Good luck with the hunt and pre-congrats on the incoming! :-)

Hey thanks Cru. I have seen a few 312 in steel and even had the chance to try one on but it felt very large. It was reminiscent in size to a Breitling super avenger due to its thickness. I’m gonna try to get into the store and do some shopping.

Will keep this in mind. The radiomir at this point don’t quite sing to me, but they are a very nice piece.

IMO some larger ones have better proportions than smaller ones.

This is true. As long as the lug to life width doesn’t exceed my wrist width anything is possible.

Is this a contender for you? The life for sure help to keep the size down.
