Rad 45 mm Dumb question

I’m looking to finally secure a 735. What strap options do I have? The PAM website is not helpful or I’m just slow...

What I mean was what size OEM straps will work? I’m digging the green canvas. Thanks!

My guess is the OEM strap that comes with it is 27/22.

Exactly for Rad 45mm , 27/22 is the Oem size , some use the 26mm also but 27 is what comes stock.

You can go with 27 or 26 mm straps...27/22; 27/24; 27/27; 26/22; 26/24; 26/26

I go mostly with 26/26

Ummm, Panerai website says 24/22. My Rad 45mm also has 24/22.

Maybe that’s for the Rad 1940?

Rad strap size is 26 or 27/22 whether it's 45 or 47mm

Personally I prefer 26 over 27 as putting the new 27mm strap on the curvy wire lugs can be a bit tricky

I don't think this is correct. All the base dial 45mm Radiomirs I have owned and handled all came on 27/22 straps. A 24/22 strap would show a little too much of the wire lugs on a 45mm Radiomir. I am not an expert, but you might be referring to a Radiomir 1940 or a very specific exception.

Not sure about the Rads with the 1940s case but all other Rads like my Pam292 use a 26/22 or 27/22 strap. A 26/26 strap would also fit but I don’t likehow they look on a 45mm Radomir.
