40MM Pam for smaller wrists?
I know there aren't any current Luminars being made at 40 MM.Were there any popular ones from the past though?I love the California dial Radiomirs very much, and only wish they had that dome crystal on a 40mm size.

Question on Bracelets and Daytonas
Good morning everyone!I read this website hours a day and have for years. I learn so much from you all that I have very little to post. But I do have a question for you all now. As background, this year is a big year for me ¨C I turn 40, I¡¯m expecting a significant positive shift in my position at work, and I¡¯ve been rebuilding our home that was largely destroyed by the government in the wake of Hurricane Harvey here in Houston (we expect to be moving back into the house in a matter of months, which is a near miracle for our family). For Christmas my wife gave me an envelope with a ¡°buy yourself a nice watch, you deserve it¡± note inside. It was a fantastic gift from a wonderful woman, and I¡¯ve started plotting for the Daytona I¡¯ve always wanted (stainless white dial, it is the perfect complement to my 16610 and my pepsi GMT Master II). However, what has caught my eye on several recent watch hunting trips has been the white gold meteorite dial reference. It¡¯s a beautiful watch and
