Funny you should say that...
Can't tell if you're joking, but for those who might not know, the 190 gets up to its full 8-day PR in very few winds, actually. The winding is "buttery smooth". The 233 in comparison will wear out your fingers in getting it to its full PR.
New addition… a Panerai and a JLC…
...in one watch External goodness and brilliance within. ....
One of my very favourite Radiomir, Drew.
A great movement, a nice case with ideal dimensions, and a fine dial. The Laboratorio de ideas at its best, to me. Bravo! Nicolas

I can attest to Butter smooth winding and...
...takes no time at all to reach full PR. Best Drew
Congratulation, Drew.
One of the modern(non tribute type) panerai I have on my radar. Very nice. The movement inside makes the watch so much better. Regards Tyler
Thank you Tyler..
…the JLC movement has a lot to do to my purchase decision. Best Drew
Congrats !
Great addition. The 190 seduces me as well. Now I have the strap, time to get the watch .......
Congratulations!!
It's a beautiful piece. And these golden hands, hmmm....difficult not to like it. Best Fabio
Indeed a wonderful union.
I remember learning about that watch before it was released from then US Panerai President Philippe Bonay. He told me... "we are launching a SS Radiomir with gold hands... and an 8 Day JLC movement". I'll never forget the conversation.
Thanks Micheal...
"SS Radiomir with gold hands... and an 8 Day JLC movement" is a recipe for a seriously Kick A** Rad. Best Drew
Years of staring at your amazing pix of the 190…
..Has a lot to do with my acquisition, Davo. Best Drew
Glad you got this one!
I never regretted getting for my mom her 1st Pt watch, the 198, and she enjoys it so much too! Cheers Stephen
Are trying to say my 190 is a ladies watch, Stephen?
Just kidding :-p Thanks for the comment, Bud Best Drew
