I didn't want anything too dressy, as my collection has veered markedly in that direction over the last year or so.

Radiomir straps (27mm) on Luminor
Hey All,I've seen this covered before but can't find a definitive answer. From what I've read, Radiomir straps won't fit the lug on a 44mm Luminor but it looks like they may fit the 47mm Luminors. Anyone have first hand success?Considering adding a second PAM to the collection but I'd love something that fits my current strap collection if possible. Thanks!
