Never thought I'd like a radiomir but.....
Might be time for a new watch. I went to Panerai about 2 years ago planning to buy a black sandwich dial base model, maybe 176. Long story short I fell in love with the cream dial 251 Daylight and bought that. I love the way it goes with ANY color strap.
Now I find myself looking again. I thought about flipping the 251 but prices are down and I really do love it. The 312/320/321 is the obvious choice and has what I want. Criteria are black dial, sandwich dial and prefer in house movement. BUT the 1950 case, while awesome somehow leaves me feeling like I have the same watch with a different dial color. I have never liked the Radiomir case and not given them much thought BUT.... I have grown to like larger watches and my DSSD and Ploprof get the most wrist time. The Rad fills the need for a black dial PAM with everything I want while the watch case will not look like I have 2 watches but just different dial colors. Is there any end to this sickness? What models do I look for with those criteria? Is there any help for a Luminor guy to make the jump to the Rad?
