176/177 and I believe the 240 also. Check out the paneristi.com reference section for all of the models that are in the current lineup.

I think Daren has nailed it
I don't think they have a titanium Radiomir. Here is my favorite titanium (PAM177)

That's a very nice PAM, Steve!
Must be pretty lightweight, too! And the "right" PAM size, as well. I also like the recessed numerals! Gives it that extra bit of class.

I was just about to buy this watch and the seller sent me this photograph
See the gap between the bezel and the case, man that looks bad. Be careful ask all questions and do not leave anything to chance.

can't tell fromthat pic m8, but all luminors have a gap on them. Used for service to pop the bezel off. Totally normal. Again, not saying that is what it is, but they are there on all.

Thanks Daren
If you look at the side of the case and then compare it to the sharp sides on the case of the photo in my earlier post (the one with the autumn leaves) you can see that it looks like it has the hell polished out of it. It is sending off some alarm bells.

If there is one thing that I like to be right it is the dial and the case, especially the case, poor polishing can't restore the metal (titanium).
Thanks for giving me that indication Daren on the gap between the bezel and the case, but what you say now makes sense. However the bigger issue is the overall condition of the case. Maybe I'm going to have to pull out an extra chunk of cash and get one that I can truely say is mint

The great thing about Rolex is that when the case, especially the lugs, has been polished, one can easily tell.

As can be seen on Lardog's pic, Panarai historically paired titanium watches with a "tobacco" dial, a very matte brown color. Very nice. As far as I know, the only currently available titanium watch with tobacco dial is the relatively new PAM 240. Many used models have this combo though. Really nice.

That's true Dude, but the black dial works really well too with titanium. The 177 is a great looking Panerai
