How popular are Pam268

Guys as I have no idea regarding Panerai's can some one guide me about this model. I prefer the Radimor case vs the luminor case

off all the 45mm radiomir cases I have tried, I enjoy 190 the most with the gold hand and sandwich dial with jlc movement. 190, 380, 183, 268...all minor variations with a different engine but overall, sleek!

No, the 268's not particularly popular; too many other Radiomirs in the forefront (see red1108nyc's post above/below). Besides, the 268 was released as a successor to the 200/201 8-Day Radiomirs and was soon superseded by the likes of the 346 & 384.

The above are 8-Day Radiomirs With and w/o GMT function; perhaps it's time to ask you what about the 268 (besides the Radiomir-style case) it is you like... ?

Nice lineup - certainly enough to get the OP on the right track

That's actually my blog, and you're correct in that I meant the third Rad, not the third Panerai. That aside I think you're being a bit hard on the 268 which - whilst perhaps not being the purists choice - is a fine watch (I like the date window and don't have an issue with the PR indicator either). I certainly stand by the other comments in my blog post.

i found it too thick for a radiomir.

maybe some people like the titanium.

but i would pass on this one. there are plenty of 8 day models
