Radiomir on a Luminor Rubber Strap
I recently picked up a PAM 512 as my daily:
The 512 is perfect to me. The P.999 movement is ultra slender so it sits perfectly on my tiny wrists and the 42mm size is on point. A weird part of me really wanted the Radiomir look on a typically-Luminor OEM rubber strap. Thoughts? Am I crazy? Purists, don't hate me! |

Great combo that definitely works! I was thinking you had it on a wire loop Rad, and thought that may look funky!

For me, the rubber strap does not work with the 512. It does't look horrible, it just looks odd.
The 512 is dressy (by Panerai standards, anyway) and looks best with a leather strap. |

Looks good. To me, half of the fun with Panerai is the straps. No issue.

Thanks, everyone. Honestly it sits a little high so I'm still on the fence. May switch back...

For me, it's a winner. Love the look!

Nice! I slightly prefer it on a leather strap but it'll be nice to have rubber for the hotter days since it's going to be your daily.

maybe a non-OEM smooth rubber would work better? i don't know. for me, the sporty side of the OEM rubber clashes a bit with the 512.
