Radiomir Wempe 42 mm Manual Wind

[lanikai]

This is a 42 mm Radiomir Wempe Chrono.. the genuine article is extremely priced and only a limited amount was manufactured.. I didn't know those facts until after I had ordered it.. I actually liked the 42mm case size as opposed to other Radiomirs.. I remember Ssurfer as having the only other one that was posted .. we had gotten them about the same time // I cannot find them on the dealer site any longer..

if I remember correct the minor flaw was one of the pushers.. I believe the one @2 should not have the sleeve.. but since the genuine is so rare.. it wouldn't matter to me ...

what would really do this right would be a nice gator strap from HK..

I did not take a pic of the buckle.. which I should of .. it is very unique actually..

Enjoy the pics..

thanks for viewing

That is an incredible piece!! I think I want one now! A 42mm would be great for my smaller wrist! I definitely can't do the standard 45mm ones. Looks quite silly on me!

Thanks for the pics Lani!

Great Pics, Lanikai. I don't think there being advertised but if you search around you'll probably find a few.

The only Radiomir that I really like. As I've made a deal with a member on one of these (luv dat ST19 movement ), I should have one in a few weeks. What size strap do they use though?

Apparently cartel stopped carrying these 2 yes ago. Drulee, u got a lead on these? I agree this is the only rad that I like also. The 214 is a close second

Strap size is 24/20 JJ .. the buckle is sewn in .. with 'Panerai' engraved on the buckle tongue.

[LapTime]

Probably my favorite Panerai. Thanks for sharing!

Now i have to go get one for myself...

Getting mine from another member. Don't think any dealers have these anymore.

That's good news, so any of my existing thinner 24/22 straps should look alright on it then.

EDIT: By the way, even though it is not like the gen, I like the crown surrounding the pusher at 2

[chudd]

Oh comon, i cant want every single watch i see from Panerai.

when is this going to stop? No one should covet this much!

[Drulee]

Just got the tracking number for my Wempe!!!! Damned excited about getting it now. Your pix are what pushed me over the edge on whether to pick it up or not, thanks lanikai ( I think).

Can you post a pic of what the strap looks like from lug to buckle? I'm trying to decide if any of my existing 24/22 straps will suit it, or if I should go strap shopping again

[pbdad]

Beautiful...I've always been very fond of the wempe Rad.

But, it always seems to be pushed back on my watch priority list.

[malfa]

anyone have a lead on buying one of these? preowned? new?

DAMN that watch looks niiiiiiiice....maybe without the CG the wife will warm up to pam's

[lanikai]

I don;t think I'll be selling mine anytime soon it's different that's for sure..the lume is still good .. all I need is a gen gator strap..

I have another model of the same size.. I need to get pics up of that one too,,

Not only a nice size, but an awesome watch you have there Lani!

I remember Ssurfer as having the only other one that was posted ..

Correct Lani. Just, mine is the "other" 42mm radiomir, the 147.

Please let me submit a couple of pics of it once again. I had it re-plated in true rose gold, 7 micron thick, and the first pusher fixed. And I still am quite proud of it.

good to see you posting M !!!!!

it's an honour to have your beautiful Wempe on the thread.. and it has been taken to another level !!! that is Super Bad !!! :thumbsupsmileyanim:

if I remember correctly you also modded the strap in that it's shinier with some substance you applied to it ???

and yes the pusher was the only flaw which you have taken care off... Outstanding as your watches always are. !!!

still the only member with the older PR reserve model (I forget the #)with the correct date font. !!

Be Well my Friend !!!

Looks good gold plated, very nice. Personally, I still prefer the two sub-dials over three, and even liked the "crown like" top pusher - but I've always had odd taste

[sssurfer]

Good to be here, R, and it's a honour to me to post my 147 close to your awesome 204.

if I remember correctly you also modded the strap in that it's shinier with some substance you applied to it ???

Wow R, you have good memory!

Actually, I just oiled the strap and coloured the original white stitching in rose gold with a Letraset magic marker. I would encourage everyone to use this method, it is easy and absolutely inexpensive and it gives good results.

A couple of pics to better show my point.

The original watch & strap from Josh. Besides the unlikely rose gold, I could not really stand the terrible white stitching:

Wristhot after the treatment -- side:

and back:

still the only member with the older PR reserve model (I forget the #)with the correct date font. !!

You teaser! You know I cannot stay indifferent to such a call!

It's my 090 -- and even if the font is not really perfect, still it is a decent improvement over the standard font:

Be Well my Friend !!!

Be Well You too R! And congrats to you and Drulee!

Is this Panerai Wempe the PAM204 model? If so the chrono start button is different from the gen. The gen does not have the screw. Or is the one here a different model?
