I would go with the 210
Hello Jerome,
I would go with the 210 as it looks like the very first panerai that went in production and also looks like the 232.
On the other hand, as both watches are mannual the 183 is more practical as an everyday wearer as you can see when the watch stops because there is a small seconds subdial.

183 or 210 for my first PAM!
Hi, I'm on the way for my first PAM after years of lurk. I'm on the budget side so choice is between 183 and 210. Can you please post a pic (only one each) of your choice and say why you choose it over the other! Thanks a lot! Dje ps: pictures of 190 are ...
Jerome, I would choose the 210.
I cannot post a pic because I do not own one, but the true spirit and allure of Panerai IMO is the base configuration. I admit that I would rather get the Luminor case over the Radiomir but given the two possibilities - 210. Asi
Hi Jérome,
I do not have one of these 2 Radiomir models (but a PAM 190). IMO, for the mentionned budget for a first Panerai, as Asi said, I personally would have chosen a Luminor model and preferably the left handed one PAM 219. I know that is out of your question. ...
Rationale: If I understood,
you like (love) PAM 190 and I completely share your choice. In that way, keep in mind this watch for the 2d PAM. A Radiomir elegant, dressy with Sub-dial second and 8 days RDM JLC movement. Another Radiomir base will remember you, it is not the PAM 190 of...
That's a quite acceptable logic, but apparently won't be mine
Anyway thank you for your opinion! Cheers Dje
Dear Jerome,
I am very happy to read that You and Your Wife have the same advice on Your first Panerai. In every case, You will enjoy for a long time. My very best for both of You. Cheers, patrickh
Hmm difficult choice IMO since this is ur 1st PAM
For me, my decision on either the 183 or 210 will also be based on what I want to get for my 2nd PAM. If ur 1st PAM is a Radiomir, will ur 2nd PAM be a Luminor? If yes, then u need to think about will this Luminor be a base? marina? chronograph? etc.? If ...
210, Jerome
The 183 is BS..LOL BS as Black Seal, of course! LMAO No, the essence of the Rad is the 210, if you have to choose between these 2... Best, my friend. Nicolas
183 and only the G series.
I like the sub seconds. `G` series because I found that the wording `Blackseal` at 6 o`clock looks more `appropriate`...imho, I had one before but traded for the 217,,, Cheers,
I'll post a shot later

Here are my wristshots
Both 210 and 183 are great to start with, just that 210 is cleaner w/o seconds hand and the additional "Black Seal"....

I like Both - 183 G
Hi Jerome, Glad to see you here. I will give you these pictures to start. I will look for the 210 pix next. Bill...
210 all the way
Jerome, I was in the same position as you are right now. At first I thought I wanted the PAM 50, but when I first tried on a Radiomir, I completely fell in love with it. With that being said, and only by looking at pictures I thought the 183 was my choice...
I Like Both - 210
Hi Jerome, They are two very cool and very special watches. Both will fulfill your need. Elegance and simplicity. Bill...
First Marcus wants to get a PAM and now Jerome!
What is this world coming to? The rest of the PPro moderator team is sucumbing to the Panerai virus! So who's next, Art? Cheers, Anthony
another 210 here
Again, I do not think there are any losers here But, you did ask... I love the simplicity of the 210 and think the lack of superfluous dial print ("Black Seal") makes it the most versatile watch. IMHO, the Rad's lean towards the dressier side and the clea...
