Radiomir with sandwhich dial (183, 210 and 388)

[CWU]

Dear all,

I am a Panerai fan for many years now but only recently I started to appreciate the Radiomir design.

With help from Ale7575's list, I found out that I like the following Radiomir's with a sandwich dial: PAM183, PAM210 and PAM388. However I learned from his excel file that these reps are not quite flawless. (of course none is, but hopefully you will understand my point).

The file I referred to above was updated 27 July 2014, does anyone know if there were new reps of the 183, 210 or 388 manufactured since 2014 and subsequently if these reps are nearly gen?

Thanks a lot in advance.

Kind regards,

CWU

the 388 has been updated by VSF with a correct looking movement now so it would be considered a super rep in my opinion.... as it was almost one before the update but was only because of the wrong looking movement before, now this has been fixed.

I have it and it is a lovely looking watch.

Thank for your reply. Good to learn that you consider it as a super rep. I assume that the version you mentioned is: PAM388 V2 VSF (link)

This is also a nice one, I like the matching color with the strap.

For your information, I have ordered the 388 and just received the QC pics. I have a concern in that respect. Hopefully, the picture is correctly shown below. My concern is that the color of the font is a bit yellow/green rather than green. (the words 'Radiomir Black Seal Panerai")

May I ask your opinion in that respect?

it looks correct to me, lighting and photos can make things look different all the time, pic here of a genuine one - https://www.chrono24.co.uk/panerai/radiomir--id6269003.htm

the text shouldn't be green but more of a cream colour

the new VSF v2 388 is an awesome rep. the models before this with incorrect movement were bordering super rep status so with this new movement with correct balance wheel placement and similar functions would definitely elevate it to super rep status IMHO

Colors look fine to me too. Should be cream text.

Here you can see the colors on my gen 210 which should be similar in color i think.

The 388 finally arrived this week. Thanks for your suggestions and help.

With regard to the VSF 388 versions, what's the difference with the v1 and v2? I can't seem to find any info. Thanks.
