I've found my calling....Radiomir 183 / 292 Side By Side
 
In the past 6 months I've been going back and forth between different Luminor models. A few weeks ago, I picked up a 183 and couldn't keep it off my wrist. It felt comfortable, and fit well with my work and play attire.

Just two weeks later my AD called and said that he had a 292 K series just come in and that he could hold it for me, but I had to be quick before one of his colleagues scooped it up. Well...I picked it up and this will be my last purchase of the year (I promised the wife :crying:)

This year I've gone from 112 to 176 to 177 to 005 and finally 183/292.

Both of these beauties are keepers!!! :thumbsup:

Here they are side by side!

Nice collection. I have to say the 292 has grown on me recently and is a bit special.

Love the Rads. What's the strap you have on the 292?

Hi Milan,

The strap I've put on the 292 is a Mario Paci. I currently have a strap maker here in Hong Kong that is working on a couple of straps for me specifically for the 292. I will definitely post them once I get them in - hopefully by the end of the year.

Cheers,

Eric

Eric - are you able to share the strap maker? I have a slight problem with sizing for off the shelf straps.

Blackseal love! :cool:

You've got PM :thumbsup:

I'm invited to a Panerai event tomorrow night at European Watch Company in TST. Do you want to join? It's an event show casing their P9000 movement.

Cheers,

Eric

I love the 292 too - but after wearing it about a dozen times and worrying about scratching it I don't think I feel comfortable always babying it when I take it out. It's a love hate dilemma!!!!

brkanand 28 December 2009 01:41 AM

Congrats friend. Enjoy

My 292 holds up very well. Maybe the best of all of my watches... Wear it and enjoy. Definitely a unique piece!
