Radiomir really not popular?

[keltzar]

i've been looking around, and trying both the luminor and radiomir trying to decide which one is "it" for me...

I have kinda decided that I would like a radiomir, the only question is which one.

it seems that Radiomirs are really much less popular than the luminors. Does anyone have any insight into why ?

I've looked at the 210, the 183 and the 287.
which of the 3 would be best if I only want "the one" pan?

I think Ferrari is the worst lah

one and only radiomir i would buy is the 190...hey is there any particular reason for the black seal?

[keltzar]

erm, I've been wondering about that - what's Black Seal?

No particular reason otherwise... I found the 210 too plain and the 287 a bit cluttered, so the 183 was the intermediate and more affordable model. And I like the exhibition back of the 183 & 210.

The 190 is nice, but at that price i would probably rather have a solid gold watch of another make.

I've actually been offered luminors at more attractive prices than the rads offered to me ... but luminors have not grown on me ... not the actual ones I've tried, nor the homage ones either. So I know its just the design is not my style.

hmmm...ok,of the 3s i pick 210 cos it resember the almighty PAM21!! i'll preferred without the words 1950,black seal,8 GIORNI BREVETTATO on the dials

[keltzar]

The Pam21 is nice. ... hmm, maybe I should revisit the 210 huh.

the luminor constantly overshadows the radiomir simply because the distinctive crownguard is what everyone associates Panerai to be. following from this, collectors usually grab a luminor first and then a radiomir.
to me, the luminor has a more subtle, classy look as compared to a luminor which is more robust/garang/ fierce look.
if you have already decided to get a radiomir, I will advise only the 190 and following a very very very distant second, the 210.

yes agreed, no doubt, get the 190, if not 249 also nice

... 190 is a bit out of budget for a first Pam.

I considered the luminors ... but they don't do it for me. I tried a homage first, design didn't excite me. Then I tried a few luminors at the shops ... didn't do it for me either.

But when I put on a radiomir, that was it. I prefer something more dressy. I have kinda settled on a 183 ... but not easy to find leh.

PAM 210 will be a compromise I think.

if the 190 does not move you like the 183, definitely go for the 183.
but if what you really want is the 190 and going for the 183 as a compromise , you may wish to reconsider.
Have fun!
And put up pics when you get the 183/190!
