Choosing my first Panerai
Hi. I'm new to this forum (frequent reader, never posted) and new to Panerai. I've been smitten. I'd like advice from the experts on choosing my first Panerai. Some parameters to help: I'd like a Radiomir. I like the clean, simple dials (The Cali first caught my eye and drew me in). I'm looking for something tough enough to handle most situations (i.e., a daily beater). Based on a visit to an AD and all my reading, I've come up with two that might work: 120 or 190. Other suggestions? Comments on the 120 v. 190? The floor is now yours.

Do you have the correct PAM?

Do you have the correct PAM...
No. Thank you for letting me know Anthony. I've been looking at the 00210 base Radiomir and the 190. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.
120 versus 190?
190! Without any hesitation. Classic, elegant, even dressy, this is one of the nicest Radiomirs, to me. Best, Nicolas
120 versus 190?
You're right. I've been looking at the 00210 and 190. So, please, wade in and send me your thoughts. Thanks.
120 vs 190?
Ah, Nico. So glad to hear you weigh in. You give marvelous, clear advice. As I see it, the 190 is a beautiful watch. Can be dressed up or down. Has clean dial except for the added seconds hands. The 8 day power reserve is a big plus because you get the th...
I would say
between the 210 & 190, the choice would be rather obvious, if you don't take pricing into consideration: Both at 45mm and both featured a historically correct dial, the 190 brings a lot more w/ the JLC 8 day Power reserve movement and the addition of ...
You can't go wrong with the 190
IMO Good luck with your decision, and happy hunting. This message has been edited by Davo on 2010-04-11 23:31:08...
