Your favorite Radiomir 1940?

Looking for one, what should I consider?

With honorable mentions from me to the 995 and 518/519/520. I also like the 45mm automatics with micro rotor. ;-)

Have they discontinued the 1940 line? They don't seem to list them on the US site...sorry if this is old news.

Thanks! Right now I am torn between the 995 and 690. Tough one for me, thoughts?

If you really can't decide, go with the 690 and then get a 911 for a green dial but with Luminor (Bettarini) case.

Yes, like the 911 — but only looking for one Panerai and Radiomir calls to me because of the dome crystal — they look nice together these two!

Both blue dial, what’s main difference between 932 and 690? And which would you choose and why?

690 for me. “Better” blue and sunburst dial as opposed to gradient. The dial has better balance as well IMO.

I have no idea why I like this one so much

The case has some really intersting lines, a bit sleek for a Panerai IMO.

The dial, well I think its one of the best blue dials ever. It's also really well balanced with the text lay out.

The movement is a tank. Smooth as silk to wind, but I guess you get the P3000 in alot of different references.

Last, the strap. I don't think it gets enough attention ... Panerai really nailed it IMO the stitching and colorway just goes so well with the rose gold hands and the lume. I've tried others, but I keep going back to the factory original.

I guess I'm a fan 20190323_190736.jpg20180909_132717.jpg20180324_161423.jpg20180420_125401.jpg
