Hi Everyone-
So I'm "struggling" with this first world problem.
I'm trying to choose between 2 green dialed Radiomirs.

The first is a pre-owned 735
The second would be a new 998

Not looking for other suggestions etc., my other two PAMs I already own are the 1118 and 1055.

I like these both of these and am not leaning one way or the other, so I figured all things being equal, I'd come here and ask what you all think.

I appreciate the insight and thank you in advance.

998, based purely on the image you’ve shown.

735. Like the wire lugs more than the 1940 case.

JayHantz · 15 December 2021, 10:04 PM

I am more of a 998 fan, just because I don't like the cyclops.

998

samson66 · 15 December 2021, 10:32 PM

I like the am/pm GMT function, so top for me

mg18 · 15 December 2021, 11:45 PM

998 for sure.

Depends on your wrist to a certain degree… the wire lugs will wear smaller.

It’s a tough one but I prefer the aesthetic of the 998 but I’ve always wanted to try a wire lug rad

michaelodonnell123 · 16 December 2021, 12:23 AM

998 all the way.

Tough - love wire lugs, hate cyclops. Also not as big of a fan of the 1940 on the Radiomir (although I do have one). I just think the 735 crown is more of what I like a “Radiomir” to look like, especially with wire lugs. I would try to get past the cyclops and go with the 735. GMT would be my only reason for going with the other if that was a factor.

I believe the 998 has a super dome crystal like the 233. That's my pick.

Cru Jones · 16 December 2021, 06:24 AM

Given the 1118 and 1055, I would go for the 998. It complements well the other two. Then round out the PAM collection with a classic wire lug Radiomir like a 232 or 210.

998. It works better with the green dial.

I'd go the 735 as i prefer the wire lug Radiomirs
Not too keen on the cyclops but the rest of it is nice

998

For me it’s the 735, I prefer the overall look and it’s more of a classic Radiomir style. No wrong choice though.
