Radiomir guy
Or
Luminor guy
?

Which is your favorite? I like both, but if I can have only one.....Radiomir?

What about you?

barstoolman · 19 August 2011, 10:37 AM

Luminor all the way...........Radiomirs don't do anything for me!!!!

mfer · 19 August 2011, 10:40 AM

Oh, pics welcome. You should post your pics to sway the votes!

dddrees · 19 August 2011, 10:43 AM

Luminor, so far. No Radiomirs in the stable.

jay_man2 · 19 August 2011, 10:48 AM

Three Luminors right now, 000, 164, 351.

skyedog · 19 August 2011, 10:54 AM

falling in love on the vintage look on the Radiomir!

but I have both 50 & 336

texex91 · 19 August 2011, 10:57 AM

Loving my 351, but the 210 Rad is just awesome. I am on the fence, but will have to say Rad. Love the manual and simple look.

There is no right answer. If you could only have one, which would it be?

Believe it or not, it would be a hard choice between the 210 and 190.

Rad. Which is my ultimate--PAM 376. Oro Bianco.

DCgator · 19 August 2011, 11:36 AM

Rad automatic in 42mm (if they make it). Have a Pam 88 now.

karmatp · 19 August 2011, 11:37 AM

I like Rads but I love Luminor's. The new quick strap changing system just blows away removing the 4 little screws, I like to change straps.

B. Doggy · 19 August 2011, 12:03 PM

I personally feel that the deep down uber hard-core delicious DNA laden PAM's are the LUM's. This said, meLOVES some RAD's!!

dalip · 19 August 2011, 12:09 PM

Luminor for me - love the crown and bulk of the range.

drgleeds37 · 19 August 2011, 12:11 PM

When I originally started looking at Panerai I was in love with the Rads. I was convinced by everyone to start out with a Luminor and at this point I will never be without my 112. That said, I will have a 210 very soon and we will see if I still feel that way when I own both.

nauticajoe · 19 August 2011, 12:18 PM

I got into PAM's via a Rad (292) but quickly fell in love with the Luminor case (177 & 233). Something about the crown guard; makes it unique.

mfer · 19 August 2011, 12:27 PM

Poll is going pretty much as I expected, but a little surprised at the RAD following. Keep it up!

Look at how good this thing looks!!!!!!

One day.........I see a 21 in your future. Maybe even a 3646.

fc3s2k · 19 August 2011, 12:50 PM

I like both that's why I have both but if I would choose only ONE, I'll keep my 312K it has everything I want in a Panerai!!!

ocwatching · 19 August 2011, 12:57 PM

I used to think I was a Lum guy and be content with my 190 and 312 and may be add a 375..
now with the 249 I am loving the Rad...and the 312 is gone...

Speed · 19 August 2011, 01:22 PM

I'd like to trade up from my 111 to a 312 someday...but don't need the date.

Andad · 19 August 2011, 01:44 PM

I think I have always been loved the crown guard:

But, I have to say, the rad is starting to get a little more time as of late as well!

walds11 · 19 August 2011, 07:38 PM

Luminor all the way! Not a fan of the Radiomir. The Radimor does absolutely nothing for me. I don't like the look of them.

bcacncnc · 19 August 2011, 08:24 PM

Luminor.

A 21, Mik?!?!??!? What kind of seed are you trying to sew into my brain here? Out...out I tell you!

I have like another 4-years until a kid comes around in my life, so I need to get all the watches I can RIGHT NOW!! This said, not sure how a 21 would fit into things as I could send like 4 kids to an Ivy League college for that cabbage.

Mosco · 20 August 2011, 01:30 AM

I'm bi-panerious.

While I don't own any Pams right now, I have owned (and probably will own again) both lines. Do find myself strangely missing the 292, but wouldn't kick a 372 out of my bed either.

So, it is still unclear - how do you feel about Radiomirs?

Fearsome Puppy · 20 August 2011, 02:09 AM

After picking up my 292 I need an option for both...

MDUB · 20 August 2011, 04:45 AM

If I had to choose, which I guess I have already by owning 2 Luminors and no Rads, I think the crown guard edges out the Rad for me (at least for now).
