I blame Mike and his new 372 thread. Incoming!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks again to Mike and his 372 thread and it reminded me how much I needed the 190 AGAIN! This itch took about 5 years to scratch and man... it feels sooooooooooooooooooooo good to finally scratch it! Few bumps along the way with a career change and after some level of stability, I am finally back with this baby. Man.. is it worth the wait! Legendary butter smooth winding is head on and the combination of the gold hands with the rad case is silky sleek to look at... what a beautiful piece. Thanks again to Yoel and Ken for making this happen!

Great weekend to all our good friends here!

Best,

Fred/NJ

If (no, when) I get a Radiomir again, it'll be a 190. Congrats Fred!

Thanks Mike! After reading your thread I began to look at the 372 and the gold hand reminded of the 190 I have always wanted. Price is a bit soft in this market so I said what the heck, let's bite the bullet and just enjoy it! For a 6.5 inch wrist, it fits great.

Now I will take her out to dinner and see if I can get some "manly" and "sexy" compliments!!! haha!!!!

Congrats on having your itch scratched 190 is always a beauty to look at. Bet It feels even better when wound and worn. Enjoy
