Best Part of me Buying a Radiomir?

[dman]

The straps of course. :clap: I had to get all 26mm straps to fit the Rad and I finally found a favorite. Well, I do love the black OEM calf that came with it, it is awesome. But I got this buttuh soft cashmere calf today and it gives it a vintage look and great feel. I also got two other straps today and have a bunch more incoming. Hope Andie doesn't check the bank statement too close this month. :banghead: :banghead: :chuckle: :chuckle: :cheers:

Holy Smokes, all those straps already??????
You might have some 'splainin to do:rofl:
I'm too afraid to try to remove the wire loop on mine.
I'll wait until my eyes are rested a bit more:thumbsup:
That tan one looks sweet.
(does the screwdriver from the Luminor lugs fit the Radiomir?)

No, the screwdriver is a smaller one, 1.4 I believe. Go to a hardware store and buy a jewelers set, they are fairly cheap and you will have the right size.

I will give two pieces of advice to changing a Rad. One is to use scotch tape over the screws the first few times to avoid scratches. Also do it in a well lit room. The second is to not remove the small screws all the way out. They are a bitch to get back in and are easily lost. So also do it with something under the watch that will catch it if it falls out. Trust me, they are not easy to find. :dummy: :chuckle:

That is one of the nicest strap/watch combos I've seen, D :thumbsup:

Sorry pal, but I do think a PAM would make it feel a little better. Either a 112 or a Anderson. :chuckle: :chuckle: :chuckle:

Nice looking collection of straps Daren,but getting quite concerned now over this uncontrollable leather fetish.:chuckle: :cheers: :thumbsup:

[mailman]

Very cool collection of straps Daren. The cashmere looks great on the Rad also :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

[JJ Irani]

Excellent collection, Daren....but with so many straps, picking and choosing must be a bitch!! :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :justkiddi

[Atomic]

Nice Daren, very nice. :thumbsup:

I'm finally coming around to the brown and tan straps on a panny. I still say black looks best with a black dial, but I really am starting to like the tan and browns more and more. :thumbsup:

[Rockrolex]

Love that cashmere strap, Daren. I bet it feels real comfortable on the wrist. :thumbsup:

Have you seen anyone professionally about this strap fetish of yours? It would drive me crazy trying to decide what strap to put on. It's bad enough trying to decide what watch to put on in the morning. :lol: :lol:

Black looks nice, but brown/tan/cognac is more historically correct. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

The sad part is, most of the straps just sit there in the box. :banghead: :banghead: Yet I still keep looking for the "deal". :chuckle:

Maybe JJ can send Daren some of his meds. On second thought, JJ needs them all. :chuckle:

But they do give the screws 'character'. :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :smokin:

dude, you're getting out of control with this strap thing.. you could probably buy another panerai for the amount you're dropping on these straps:dummy: :dummy: :dummy:

Not even close. It pays to have friends in the right places mate. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

And THAT kind of treatment is what makes the Panerai community so much different from other watch communities (excluding this little slice of heaven that is).

:cheers: You got that right my friend. I am paying some of that forward too. It always is a great feeling to hear the reactions from fellow Paneristi. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

This is easier Ed, I pick the strap to match the outfit mate. :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

And that is not too dificult when I really only wear khaki slacks and a white polo shirt. :chuckle:

You are right, but I actually only wear the same couple, some of these are just testers for me. I will send back or sell whatever doesn't make the regular rotation.

Slacks are the bottom part of a "pant-suit" Paul. The top part is a blouse.

Daren is very Metro for a guy living in Texas.....:dummy:

slacks: Casual trousers that are not part of a suit.

From the dictionary. I still don't get it. :thinking: :thinking:

We are used to hearing women refer to their pants as slacks. :dummy: :rofl:

Either that, or Ward Cleaver. :rofl: :rofl: Didn't he also belt them just below his nipples? :bartmoon:

Yes but they didn't say or show nipples back when the Beav was on TV. Come to think of it, how did they get away with saying Beaver? :chuckle:

Sorry if it seemed harsh mate, not meant that way at all. I really have just only heard them called slacks, that's all. :thumbsup:
