Good Day All,

I picked up a PAM210 a few days ago but I stopped by the AD and they now have a PAM339. I was thinking about getting 339, I would really like a 18K gold watch, I do like the size of the 210 but the size of the 339 fits me a bit better.

The AD would take my PAM210 back and give me full credit for it.

What are you thoughts on the new 42mm Rad's? I have not seen too many of them anywhere.

The P.999 in-house movement looks nice!

And I love the brushed gold case and tobacco dial.

It would be way more then I ever spent on a watch but it would be a keeper.

Thanks,

Eric

beauty for sure, i want to get one for my wife since shes fallen for my 380. personally i like the larger sizes on my wrist. i tried on the ss version you are lusting after and preferred the 45mm on my 6.5" wrist.

my favorite rad is the 249 but not sure i can swing the 47mm. would love to try it on some day if i could find one!

drtooth73 · 2 November 2011, 05:05 AM

Pam 336,337,338 are the newer 42mm, with sub seconds and 60 hours power reserve.
Very nice. I love the Oro Rosa one.

Are you talking about the 376 (Oro Rosa)? My AD looked up the price on that one it is over 30K My AD told me that they will not be seing one they are all ordered by bigger AD's over the wold.

That would be a sweet Rad for sure!

I like the 249 for sure, never seen one in peson but there are a few used ones out there, They are priced a bit too high for an SS I think, I seen one on TRF going for 13K

If you are going for a gold, I would recommend you the beautiful 231

I like the 231 too, but I kind of what the in house movement and like the 42 size.

No, the 336.
I think its $19k MSRP

yes it is 19K I might get a bit off, but it costs a few bucks for a gold watch these days.

subtona · 2 November 2011, 06:47 AM

i have the 210 and find it a perfect balance in size....

tried the 232... the 47mm did not feel right at all and the numbers on the dial were bigger than the 210 (i wasn't crazy about that either) .

the 42 mm looks great but i think i would have 45 envy if i got one?

Definitely! The 231 is the ultimate 18k Radiomir. IMO the 42 lacks the Panerai DNA.

I stick with the 45mm or the 47mm Radiomir.

My thought exactly, A Panerai will always be 45mm + for me

mfer · 2 November 2011, 09:56 AM

210 all da way home!!!!

rulessapt · 2 November 2011, 10:50 AM

The 42mm Rad would be a lovely piece.
Thinner case I'm led to understand.

I yearned for a 141, which is steel, but 42mm. Still do.
Go the 336 if it feels good for you.

Cheers
Richard

eric23 · 2 November 2011, 10:57 AM

I also like the 233. But I like the thin small case of the 336.

andrew79 · 2 November 2011, 11:17 AM

stick with 210...

mfer · 2 November 2011, 12:09 PM

I'm telling you....give the 210 the time. It is my fav.

I have 6.5" wrist and it is PERFECTO!

Cru Jones · 2 November 2011, 11:06 PM

i'm fond of the 336 and 338, so, if you like it, go for it. quite stunning and, IMHO, more "special"/interesting than the 210, at least in terms of a more "dressy" option.

FWIW, check out these great pix of the 338 posted yesterday at p.com.

Mik do you find the crown dig in to your hand at all? It seem to do that when I am at work.

Great photos, That 338 is real nice, I have never seen on in person. There does not seem to be many 42mm Rads out there becuase I was at many AD's all over the place this summer and I never seen one in stock.

No, I don't have that problem at all.

How does you strap fit? A proper fitting strap will keep it far enough up your arm to where it won't dig in. It doesn't have to be super tight to achieve this, but just right.

I am going to try and move it up my wrist a bit for today.

bicismith · 3 November 2011, 12:51 AM

mine never digs and i wear mine a bit loose. the 104 i had before was constantly hammering my hand, though. same strap position...

GL08 · 3 November 2011, 06:28 PM

hey eric, your AD in calgary has one in stock?

If so, you are lucky, that watch is hard to find, only 500ish were made i believe.

I tried finding one as well, no luck.
