183 or 210

Ok guys, the time has come for me to get a radiomir for myself... I just seem to have fallen in love with the radiomirs.. Be it the shape, the crown and it's not so thick as luminor case which makes it looks more dressy IMO. The best part is you can either dress up or down depending on the straps you choose.

I have shortlisted my next purchase to 2. It will either be 183 or 210. Can my good bros here help me out?

210 has lower production numbers meaning more harder to get at AD than 183. The second sub dail is much smaller than Luminor. Both are great. It's your call if you want seconds dial or not.

210 is base, with all 4 hours markers. (3,6,9,12) while 183 is same as 210 but with seconds sub dail and COSC certified while 210 is not.

I'm leaning more to 210 as it has a very clean dial... And I'm lusting after the 9... On the other hand, the 183 looks cool too and it's cosc certified... Price difference I think only about couple of hundreds..

I'd probably opt for the Black Seal 183 - i just wish it had a brushed case instead of all polished. What about a 292? :)

Later I will go down to my favourite AD to check it out but apparently they only have 183 in stock... Hard to decide.. Both are so nice..

I have both and have never worn the 210. The 183 just appeals to me more.
