New arrival - Radiomir 572. Sold the Panerai blue faced GMT (946) and went back to basics with this one. Very comfortable fit for a 45mm as only 12mm thick. P4000 automatic movement and 100m WR. Warranty to 2029! Apologies for quality of lume shot but hopefully it gives some indication of what it looks like. Have been looking at this particular model for a few years and cannot understand why Panerai decided to discontinue it and replace it with some of their current offerings.

The low setting sun setting off the blued hands and numerals to good affect. I really don't wear this watch enough. It's the nearest thing to a dress watch I have everything else is divers or G shocks! We were out for dinner yesterday so for once I stuck a shirt and this on and didn't bother swapping this morning.
I can't remember when I last wore it it was still on summer time and I don't remember wearing it since last year. Still pretty accurate was only 4 seconds out against the radio controlled Casios! Battery is running low though was ticking 2 seconds at a time. Strangely went back to normal after a while on my wrist. No it's not kinetic or solar! Must pick up a battery for it.

I recently picked up a 2nd hand Hamtun H2 Kraken with an SW-200 for a very reasonable price (Thanks @funkyouup )
Bought this as a stopgap to cover me whilst I considered buying a new Pelagos.
I am very surprised and happy with the piece, far higher quality of finishing than I was expecting. Excellent finishing on the dial and in particular the indices. Crown at 4 makes for a comfortable wear and it's nicely signed too.
The only part of the watch I have any issue at all with? Is the clasp, that said? I have Sinn bracelet clasps that are just as rattly. The bracelet, watch, dial, bezel, bezel action and the movement all belie the very reasonable price of this watch IMO.
I will keep an eye out for a titanium milled clasp with an easylink style adjust and see about swapping.
Other than that however? Honestly feel that this is a very good piece and with a better clasp? Would be on a par with a Pelagos at a far, far lower price and IMO a nicer dial/bezel.

Totally agree, the lug width on this is 20mm but the watch itself is slightly larger than the old Sub's 39mm and smaller than the new Sub's 41mm and the Pelagos 42mm.
It's a good compromise IMO. It manages to wear similar to a Sub but with the benefits of the Pelagos. Lumed bezel, 60 clicks, positive and precise bezel action, well lumed hands and indices and a chapter ring.
Now of course this isn't a luxury watch! The value it represents for what it is tho? Is IMHO considerable (2nd hand or KS pricing 😉) I've owned a Pelagos so my very definite opinion on this watch versus the 5line Tudor is...
If the name recognition,in-house movement and absolutely brilliant clasp on the Tudor matter? It's a better watch.
But this? Honestly runs it very, very close at 1/10 of the price. I was on the fence about buying a new Pelagos, this has scratched that so I may go with 2 Sinn's next rather than just one 🤣
I've but it on the rubber strap and one of the additional clasps that were sent with it. I may dig out the scotchbrite pad and the fibreglass brush to match up the Stainless clasp better with the head.
