Luminor v Radiomir for skinny wristies

[pamegalex]

As the title suggests, I have girly skinny wrist (6.25" to be exact)

I used to think that PAMs are generally for big wrist seeing as I would normally never wear anything above 42mm. However I did pull the trigger on a 359 and I must say that it looks just right on me.

Now I'm in the midst of getting a few more PAMs to add to my collection (089 and 057). I would love to add a Radiomir to my collection too especially the 532 that I'm absolutely in love with. But the only thing I'm worried about is how would the massive 47mm would look on a 6.25 inch wrist of mine. I very much love the 372 too and would've got it by now had it not be a 47mm that stopped me from pulling the trigger on it.

So what do you guys think? Would a 47mm 532 look 'smaller' than a 47mm Luminor PAM? Or I should just avoid anything larger than 44mm as to not to look totally ridiculous?

Been at it for some time tbh. Haven't came across anyone as ambitious as me to wanna try and pull off a 47mm rad with a 6.25" wrist lol. Closest was some guys over there with a 45mm rad that suggest I should be thinking bout a 292 instead.

On a separate note.. You've got quite a collection there flop Some of your pics just makes me jealous lol.

I have the PAM372, PAM364, PAM382 and PAM389. All 47mm and don't look a bit out of place on my 6.25" wrist (yes, we both have the same small wrist. hehe),

47mm is a tall order I would think but then again it depends on what kind 6.25" wrists. Some have them skinny but flatter and other fat but slimmer on top, if that makes sense to you..

My collection merely reflects the amount of money I've wasted on this damn addictive hobby...

Yeah I get what you mean. I have a pretty flat wrist and imo that's the only reason why the 44mm doesn't look out of place on me. But I've heard that generally the rads do wear smaller than the lums, especially when compared to the bulkier 1950s cases. Not sure how true that is.

Luminors fit better IMO
