Which Rad ???

[theyorkshireman]

Find myself fancying a Rad next... Is there a stand out from the rest must be bought edition ?? And who from ??

 

[slaughterer62]

292, 380 are both super-reps
the rest (unless Davidson or vintage) are subject to reservation IMO

 

[smokiedabong]

Easy, 288

 

[shelby1501]

292?

 

[rick999]

292

 

[KBH]

Easy, 288

Yep!

 

[slaughterer62]

288 if you need the chrono.

 

[nlnlnlnene]

288.

380 is not a super rep due to the PANER_AI

 

[shyreplover]

288 if you need the chrono.

288, even if you don't need a chrono :thumbsup:

Not a huge Rad fan, but the 288 is a looker.

The stand out Radiomirs (considered super-reps) are the following:

PAM 288 - K-series H-Maker with A7750 (not the K-series from the "other factory" which uses the ST19 Seagull movement)
PAM 292 - M-series H-Maker (J-series H-Maker and J/N-series Noob are first class pending super rep review)

The PAM380, although with the PANER_AI flaw (bigger gap between those two letters) makes it an almost super-rep status (you would have to see the dial up close to discern the gap).

Good luck with your hunt. Post some wristies when you've gotten it.

288K with 7750 is dope. I've got so many compliments it's just unreal. 292J is also awesome. I love them both.

I like something simple, like a 373/449.

I like something simple, like a 373/449.

But the current replica of the 373 is low-grade while the 449 has not been replicated yet. And the OP requested for stand out reps.

It depends on how close you want your rep to be.

Do you want it to be credible while sitting next to a gen in the hands of a Paneristi?
Then there's no OTB rep that can be good enough.

Credible while sitting next to a gen in the hands of a normal Panerai owner, 288 is good enough. maybe also 292.

Credible while sitting at an arm's length from the eye of anyone 5 feet away from you, almost any rep from TDs is good enough.

 

[slaughterer62]

All of these can be Franken'ed to near gen cosmetics if you can get some gen dials.

 

[JoehwrfcJ]

Anyone know of a good 232?

 

[Arancini]

Is there a good Rep of a Rad with date?

 

[Alex_P1]

I love my 292M, can't fault it and enjoy wearing it everytime I put it on.

I doubt any of us buys our PAM reps (even super rep level) to be credible in the eyes of Paneristi. We just buy them because it looks nice. :cheers:
