The Panerai Source Forums

Hi, my first post but i've been lurking on the forum and the review website for a while. great resource of course - great job.

very specific question: heroic18 is having a great promotion right now - buy a strap and get a free strap (no buckle) for free. i am salivating about getting one, especially given positive reviews etc. nothwithstanding the great deal, these are also 27/24 and i think that is what i need. i currently have three 26/24's and i think i can use another milimeter at the lugs. 27/24 is a better fit for a RADIOMIR than 26/24 - IMHO. do you agree?

The 27/24 straps for sale are various colors and i am not really sure which one would work best with my Radiomir 183H.

here is the link http://www.heroic18.com/product-list.ph ... cate_id=20

i am leaning towards the the Saddle Brown with beige stitching or Italian Aged Cocoa with beige. Yet I also like dark brown. Anyways, i am confused. Which one goes with my RAD best?

appreciate your suggestions. FYI - i currently own a black panatime real gator, plus OEM black with black stitching, plus BOB tabac gator 26/26.

thx everyone for your suggestions.

I would lean towards the Dark brown or the Crazy horse myself... but I have never owned a Rad myself so I might not be the best judge.

I have an aged cocoa beige strap of Heroic18 fitted on my 312. I have tried two other straps but I kept on going back to this Heroic18 aged cocoa for this model. I think this is because of the thick case of the Luminor 312 which looks pretty good.

I have also tried a thick strap on my 287 (Rad blackseal automatic) but somehow it seems not ok and does not look good, perhaps due to my taste. Recently, I sold the thick strap and switched to an OEM nubuck thin black strap and began liking my 287 again. But that's me. Hope this will help. Cheers !
