Icon7 New Macbook Air vs New Radiomir 1940 Case

Let's see which one more comfortable, thin & light weight??? Should i keep the watch or the new macbook air???




















P.s the reason i compare this pam 512 with the new macbook air, because the weight, the thin and the light of pam 512 new Rad 1940 case reminded how comfortable and beautiful looking of my new macbook air is........... Light, thin, comfortable, good looking, not too small at all, reasonable price, but the inside is still great.....

Keep the watch and sell the MacBook while it still runs.

your 372, 127, 233, 312 look much better than this new Rad's 1940 case, Mike! You should not........., but we know that you only get the top/special ones, not this regular ones.

imo, New Rad's 1940 Case looks nicer than the regular Rad's case??? what y'all think???

A 513 or 515 would be gorgeous. I prefer the 1940 case Radiomir lugs to the wire lugs, as on my old 183.

Sell the air, get a macbook pro retina 15". It is slightly thicker, slightly heavier but much better display and performance. NICE WATCH btw... ;)

No. The wire lugs are the Radiomir's raison d'etre.
Though for a PAM lover with somewhat smaller wrists, this would be a no brainer.
