Radiomir search

Hi, In my search for the perfect Pam for me, I have noticed some wrist shots of Radiomirs, and some of these have regular lugs ( my laymen term for the lugs you would find on a Rolex or reg watch) on them. From my visit to the local AD and my catalog, I do not see any.
Can someone let me know what models have the regular lugs them. I see some beautiful wrist shots of some Radiomirs and would like to research them some more.
Thanks in advance, Cheers!
I did see the 372, 422 and 423 but it seems the older Radiomirs had the old style lugs.

all rads comes with detachable lugs! accessible by screws.

the lugs are different to the ones as seen on luminor models (luminor models are bigger and attached to the case itself)

All Radiomirs have wire lugs. Watches with the traditional lugs are in the Luminor line.

OK, thanks, that is the info I needed. Still new to Pams so am trying to absorb it all while I search for a watch that fits me.
Thanks!

Thanks! Got it.

Nice video, now I know I can use youtube to search for models I am interested in.

Thanks for the input guys.
Cheers!

Thanks!
Have you stopped by the Boutique at 台北101? Usually have a great selection. Try on as many as you can... that'll help narrow the selection. Have fun!

Yes! I was there last weekend. I tried on about 4. It was my first time to try on a Pam and now I am addicted. They were very helpful.

I was sent a list of 2nd hand shops from another member here on TRF and went to one that has a huge selection and the prices are much lower than the AD in Taipei 101. So, I was excited and am now trying to get a short list of Pams so I can go back and try them on.

Have you been to 101? They just opened up a new VC, AP, JLC, and expanded the PP boutique. They have a whole assortment of other watch boutiques like Rolex, Blancpain, Harry Winston, Glashutte, and Bell and Ross and others.
Thanks for the help!

Yes! and thanks again for the list of 2nd hand shops in Taipei.
I accidentally found one while out shopping with my wife last weekend.
They had a great selection of Pams. I will be going back next week to try some on.
Cheers!

Visited 101 last summer. Not a bad place for watch browsing. Love the food court too

I'd like to go during Chinese new years but likely going to be in early April when kids are on break with a stop in HK afterwards. Taipei in summer is not fun.

Food court is awesome! Most of the boutiques weren't open when I first went to 101 in 2004.

I think the non-wire lugs for Rads he is talking about is the 398 and 399.

Ah!! Good catch Mik. I forgot about those hybrids. That 398 is NICE!
