Yep, it arrived today  It's really, really nice. NO pix yet so sorry guys... but this thing has been an absolute safe queen. Came with stickers from the factory on it, and seriously not a single hairline anywhere, not even the buckle. The previous owner said he bought it BNIB, wore it home from the AD and then put it in the safe... and I believe him. Love the sammy dial too!  |

Congrats John! I know you wanted this one for a while now.  Mike emailed me that he had a peek at it and said it was pristine. Sounds like a great purchase. |

After much lusting I'm now of the opinion the Radiomir is one of the nicest models in the range! Still unmistakeadly Panerai with that unique and endearing cool factor and look but more elegant and versatile depending how you dress it up [straps ] as a timepiece steve  |

Thanks guys... this is one honey of a watch. I even like the OEM strap on it... it sits lower on the wrist and so the thinner OEM strap suits it well. Love the simplicity of the base. |

Very nice! Are you done, or do you have another grail or two to pursue?
I'm done, but maybe there's just one more. Hmmmm.

I predict there will be another one join the stable before the end of the summer... then I will patient wait for the fourth and final one, likely next year.

very elegant..in pic 5 looks much larger than the pannie!! how big is this watch? Mamas, there's a bit of a paralax happening there, but the 210 is 45mm while the Fiver is 44. But in my watch case, the Fiver fits tighter than the 210... more likely cuz of the crown guard. The 210 does not wear like a 45mm watch at all. |

The 210 does not wear like a 45mm watch at all. Absolutely! I was actually quite surprised at how small such a large watch can feel. It's still big, but not as big as you would expect! |

Thanks again. Totally enjoying this. The sandwich dial really gives the dial depth. The lume is amazing too. The lume shot above was taken hand held, so that gives you an idea how bright it is. |
