I am in love with the 336 seems like no AD carry it, I would love to try it on since I have a 6" wrist.

Want to try on soooo badly!!!! Love how they left the text on the top and not the bottom.

What lug size does it take?

I think it comes with a 25mm strap, but all the ones I show in the pictures above are the standard OEM 24mm.

Thanks all!

Cru Jones 29 March 2011 05:49 PM

VERY NICE! Congratulations.

Newbie question (I thought I'd ask, since this 338 is gorgeous and you've got me thinking.....)....My AD here (boutique in Paris) told me they recommend for Radiomirs to bring them to the shop to switch straps, because it's more difficult than the Luminors or quick change.....Do you find that to be the case?

swatty 29 March 2011 06:49 PM

Looks great, enjoy :thumbsup::cheers:

It's tue that the Rads are more difficult. First, you have to buy the right screwdriver as one is not supplied with the watch (the Luminor screwdrivers are too big). Second, you have to have steady hands (or some use methods like tape) or you run the risk of scratching up your caseback. Third, you would be well served to watch a YouTube video first because the actual wire changing system isn't exactly intuitive. Once you get the hang of it it is super easy.

I was more a Luminor fan until I saw this. Very nice!!

Wisconsin Proud 31 March 2011 01:32 AM

Nice watch.

Where are all the members advocating the larger 45mm size? Panerai is all about large, ya know? Nobody is asking him to trade it for a 45mm even though 45mm is too large for him.:agree:

I'm disappointed.:cheers:

jvo300 3 April 2011 01:46 PM

A couple more shots.

I got it used, so I can't say with certainty. My guess is that it is the special tanning you find in the simple order form on the ABP site.
