So, I just got my 190. I have a 210. And ALREADY I'm thinking about more Radiomirs! This case is just so perfect for me.

Already dreaming about another one...
232 seems pricy.
249 even more pricy!
268 seems like a bargain (but that cyclops....)
292 with its ceramic
384 with its ceramic 8 day (but the faux patina looks iffy on this one)

So, I know most people here like the crown guard Luminors more, but are there any Radiomir freaks like me out there?

Shade · 7 June 2011, 11:36 AM

Rads are aweeesssoommmmeeee... I been trying to spot one myself for a great price. But I am considering the 380... :)

B. Doggy · 7 June 2011, 12:26 PM

I'm a RAD freak. It will probably be my next purchase, but the 372 being thrown into the mix has my horological senses confused all around.

The lines of the case on it are reminiscent of a Radiomir...but it is of course a LUM. Panerai threw a wrench, as always, in the direction of my collection.

I am excited to buy my first Radiomir soon. The case shape is so comfortable on the wrist and I love they way it can be dressed up or down (depending on the strap). 210 is next on my list.

Shade · 7 June 2011, 02:57 PM

I was just offered a 339 and a 346, so Im about to drown myself in bathtub, if you guys dont see me make another post within a few hours, o well, that means either I drowned or my wife drowned me lol.

How can I forget the 231. Love that gold beast!

bcacncnc · 7 June 2011, 10:14 PM

210, 231, 292 - are all in my radar sights now. The 292 is really singing to me now. Oh boy!

karmatp · 7 June 2011, 11:50 PM

I like Rads a lot and miss my 183 dearly. I don't like changing the straps though, makes you really appreciate the Luminor's.

kingblackbolt · 8 June 2011, 12:22 AM

I understand 100%! I'm actually really interested in an 8 day movement so I may be listing either my 351 or 292 shortly... Damn these PAMs are addictive :)

usbzoso · 8 June 2011, 12:27 AM

post some pics

Shade · 8 June 2011, 12:27 AM

Getting a 231 down here is hard, especially preowned ones, sigh.

egzbuen · 8 June 2011, 12:28 AM

would love to land my first RAD soon.

i am thinking of the 183

Brunotheboxer · 8 June 2011, 12:31 AM

I like the 47 mm rad and the one with the Cali dial.

kingblackbolt · 8 June 2011, 01:19 AM

Here's a side by side and a wrist shot... PM me if anyone is intetested.

Shade · 8 June 2011, 10:38 AM

Ren, you gotta love the blackseal ceramic!

jcatral14 · 8 June 2011, 01:26 PM

I know what you mean. I'd love to get a 190 and a 249 one day

My one and only Rad. For now...

Chye · 10 June 2011, 03:51 PM

Hope I am not too late?!
I am one of those few who prefer the Rad over the Lums for Panerai.
Here's my only Pam left after a recent cull (

164, 112, 210, 232, 55, 25!) .
It's a 190 (apologies for the cr*p pic), which I hope to pass on to my boy in time to come ...

And if I have the cash, a Pam 67 (Zerograph) would be nice

fc3s2k · 10 June 2011, 03:55 PM

I got a Rad 210 coming soon!!!! Can't wait.

jvo300 · 10 June 2011, 10:08 PM

I like both Rads and Luminors. Here are a couple of mine.

249

338

Michael M. · 11 June 2011, 12:06 AM

Love luminor & radiomirs! Love the 232!!!

ocwatching · 11 June 2011, 12:48 AM

skyedog · 13 June 2011, 10:59 AM

Me too!! Loves the Cali dial but unfortunately of my 6" wrist won't fit right..
so here is my 336

niels74 · 13 June 2011, 07:54 PM

hmmm i still have a Big soft spot for my 141 - although i know its not that valued due to its 42mm size...

Trailblazer · 14 June 2011, 03:03 PM

sorry to rob this thread. I am a lover of rad too and been thinking to get the 210 or 183. Just a quick question, has anyone heard of or experience their rad crown screw losing its thread from all the manual winding?

mfer · 14 June 2011, 10:05 PM

^^^^they are designed for winding every other day, so wind away. Over many many years or too hard of tightening, the threads may get damaged, but the threads are replaceable at minimal cost. I have a 210 and a 190 and wouldn't worry about it. Just don't over tighten and always wind it off of your wrist.

gtsayson · 15 June 2011, 01:29 AM

287 Blackseal...

mmancari · 15 June 2011, 05:38 AM

Congrats on the 190! The perfect compliment to your collection would be the 249 it's different or if you have the money and can get a hold of a 376 then your in heaven
