Radiomir vs Luminor
What is the diffence between these two styles of PAMS? If this has been discussed before please accept my apology.

Steven, I'll defer to the experts, but I believe the origin of the name Radiomir relates to the radioluminescent paint that was used on the dial and hands which was based on Radium.
Today it refers to case type. An explanation, http://www.paneraisource.com/articles_caseshape.shtml |

Thanks Mike!
It seems as if information on these great watches is a scarce as the watch it self.
