Officine Panerai - useful comparison

useful comparison

Thanks flamenco for this interesting comparison.

It is very useful to me because i am considering a Rad after my first Luminor. The 42 mm might well be my choice due to its wearability, but i still hadn't the opportunity to see one live or try one on the flesh.

In general i'd dare to say that every PAM maniac should own a Luminor (for the sporty days) and a Rad (for elegant days). I ain't sure about gold anyway, the military/sporty heritage of Panerai does not fit well with precious materials such as gold and platinum. I would go for a Titanium version of the 42 Rad.

I love the 42mm Rad from the first time I saw it... I really thought it could be the first proper panerai dresswatch... And I have to say you showed us a nice comparison of 2 very contrasting characteristic in both watches Thanks& Have a great weekend...

Radios all the way

By: Hororgasm : May 8th, 2011-13:45

Too many me too Luminor lookalike brands like U-Boat etc. Radios cases are certainly unique, baring those irritating "hommages", very wearable. It's my ultimate aim to own a radiomir in every case material, Pam movements for me doesn't hold any attraction...
