Now that the 253 won in my previous thread, what would you guys pick between the two?

So very different
Hard to compare a radiomir to a luminor head to head
I would choose the 288 though between the 2
(Because of rep accuracy)

+1 on the 288. Seriously though, I hope there won't be a XXX vs 288 thread later etc. ;)

The 288 WITH THE 7750 is one of the most accurate replicas ever made.

The choice is obvious in my mind.

Ive owned both. I found myself not wearing the 288 as much in casual situations as it is very dressy for a pam. It is beautiful and highly accurate.

I liked the blue accents with the 253 and the case shape. I prefer the luminor case to the radiomir also. However, due to the size of my wrists and probably the strap dimensions, it tended to roll over the top of my wrist. I have an 8.5" wrist though.

I guess it depends on where you will wear it more, but to me the 253 is very casual and sporty, and the 288 can be dressy with black croc, or more casual with brown leather. I liked them both, so I dont know if I could make the decision.
