RMM's New BBC....
Big. Black. Ceramic.
Beautifully shaped 45mm Radiomir case that sits close to the wrist and the compound curvature (tumblehome) makes it very wearable.
Ceramic case is lighter than SS a tad heavier than titanium.
We expect a certain boldness and presence with Panerai - especially in their Luminor and Submersible cases. With the Radiomir we see the (expected) legibility but paired with a flowing and curvy case.
45mm case yet slim.....no shirt cuff worries with this Panerai
Stark white hands with black edges give them a floating appearance while the White markers explode through he sandwich dial
There is a lot going on with the case design - you have graceful arcs everywhere, you have bottom corners rounding up and wire lugs that point down
At the end of the day it wears like a dream

Re: RMM's New BBC....
That's a cool one. Has Eric figured out if a ceramic case can handle a strap change?
Re: RMM's New BBC....

Does not wear as you would expect a 45mm to wear - it is slim and comfortable not big and clumsy at all.
Ceramic case but has a SS caseback, screws and wire lugs so no worries about the strap changes damaging the case (I hope) - however there are small parts to worry about. I'll report on strap changing when I get a few in.

I was being facetious. Just make sure you use two screwdrivers.

I'm glad there was a black watch in this thread. Being DWC it wasn't a sure thing.

Re: RMM's New BBC....
The wire lugs make strap changing a bit fiddly - small screws and it can sometimes be a bit tricky to re-seat the wire lugs into the case properly - but it's pretty easy once you get the hang of it.rockmastermike wrote:Does not wear as you would expect a 45mm to wear - it is slim and comfortable not big and clumsy at all.

Thank you everyone - I'll test out the OP XI power reserve this weekend (manual wind - 56 hours) and so far the time is spot on yesterday and today

That's a beauty. Did you get rid of something?
