Three Rads
Actually I find the 232 and 249 to wear quite similar but neither are great daily beaters for various reasons. I had the 232 but sold it shortly after I acquired the 249.
The 190 has a great movement even though Panerai has never been about the movement. It can be dressed up and down so that is a plus. Also it is still relatively cheap vs other Panerai in-house 8-10 days movement watches.
If I had to rate these three Rads it would be 249>190>=232. But it really is personal preference.
What I found interesting is why 000 over 112? The 112 has a sandwich dial which I thought looks nicer.
Thanks everyone for your input.
Which PAM Combo to choose???
Its either one or the other (can't afford all of them for now). #1. PAM 249, 190, and 112 #2. PAM 232, 190, 219, and 000 Thanks for the advice and opinions.
I'd choose #1
If you can mix up #1 and #2 to 3 watches, I'd keep the PAM249, PAM232, and PAM0. Cheers, Anthony
Yes, yes, yes.
Mix those selection with 249+232+000 and you'll get the nice collection. Cheers
Why?...
Hi. I am new to Panerai, so excuse my question to Anthony and Krieng, but why would you leave out of the equation 190? I am interested that two experienced people have left it out and chosen other Unitas-based watches over the JLC-based, gold-handed, sand...
Agree with you, BCL
The 190 is not a watch to switch in a nice collection... Why? Because this is the only one in 45mm with : A very nice Movement ( not an ETA like the 183, Black Seal ). A nice and historical complication ( 8 Days, like the Angelus )... So, I would keep the...
I have a soft spot for Radiomir... (and) my first Panerai
I am still trying to locate a 190. I love this piece. Meanwhile, as I was writing the post above I received my first Panerai. It is not as "hot" and collectable, but I am quite in love with this simple beauty....
Still have an eye on it for you, my friend
But it seems that the bird is quite difficult to find... Very nice pic of this 210! Best, my friend! Nicolas
Primarily for aesthetic reasons
and also potential collectibility which is a second factor. I like how the 232 looks over the 190 even though the 190 has a much better movement, but for me, aesthetics always takes preference over what's inside making the watch tick. For many other peopl...

Many probably prefer the PAM0 over the PAM112 cause of the PreV logo
above 6 o'clock. A lot of PAM's have sandwich dials, but only a couple have the PreV logo Cheers, Anthony
