Now have someone take another shot from six feet away

Wow, that was even more of an enabling post than I thought

I had a look at a 232 earlier and it's not really for me. I wasn't particularly looking for a 47mm; in fact, I think that size is a little too big for me but from the photos, the domed crystal seems (to me at least) to make it wear a little smaller.

I absolutely love the blue dial of my 689 and the 690 is no different. Many folk on here have multiple Subs, GMTs, SDs, Explorers etc. so I don't see why I shouldn't have two blue dial PAMs

Thing is, if I hadn't sent all my savings home on Friday morning (taking advantage of the weak £), then I almost certainly would have walked out with it

My wrist is 7.25" also and I thought 44mm was my absolute max but the 690 did feel very comfortable.

The only thing that puts me off is the spring bars holding the strap in place. It could be a nuisance changing straps and there's the worry of one of the bars failing.

Any thanks again for all your thoughts guys
