That is a true winner! I like the second strap better. Enjoy it, Gus!

So you flipped one after the other and made it back to the roots with the 000? If your first PAM was indeed the 210, well it's also a base... The 127 didn't stay for long, if memory serves well... it's a shame we can't keep them all, isn't it

Base is definitely the most consistent feature im drawn to, the gold hands are also very desirable

First Pam, had to be a Rad, had to have sandwich dial, did not want the luminor crown guard, had to have the wire lugs, had to have see through case back, no logo & ultimately wanted a second hand... Then i changed my mind:)

Still extremely fond of the 210, perhaps my favorite of all, except for the tiny (invisible) screws to change the straps.

127 didnt last too long but 232 had the quickest turn around.

Indeed a shame we cant keep them all

Ok, I get that strap-changing is an essential part of the Panerai experience making all Radiomirs a bit of a PITA. On the other hand, a small price to pay for the 232's charm... so why the lickety-split departure?

Don't get me wrong, Gus - the 000 is the defacto base PAM and you've done right by it I'm just eager to follow the "evolution" of all serious Paneristis

agree always interesting to know the evolution even though it is largely subjective…

truth is i just liked the balance and dimension better on the 210 than the 232, it was difficult for me to tell in pics but the numerals of them both, and the 44 luminors for that matter, are all significantly different sizes in person… just have to find the one that strikes the right balance for each of us
