Hey boys and girls,

I got bit by the PAM bug BAD!

I'm looking to pick up another PAM to complement my 104 and 116610 Sub C.

I don't want another standard Luminor case styling and was looking at either a Radiomir (210, 380, 183) or a Submerisble (24, 25, 243, 305) style.

What are your thoughts and opinions.
As always, pics are welcome

Def the Sub.

mfer · 15 February 2012, 09:19 AM

RAD!

They dress up nicely...

And go vintage better than any!!!!

toulouse · 15 February 2012, 09:30 AM

Can't go wrong with either, really. I'd say sub so you can save money using the same straps between that and the 104 you have (unless you go 47mm).

subtona · 15 February 2012, 09:33 AM

Rad

m_reign · 15 February 2012, 09:35 AM

243 or 305!

rebel_1 · 15 February 2012, 11:43 AM

I picked Sub before I saw that you already owned another PAM & a Sub C. A Rad would also be a good fit with your current lineup. I have two Luminors and a Rad would be my next pick. Especially if it had an inhouse 8 or 10 day movement with a date and power reserve indicator.

Rad... sub looks like luminor in a way with the crown guard.

zlin08033 · 15 February 2012, 12:57 PM

Radiomir = Clasic

mfer · 15 February 2012, 01:01 PM

More Rad!

Looking at Mik's pics is making me change my mind

Cru Jones · 15 February 2012, 08:39 PM

personally? rad. but, both are great.

bcacncnc · 15 February 2012, 08:43 PM

For me - given my wallet size - easily one of either 210 or 292.

210 - looks bloody fantastic and best bang for the buck.
292 - well - its cool, and to get into ceramic stuff, its the best entry price point in the PAM range. Plus its just so different. Makes you feel like Batman wearing that thing...

Shade · 15 February 2012, 11:35 PM

Rad gets my vote!

Nope. It was made for 3 years. G (550), H (1000), & I (500) and a tiny OOR run (6) for a total of 2056 watches.

eric23 · 16 February 2012, 01:32 AM

I would take a Rad over a PAM Sub.

B. Doggy · 16 February 2012, 02:10 AM

I lean a tad toward the RAD.

Passionata · 16 February 2012, 02:17 AM

Had a Rad than sold for that

ocwatching · 16 February 2012, 04:15 AM

190 on JV...

TswaneNguni · 16 February 2012, 05:48 AM

Depends .... 232/249 or 243/305

VetteBandit · 16 February 2012, 06:10 AM

Had the 183, 210 and 24. If I had to go back I would go 183. The 24 was a fantastic piece, but just a bit to tall on the wrist for me.

TSW · 16 February 2012, 06:33 AM

Rad

stockae92 · 16 February 2012, 06:38 AM

I like crown guard

even though i usually would go for manual wind, but in this case, i want to keep the crown guard and go for sub

rennisk · 16 February 2012, 07:11 AM

I have a Radiomir 183 and absolutely love it... [Well, I also love the PAM 88, 250, and brand-spanking new 114.] Like the 114, the 183 has a classic, simple appearance that you can dress up or down with the appropriate strap. The other thing it has that I can't part with is the sandwich dial. what a beautiful and classy design. If I can get some time I'll post some pictures of my "stable".
