1st Pam help

[apeogre]

I went to London this past week and did some watch shopping. I tried on a 112, which was quite nice but the base case was a bit sharp on the corners. Has anyone had any problems with it rubbing on their wrist bone?

The first Pam I ever tried on was the 337 and really liked the size. I'm not much into oversized watches anymore, which I know, Pam is really known for. Regardless, I like what I like. I like the radiomir style but haven't had a chance to try a 45mm on. I'm not opposed to a 45, but my request to all of you, does anyone have a side by side comparison and maybe a wrist shot of a Radiomir 45 and a base 44mm case?

I found 45 radiomir 210 very comfortable.
Base models look great and large size pams are imho timeless.

Not drawn to the square case shapes but there are 3 or 4 more options from pam, best to find a place to try them on side by side.

is this pic, rad looks smaller:



But in this pic, Rad looks bigger:



I think you should go try them all since you don't really decide which one you gonna get. But if you like Rad style, you should get 45mm which is easy to re-sale and perfect size for casual or dress.

Takuya, perspective is everything. The first pic I think is a much better representation of actual size. Toes 1950's cases are very nice, but are just too big for me.

After i've been wearing both styles, so i'd say that pam 1950 case is not my everyday watch (for me only) since i usually wear slim fit jackets (especially real slim fit leather jackets with the slim sleeves and high arm holes) or clothes. so i feel uncomfortable with it. so i'd like to pick Rad style in that case tho.

Sure, large Pam's are timeless, but I just don't like wearing big oversized watches.

How much shorter is the rad than the 1950?

I've had a 112 Luminor & a 210 Rad. IMO the Rad wears smaller and both are very comfortable to wear. Never had any issues with the lugs of thr 112.

Unfortunately I sold them and don't have any side by side pics.

I was wondering about this! Would you say lug to lug and height or just in general? Fits better below a shirt?

Just in general. Both fit below a shirt.

^ Very nice - but it depends on the cuff...some of mine do, some don't.
Looks great, Andres-you should post on the Style Forum.

The length of the 44mm Luminor is greater than the length of the 45mm Radiomir, hence those with smaller wrists can more readily wear the Rad.

I must agree, some cuffs fit fine others do not. You may be able to move the button on your shirts that won't fit. Straps also play a role, none of my Thom. Pink shirt cuffs fit with a leather strap but if I switch to rubber they fit.
