The 45mm Radiomirs, with wire lugs, do wear smaller than their numbers might suggest. Still not a small watch, but there is no such thing as a one size fits all watch. I wouldn't be scared off by the headline number. I have a dozen Panerai in the collection, so I'm definitely a fan. I think I am more taken with their older pieces, unless it is a high complication newer piece. Though those are out of the budget at this point. My favorite 45mm wire lug Radiomirs would be the PAM 190, PAM 200, and PAM 231. I have examples of each and if I ever had to put the collection on a serious diet, those would be the last to go, for sure. I would add the PAM 268 to the favourite list, though I find it has too much overlap with the three I noted to have a place in the current collection. As for this 1382, I like it, but not enough to add it to the watch box.

I like the simplicity of this watch. Not fussy, simply crisp and neat.

It wears more like a 42mm watch and the blue dial is stunning, the faux patina is a bit irksome, but honestly, it’s a nice contrast to the blue and probably works better than white would have

You'd have to pay me. Good review, though. Relicked guitars. Fauxtina. Why not relicked cars and fauxstain underwear? I want that one cuz it looks aged.

45mm is going against the current size trend but perhaps they are catering to those who are thick of both wrist and wallet.

Hi Tim: Aside from any other considerations, if I had five grand to spend on a watch I wouldn't choose this model because of its crown, which looks fragile and more suited for a lady's watch. Thank you for your concern in informing us what is happening in the watch industry. Regards from Chile! (Noel rides again, which at this point is saying a lot...😆).

Panerai has been using that same crown design since the 1930's, with many of those originals still ticking away today. That crown is not fragile by any means.

It’s amazing how the watch wears. I bought the new online exclusive Radiomir, chocolate brown with small seconds at 9. Looks great, I like the heritage, and in my older years, so easy to read. Most of my watches are 39 to 42 mm’s. I get comments on this watch way more than I do my Wimbledon.

Roger Smith's watches have a 2.5 Hz frequency and they're some of the most expensive in the world. It has been proven to have no bearing on the ability to keep time.

@johnanth that's going to be wrong; there's a reason quartz is more accurate than anything mechanical; there's a reason a high frequency quartz movement is more accurate than a normal quartz. A cursory search would suggest its a function of resolution. I'll search for a paper or text on the subject, cos now I'm curious.

@@kaczynski2333 it's not wrong. Quartz is more accurate because it can retain it's frequency to a small bounding (it's about ±10 vibrations). Uncut quartz crystals are often less accurate than many mechanical watches but they're in most internet connected devices as they are slightly cheaper, and those devices can simply correct the time from atomic clocks on the internet via the NTP. In mechanical watches, it is all about how well regulated the watch is these days, and as a secondary consideration, how well it can retain that regulation over time.

But the fauxtina ... no, it's not possible to see it as just a colour. I really tried and even bought a watch with fauxtina, and sold it again after a few weeks. Yes, it's also just a colour, but we all know why it is exactly that colour and not pink or blue. Let's be real. We know what the intention was. And that's why it hurts.

Floundering a bit a simply trying to stay relevant. Their fans are their own worst enemy in a lot of ways, by trapping them in their own formula. It’s played out to a large degree, super large watches, even those that wear well, they are waning in terms of appeal. Tim is correct - the lume is simply another color. The lack of a true sandwich dial is disappointing, but it points towards a bigger problem - if this truly is a faux Panerai, the real Panerai are too damned costly relative to what’s being offered. You can easily buy a PAM00183 this very day, they don’t go for crazy money, not exactly a bargain either.
