What do you guys think? Too big? Fits just right?

Buy it??

dalip · 26 January 2013, 07:40 PM

Looks great to me Joey......One option as far as I can see

Cru Jones · 26 January 2013, 09:19 PM

Lookin' good!

If you like the look and aren't worried about the composite, it's a great choice.

Watchdog · 26 January 2013, 09:55 PM

Great watch!

patb · 26 January 2013, 11:57 PM

I think it's way to big for your wrist, it looks like you're wearing a wall clock.

zlin08033 · 27 January 2013, 12:05 AM

Looks very good on you, go for it!

wingku · 27 January 2013, 12:31 AM

Buy!

kilyung · 27 January 2013, 12:38 AM

Looks good.

Joey_V · 27 January 2013, 03:28 AM

It's not too big right? IRL it looks smaller on my wrist but the camera lens makes it look the opposite. I was looking at it and my wrist had some space beyond the lugs to my eyes but a little less so in pics (though I still have no lug overhang).

I mean, I think this is how a radiomir is supposed to look based on other people's pics right?

Survivor · 27 January 2013, 03:36 AM

I recently sold my 425, first Rad I had ever owned. The watch, particularly the dial, was one of the nicest and most stunning I had ever seen on a watch. My problem, however, was the 47MM size.......it was just too big on my wrist. I know many on this site will just say buy it, 47MM is Panerai DNA, blah, blah, blah, but, honestly, its just too big for you..........just my .02!!!

As far as the watch itself, its gorgeous!!!!! Good luck, whatever you decide.

Joey_V · 27 January 2013, 03:48 AM

In my head, I felt like it fit just right... I dunno... Maybe cold feet.

Palmasea · 27 January 2013, 04:04 AM

Looks good to me...if it were 47mm perhaps it would be too big!

sea-dweller · 27 January 2013, 04:40 AM

Looks good!

Yeah that what I thought... 47mm is too big.

Thanks guys... I think you guys are right, it looks good. I think this is exactly how a 45mm Radiomir is supposed to look, big but not overhanging the wrist.

Alright, it's on my list officially (see my sig).

MCHI09 · 27 January 2013, 06:27 AM

Looks great. Not too big at all

Glad you like it and for the record you could do a 47mm rad easy! Your wrist is larger than mine it appears and I'm 108% fine wearing my 47mm Radiomir.

Can't wait for some wrist shots. I'm pondering the 504 myself!

Psmith · 10 February 2013, 07:12 PM

Looks perfect!

Legno · 10 February 2013, 07:16 PM

Looks good but thought to let u know that changing straps is a PITA... And in no time you'll end up with SS lug screws instead of the black ones. If that's ok, I'd say go for it. Cheers

The size is totally fine. I'm personally not fond of ceramics, PVD, etc though.

One Ping Only · 11 February 2013, 06:39 AM

It borders on too big IMO. It may be the camera, or the contrast of the all black case. I toyed with a 292 as my first PAM, but decided it was too much at the time. Now I think i could pull off a 47...
