Sitting on the wrist

[B. Doggy]

Does a Radomir sit on the wrist differently than a Luminor? I am desperately hoping it does because I thought the Luminor did when I bought the 104 and traded for the 48. The Luminor seemed just too big at 44mm...

Yes, the bigger 45mm Rad looks and feels much smaller than the 44mm Lums IMHO. At first I thought the Lums were too big for me, but they have quickly grown on me with the proper strap. The 44mm Lum's on bracelets look funny to me now and that was the first one I tried on.

Agree the the rads wear smaller but I really like the old style bracelet. The 236 is my go to watch (black daylight with steel bracelet). I do not understand why but it gets the most daily wear. Oddly i prefer the rads to the luminors and wear the 231 gold rad frequently.

I started out with mostly Lums in my collection, but prefer the way Rads sit/wear/look.
Yeah, the 45's wear smaller and fit better than the Luminors. The casebacks are not as flat and without the crown guard they look smaller.
My collection is down to 2 lum's & 4 rads
