Hi guys,

i wear a suit to work everyday and am looking for a thin Panerai I can wear with my dress shirt, as my 111 is a bit too thick.

I believe a radimir model would be best, and have my eyes on the 572, although would like another choice as the rotor is a bit loud.

Thanks :)

Some of the wire-lug Radiomirs (288, 292, 346, 380, etc.) will work as well. Those are well-repped models and are relatively recent, although m2m will be your best way to get them. The 572 is a fine choice as well as any of the 1940's case Radiomirs. I wear a suit most days as well and if I may make a recommendation for french or barrel-cuffed shirts, they are a game-changer. I can wear a 187 with a suit if I so desire ...

I wear my Panerai 643 with my suit, it is thin enough to sit under my sleeve and you switch the strap out to change the look. It has the matt black ceramic case and a beautiful hobnail dial.

Get a nice manual wind Radiomir. With the required thickness and none of the unwanted noise. :)

Thanks for the comments guys! Unfortunately, here on “wallstreet” the new analysts aren’t allowed to wear cuff links, although I am allowed to roll up my sleeves. Still, bulky watches aren’t commonplace in the office and no need to draw attention to myself. Otherwise, I would absolutely love to wear French cuff.

any recommendations on manual radiomirs? I will do some research although appreciate any recommendations.

Also! That matte radiomir is gorgeous.

Do barrel cuffs -- two buttons on the cuff where you can leave the one closest to your wrist unbuttoned and give yourself a little more room ...

Unless you like wire lugs and can handle the sometimes frustrating part of ownership, I usually recommend 1940's style Radiomirs for people. Manual wind models like the 622 (if you can find it), 574 or 587 would work. My assumption is that you do not want gold (otherwise the 573 is good to go) and if you want automatic, the 572 is an option as well. The 532 is one of my favorite models, but that is probably a m2m pursuit ...

There is a nice PAM718, 42mm V6 Factory around. Thin enough (for being a Pam), a good mix of formal and casual.

Hey Nalomb, how is this model 622?

I had a 338, was cheap and a reasonable rep and went OK with a suit
