I think this is the longest I've gone with an OEM strap, but tonight I got home and decided it was time to swap the OEM black calf (which I like a lot on the 210) and put on the dark brown gator i bought a few weeks back.    I'm digging the brown gator and might have to get a black one too. |

That brown gator looks great!  How easy is it to change the straps on a Radiomir? Is it as easy as the Luminor? |

It's no where near as easy since you have to undo two screws but jiggle the bar until it pulls out, since you don't want the screws to completely unthread cuz they're a pain to put back in... then you have to pull the bar apart, and put it back together and line it all up and tighten the screws back in. I guess once i change it more I'll feel more comfortable. It's not that difficult really, but the Luminor is a snap to do. This is easy but not a snap. |

Sounds like a PITA John....think I'd leave it on for a while. Save the every day strap changes for the 005.  |

Nice John! The brown works well with the black face of the watch. |

John,
I've never really been able to cuddle up with Panerai, but your watch combined with that strap looks marvelous!

Thanks guys, appreciate the kind words. I have to say the 210 is really pushing the fiver for wrist time. It may well have met it's match cuz the hardest decision I have each day is which one to wear... life is good.  |

So what does a PAM190 8 Days Radiomir go for? $6-7K used? |

So what does a PAM190 8 Days Radiomir go for? $6-7K used? Usually closer to $7K but it has been discontinued (like the 210) so my guess it'll escalate in price shortly. That JLC movement is butta smooth... much nicer than the P.2002 in-house by a mile. |
