For sale is a Chinese made homage to the Panerai Radiomir PAM158. It features a hand wound Sea-Gull Chronograph movement, stainless steel case, sapphire crystal, and mineral display back.

Asking $150 including the Crown & Buckle strap ($25 value), which is much nicer than the original strap. Watch is located in Vancouver and would prefer a local face to face deal, but shipping can be arranged for extra cost. Payment via Interac e-transfer if outside the lower mainland. No trades.

Bought it in December 2013 to try out a Panerai style watch (I am now saving up for a real Radiomir). It is in good condition and all functions operate perfectly, keeping good time the dozen or so days I wore it, no dents on the case. There are some very fine hairline scratches around the case visible under direct light but these should polish out if you try (hard to see or photograph). The lugs are held in with small screws allowing the strap to be changed. Domed Crystal and back display window are perfect.

This is the actual watch featured in the following review (I purchased it directly from Josh, the reviewer): http://www.watchitallabout.com/alpha-radomir-chronograph-watch-review/

Comes with Alpha travel pouch, instruction card, C&B strap and original extra strap.

MOVEMENT : Hand wind mechanical chronograph Sea-Gull ST1901 (also known as the TY-2901). 23 jewels, 42 hour power reserve, column wheel controlled lever movement.

CHRONOGRAPH FUNCTION : 30 MINUTES COUNTER HAND AT 3, SMALL SECOND HAND AT 9. 24 hour dial at 6.

DIAL : SANDWICH BLACK DIAL, Green numerals and Lume.
CRYSTAL : DOME SAPPHIRE CRYSTAL
CASE : 316L SOLID STAINLESS STEEL POLISHED FINISH CASE

STRAP : Watch is now on a 24mm Crown & Buckle Habitue Anthracite Calf, and also comes with the original Alpha Black leather strap with 2 extra holes punched into it to fit smaller wrists.

CASE SIZE : 42.5MM EXCLUDING THE CROWN, LUGS TO LUGS 45MM
CASE THICKNESS : 15.5mm (INCLUDE CRYSTAL)
WEIGHT (approx) : 95g

Crown and pushers do not screw down so limited water resistance. I believe Alpha quotes it as 3AT.

There is a small speck of dust inside the green 5 o'clock marker which was there from the factory. Can barely be seen in the photos, taken today:
