I think it comes with a 25mm strap, but all the ones I show in the pictures above are the standard OEM 24mm.

Thanks all!

VERY NICE! Congratulations.

Newbie question (I thought I'd ask, since this 338 is gorgeous and you've got me thinking.....)....My AD here (boutique in Paris) told me they recommend for Radiomirs to bring them to the shop to switch straps, because it's more difficult than the Luminors or quick change.....Do you find that to be the case?

It's tue that the Rads are more difficult. First, you have to buy the right screwdriver as one is not supplied with the watch (the Luminor screwdrivers are too big). Second, you have to have steady hands (or some use methods like tape) or you run the risk of scratching up your caseback. Third, you would be well served to watch a YouTube video first because the actual wire changing system isn't exactly intuitive. Once you get the hang of it it is super easy.

Nice watch.

Where are all the members advocating the larger 45mm size? Panerai is all about large, ya know? Nobody is asking him to trade it for a 45mm even though 45mm is too large for him.

I'm disappointed.

I got it used, so I can't say with certainty. My guess is that it is the special tanning you find in the simple order form on the ABP site.
