Glaude 1,615 Posted March 25, 2021 I like seeing more Radiomir ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tribefan 6,768 Posted March 25, 2021 Pricing is better than I thought it would be. You can build one without the deco plate and a generic strap for around $150. A 44MM Radiomir would be nice. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GenTLe 1,485 Posted March 25, 2021 Yep but they are all 47mm... Way too big nowadays :( I decided I'll not go over 44 more than I did Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALE7575 24 Posted March 25, 2021 They are undoubtedly cheap versions with certain manufacturing oversights and logical inaccuracies due to the price. They do not seem interesting for advanced amateurs but they can be used for people who are just starting out. RADIOMIRS There are no detail photos of the dial, inscriptions, engravings, or the lume application. Judging from the photos of the lume and what can be seen from the dials they have a sloppy application and inaccurate color. The hands have a very inaccurate narrower lume. The CP is sunk. The box and caseback seem well made and quite accurate (nice edges and angles) but we would have to see better side photos to judge better. IMO is the best of these reps Movement A6497 decorated as P.3000, with a decoration of the double bridge of the balance wheel very badly placed, leaving the Incabloc off-center in all cases Gens PAM 448 and 449 have Plexi crystal. These reps have Sapphire PAM 507 There are no detail photos of the dial, but the contours of the markers and dots appear very thick in comparison with the gen. Inaccurate DW fonts Bezel knurling and chanfered corner completely inaccurate. There is no detail of the pearl. Very inaccurate CG without any chamfered edges and angles, inaccurate CG pin. Nice fit between lever and CG Case with material really reddish, maybe a problem of balance of the pics, but most likely a bronze with a lot of copper (cheap) and little amount of tin (expensive). I do not like the insertion of the lugs with the midcase, they look like they are welded (some marks are seen in the joint) Inaccurate caseback engravings, with a very yellow color and sloppy paint The hole @ 8 no comment. Seagull type movement with BW @ 7 decorated like P.9002 but with BW @ 6 instead of @ 7. Inaccurate rotor bearing. As above said, nice low price but accuracy of the rep at the same level.

Besides Radiomirs I am silently hoping they will release some improved versions of older panerai pieces, like PAM605, but with a proper sapphire crystal... 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
