Radiomir help please
Looking for some knowledge on the Panerai Radiomir if you can help.
Seriously considering buying a Radiomir and would like one that best compliments my Luminor 005 Base. However, I'm lost with all the model numbers past and present. Hoping someone can help. What I'm looking for (don't know if it was even made) is a straight plain dial hours/minutes only, solid caseback, ETA based movement, and I prefer a sausage dial to a sandwich. I've found the 210 and 380, but neither has everything I'm looking for, but they are close. Is there a Radiomir model out there like this? Also I have a dozen or more straps for my 005 - even though I understand the Radiomir straps are tapered would any of my existing straps work in a pinch? I kinda think they might not with the Radiomir wire bars and stainless tubes in my existing straps. Appreciate any assistance and thanks! |

Off the top of my head, no, there have been no base Rads with sausage dial.
As for straps, you can use your 24mm straps, but some of the wire will show (up to you if too much wire is showing). |

the 210/380 are 45mm/26mm straps and your 005 straps will be a bit too narrow 44mm/24mm straps, allowing to much of the wire lugs to show.
'in a pinch' maybe but it wouldn't look right. good luck in your quest.

Radiomir help please
You can consider 610 which is sausage dial but this model has an in-house P.5000 movement and an exhibition case back. And,,,,Radiomir uses 26 or 27 MM straps.

Can use the 24 mm straps. Will look a bit odd, but remove the steel tubes

Thanks for all the responses - I'm going to go with the 210. That model has nearly everything I want and looks awesome.
