I took a short trip to Hong Kong where they are widely available right now.

I'd originally heard these were coming out late last fall. It's nice to see them and the white dial looks like a possibility. The WR matters a lot to me. I'll be near a boutique in a few weeks - so I'll be interested to look.

I was hoping for a new, perhaps smaller, SLC, which I think is just a slick watch ( I prefer the smooth dial w/o the raised sculpture).

Strange they're not on the website and there hasn't been any press release.

Change your location to Hong Kong and the Radiomir Quaranta are listed. It seems to me that availability of certain models are sometimes tied to geography based on what is and isn't shown on the website when you change locations?

Go to try these on yesterday. Must say they’re actually very nice in person, slim and definitely a due-esque dress watch. Here they are with a 45mm for comparison.

(I still am undecided whether I can pull off a 45mm!)

Looks nice, thanks for sharing. I’d prefer regular lug style in 40. Are they white markers or ecru

[1William]

Looks very nice. I look forward to seeing them at my AD.

[rootbeer7]

Quick glance looks similar in size. I’d stick to 45mm

[StanCho]

Was about to say that, does not seem to big a difference between 45 and 40... interesting anyway.

Maybe time to go and pickup up the 210 available near me for decent money. :D

I've recently purchased a 210. Absolutely fantastic classic reference with proper dna.

I'm not a fan of gold hands. The watch looks rather cheap and bland looking. Looks like 1000 usd watch, not whatever they are asking for it.

Thanks, thanks alot

All you’ve done here is make me realize how much I want a wire lug Radiomir

Me too! I just need to decide which one. I think a 45mm wire lug is what I'm after. But not sure which one.

The 40mm size looks perfect in the photos. These are outstanding offerings but so is the 45mm.

Approx 3200 GBP, box no papers but serviced and with authenticity confirmation from the local AD in good shape, no big scratches or dents just signs of regular use. Sounds ok to me, what do you think since you got one?

I’ve always bought Panerai with B&P but as it’s an exhibition back and the seller is good, it seems ok. You can google Panerai Guard & check serial number matches if AD will let you.

Rolex is also a fashion brand. Timeless design = lazy.

Same…none of my Panerais stuck until I went for the 210

[emtee]

I’m not too keen on the execution of the date and small seconds but the time only models look nice. That said I’d probably seek out a 210 or similar if I was in the market for a wire lugs Radiomir.

[Rippin12]

I was really looking forward to this release. It's essentially a Due with the 40mm Radiomir case. Sadly just 30m water resistance as well.
I'll reserve judgement until I get a chance to try these on.
I was enamoured by the PAM01372 Luminor Quaranta 40mm, with its 100m water resistance and no-tools strap change. Probably pick one of these up unless this new Radiomir really impresses me after I get a change to try it on.

[Claven2]

30mm wr is a deal breaker for me. No watch of this price should be 30m. It's just ridiculous really.

[Darzee]

There is another boutique only model, green sunburst dial limited to 500pcs only. PAM1386.

[mfer]

Surprised they went this small. Would look better if sub seconds and date were pushed closer to sides imho.

[scarlet knight]

I like them.

[hanw]

Looks like a watch I’d love to have in my collection. Very nice.

Not gonna lie, I like them. And my Panerai AD visits are far and beyond the best I’ve ever had.
