What Radiomir Is This?

You are right about his part numbers. They are not relative to manufacuturer part numbers. His description curiously does not really contain any PAM part number that is relative. Most of his other part descriptions do contain the PAM model number someplace.

It looks like a Pam 147 - but I don't know if it was ever made with a white face. I coulld be mistaken, but I don't think that any Radiomir was ever made with a white dial. (HFC sits back, awaiting flames :))

Here is my rose gold Pam 147 from Joshua. The second pic shows it mounted on a genuine alligator strap custom made by Banda:

The Radiomir case design was made in (approx) 42mm, 45mm and 47mm. 42mm is correct for the 147.

Edit to add: These dimensions do not include the crown. If Silix is including the crown, it would explain the discrepancy. I am sure that his watch uses the same case-set as my 147

Thanks Clive,

I pretty much narrowed it down to a white 147, if that exists, as well. No 44mm Radiomirs. I think he has same measurments as a 45mm Black Seal etc for this.

I have seen yours many times when talking about dress watches and find it at the top of my list so far. Are these Radiomirs pretty close to gen? I don't hear much critiquing like the other PAM's.

How is the lume and AR on yours?
What size strap is on yours? I heard they take a 24/20 or 24/22 unlike most 42mm watches.

Hi Austin,

There is no AR on my 147. I have no idea if the original had it or not. As only a handful were ever made, I'm unlikely to find out, either...

I can tell you that the upper pusher is incorrect - it should not appear to be a screw-down. Oh - I think there is an issue with the 6 o'clock subdial, too.

Again, only a handful were ever made, so if anyone ever calls me out on this, he will more likely be a rep expert rather than a Paneristi :)

The lume is rep lume. Not a problem. I never need to know the time when I am asleep. :D

Edit: Sorry, I didn't answer your question about strap size. The strap on my 147 is 26 x 22mm

However, this strap, on my 183, is 27 x 22mm.

Wow! What a difference one millimetre makes!

As I said to the wife, only last night... :wink:

Thanks Clive,

I could only find a small bit of info on the 147 and they are quite obscure as you mention. Getting called out on it is about as unlikely as it gets. I think they only made them in yellow gold as well but who cares.

Thanks for the strap size. Is that an HKTan alligator on your 183? I like that color. Is it a brown that has red tones or is it just the light? I am having a hard time finding a dark brown with significant red tones in it and the burgendy's get all pink looking.

One millimetre can go a very long way when it has to.
