Davidsen 232

[dluddy]

So I love the Radiomir design. When Panerai released an homage piece as part of the 1938 Special Edition Series it was love at first sight.

Whats not to love?

A 47MM Rad with a brown Sandwich Dial
Communication with Davidsen was great. I wanted this made with Gold Fiddy hands that don't taper. The model he posted had the pinched hands which taper at the pin. He graciously accomodated my request and the funds were dispatched. Delivery was in less than 14 days from order [smilie=angel7.gif]

I am very impressed. This is my first Davidsen PAM and he did not dissapoint. The dial is nicely done, great crown with longer threads to avoid the 183 issues, and the hands are much more genuine looking. The Superlume dial is a bonus and the crystal has slight AR. The only real faults I can find are that the Hour hand is slightly longer than the genuine and the Caseback does not have the Serialization engraving. The dial might be a shade too light but overall it makes a nice presentation and I am really happy with the result [smilie=love2.gif]

Now for the pictures - strap is GEF Cammello:

Great watch. I got one a week or so ago and couldn't be more pleased. Nice GeF strap too. I love the chocolate dial which may be too light compared to the Gen but more importantly it's a nice colour and a good matte texture. Also the timekeeping has been excellent.

Radiomirs are fast beocming one my favorite Pam. Its because they look so vintage. 47mm cases with the California dials and the 47mm vintage are at the top of my list.

Enjoy it man.
