Radiomir 736 or newer 995

Which would you go with, why? Are both domed crystal? One more “classic” DNA than other? Please let me know your thoughts? Thinking of trading Luminor for Radiomir.

I would go with the 995 because it has no date. The Panerai dial is the star of the show and a date window removes the beautiful number "3". I prefer to see the dial and numbers all present and accounted for.

Of those two, I'd go 995.
And that's saying something as I'm usually a "date" guy. Only non-date watch I own is the Moonwatch.

Incidentally, David has a 995 for sale right now. Good luck!

Thanks, have you purchased from David? If so, good experience—he flexible on prices?

Many times. Deal with complete confidence. As far as price, that's something you'd have to ask him.
Sláinte!

The 995 has the better balanced dial IMHO.

I bought my 690 from DSW, he’s a great seller
