Radiomirs are the iconic historic Panerai watch, a lot of good taste in this thread!

new to panerai, but really really like them and would not hesitate to wear it out and have people not really notice what the brand is. I have a chance to buy either a rolex or panerai in the next few days and will opt for Panerai...budget will be around 10-13K so still deciding which panerai is the best to go for that type of investment!....the Rad are nice...

You could buy a Rolex and a Panerai for that kind of money, me on the other hand would buy two Pams.

I looooove the Radiomirs! I have had a bunch. My all time favorite is the 268 8 day. I am currently wearing a 292.

Funny though, as I don't like the Rads with chronographs. I feel that design is best left simple and clean.

The 183 is a great starting point. The 287 is nice, but its on the thick and heavy side.

Cheers!

268 is underrated IMHO too. I just can't get by that cyclops. I email panerai asking if they would service a 268 with the cyclops removed. No response... :-(
