42 vs 45 mm Radiomir

Looking for a Panerai to wear with dress clothes.

My 44mm Luminor is both a little casual and too tall to wear with a dress shirt. Does a 45mm Radiomir fit less tall on the wrist?

I've tried them on, but never been wearing a long sleeve shirt at the time - it's been like 105 degrees for the last two months here in Texas.

I appreciate any thoughts you may have.

Though 1mm bigger, the Rad wears smaller given the size of the case and lugs.

My Rad 380 is my dress watch in my PAM collection. It sits much thinner than the Luminor or 1950 cases, and just looks classy.

210/183/380 will wear very dressy with a nice gator.

190/287 Can depending on your wrist as they are thicker than the ones above. It is all about how it fits on your wrist.

210 on top of 190
