My bad BD!

 

G'day

About the 1st point, i actually realised my own mistake after reading a bit more on it ( that the numbers were referring to percentage values in the alloy), thanks for pointing that out, and well i hope others will read your post!

As for the second point, i guess my wording was wrong, i did write most industries, but i guess i got mixed up and wrote what i wasn't thinking!

I was trying to say that for the watch industry, and in this particular case, while one is putting the 309 on on your wrist, it can withstand virtually anything that you throw at it! Because of course when you talk about high temperature, you will probably expire way before the watch melts!

I do apologise for the misinformation!

Have a g'day mate!

Stephen

Ciao Paneristis! Hope you all had a great day! I'm here to share some photos that i took of the watch that accompanied me for this day, the Radiomir Titanium PAM 309! I really love this watch, because not only is it a SE 47mm Raddy, but it is the 1st Radd...  

Thanks for this nice post, Stephen

You're so greedy, my friend. You just got your 309, then you locked an Egiziano, and now you want a Re Edition of a 2533? Good to share your enthusiasm and passion, my friend. Thanks for these pics. some are nice, indeed. Best. Nicolas

Got to take you up on a couple of things, Stephen

I don't know where you got this bit from: "which is an alloy whose molecule has the structure Ti-6Al-4V [ that is one atom of Titanium is bonded to 6 atoms of Aluminium which in turn is bonded to 4 Vanadium]" But that's not how alloy nomenclature works. I... 

Stephen, this watch is really amazing.

not to mention about the movements but the special characters of this watch make it very special for collector. Well, I think the re-edition of 2533 might be happen as Panerai's edition of the recent few pieces (26, 28, egiz.) got very success. Only time ... 

Congrats Stephen

Especially on that brown croc strap! I can't really see from the photos , but is yours the 309 or the 322? Glad to hear this is your "King of Rads" as well! Cheers and have a great evening! Stephen

It's the 309

while I love the dark brown of dial of the 322, I feel the matt-gray toned black dial of the 309 gives me more options with with strap combinations....

Nice shots and a nice watch.

I am surprised by the view of the ring in your macro focuses on Made L. Could you please explain why the tooths are on the oposite side of the ring? Regards, patrickh

Dear Patrick...

the tooth are on top of the ring itself, and well they are part of the ring, so what are you referring to about them being opposite? I'm sorry if i don't really comprehend what you are asking, could you put it more into details? Cheers Stephen

looking closely to mine I understood that the tooth is on top of

Metallurgy, materials science, and more. Stephen, we need you to make your own alloy some day! It will be 50% platinum, 33% Titanium, and 17% Osmium. We'll call it Platismium.
