Radiomir vs. Luminor
- Thread starter ssclassa80
- Start date
I prefer the Radiomir over the Luminor. Much more elegant. Just got the PAM292 Ceramic from puretime. Worth every dollar.

Just added a nice 380 to compliment the 309... and then this 504 news! Must resist.... but I'll check back later...
And nice choice in the 292Ceramic^^^

The 504 is on PC now. Might be from KW.

Yeah, believe it to be KW on the 504 and 505. I prefer my radiomir's without date so my nod would go to the 504.
Yeah, its KW. Here's a link to the photo review I posted earlier on my new 505:

Jeremy - yes I saw your review the day it posted, thanks for all of the info!
As for the radiomir screws, i plan to pick a strap and stick with it. I will also be using loctite (i hear purple is best) to hopefully prevent any losening

Luminor for me.
First because of size, it's hard for the skinny-wrist-contingent to pull off a big Radi without looking stupid. At 7" the highest I'll go in any watch is 44mm, and even that's a stretch really.
Second because it's more of a sport/activity look which is better for daily use. The Radi to me is more elegant, with a slight throwback look, versus the more modern hard edges of the Luminor.
In a perfect world we all have rose gold Radiomirs for black tie/formal events, and sharp stainless Luminors for the day to day work at the office. That's how I see it.

Radiomir's seem to wear smaller to me. The 288k is still the only Pam that I've had any love for.

Recent pics of my 47mm Radiomir (PAM 309):
I have a 7" wrist and think this is about the limit for me. Similar to the B&R BR01 I used to own (which is 46mm). Both watches have a fairly low profile so they don't wear that large. Luminors are pretty tall and a 45mm Radiomir wears smaller than a 44mm Luminor in my experience. The softer edges of the Rad case also help in this regard. I'll post pics of my 380 soon.

I like the Luminor a lot but I love my 292, it's such a beauty I could just look at it all day long
