I just scored a gen Asso radiomir strap and need a watch to match! I know the 380 is solid but any other A+ reps to consider? I saw a new gold radiomir on time shops that looks nice. I appreciate any comments!

I think the Asso goes really well with the 292 black ceramic Rad. ;)

I agree with crossbones !!

I don't know why I thought bluffer wanted only a BLACK Radiomir.
Therefore, PAM 288 and PAM 183 are very good choices too
Thank cross

Crossbones knows. The 288 is the best Radiomir rep ever made.

+2 on the 288, just received mine from a member and it's a beautiful watch. Feels great on the wrist.

The 309 with the gold rehaut has always tickled my fancy. The watch is very accurate including the Ti case. The movement is the only issue but I think the maker did a good job.

The main issue to me is not the movement about the PAM 309 .
The reason why is the case .
Check the side of the case :
PAM-2010-11-09-01-03_enl.jpg


The edge is square unlike the radiomir case , like most of the DSN Radiomir case . Missing the sharp angles makes it looks off .
Here's the Gen. , and check the case side .
You will know what I mean .

I agree with Frig, this is a beautiful watch and the maker has done a good job in the movement. Unfortunately IMO it is not enough and the case is inaccurate.

I agree with Goin the case is inaccurate and the gold-ring contour of the dial is very evidsent in the rep.
I like a lot this watch, but due to above mentioned reasons I have evaluated it as a Low-grade rep.

The 288 now also comes in a seagull movement so it could be a lot more reliable than the standard 7750. Just not sure if it is by the same makers...

What about the 232?

The Seagull is a famous and very reliable movement but the current A7750 are very reliable too.

All the questions about this watches are answered with detail in the PAM GUIDE:
"Reference PAM REVIEW-GUIDE" - Replica Search, Identification, Evaluation & Selection

Just going through that ref guide now. Is very comprehensive. Great work.

I always thought the the 7750's were slightly more risky and required a fairly pricey service at some stage in their lives? That's why I would like to go for a closed back rad with seconds at 9 so that if it does somehow fail I could buy another movement for less than $50.
