Dear friends, I am in a dilemma and cant decide what to get. It's that time of the year wherein my wife asks me what I want for my birthday and she knows more than anything else that it has to be a watch. She goes with me to the different ADs and see what I want and pretends that she enjoys looking at different watches. This year Im looking for a Black Seal. I already have 2 PAMs, the 212 and the 000, which are both Luminors. I want to get a Radiomir for a change but I cant decide. I have seen the 292 and it does not really sing to me and I am stuck between the PAM 183 versus the 380.

Looking forward to your suggestions

183 for me

Cru Jones · 25 March 2013, 07:54 PM

btw those two and if the price is relatively close, 183 for me (i think the logo works better for luminors). if you would go pre-owned, maybe consider a 210? i think the 232 is at a higher-level, price-wise.

For me the 183. Here is my first Pam and newest addition on new black croc:

Thanks guys for the suggestions and I know this will really help me with my choice.

For me, the sandwich dials work so much better on the Radiomir case. Therefore the 183 wins for me! (380 is applied dial).

wingku · 26 March 2013, 12:55 AM

183 looks awesome man! Go for it!

alexlt730512 · 26 March 2013, 01:10 AM

183 for sure

Survivor · 26 March 2013, 01:38 AM

Break away from the crowd........when everyone says 183, go for the 380!!!!!!

nick c · 26 March 2013, 04:03 AM

183

Watchdog · 26 March 2013, 06:18 AM

Sandwich dial for me.

nycpassat · 26 March 2013, 06:23 AM

Just in case you decide the 292 sings back to you...

jay_kay · 26 March 2013, 06:25 AM

183 G serial!!! Sandwich does suit the Rad case much better!

blueangelfightr · 28 March 2013, 04:19 PM

Since you already have a 000, get the 183. Sandwich dials do look good on the Radiomir.

Btw, I own the 380. Since it is my only PAM, I wanted a painted dial and the logo.

shnxx · 31 March 2013, 02:58 PM

183 for sure.

amygdala · 7 April 2013, 12:57 AM

I finally pulled the trigger on the 183 my friends. Thank you so much for the words of wisdom. I even got another strap so as not to use the original strap that came with it. Again thanks

mfer · 7 April 2013, 01:07 PM

Great choice! Looks great, especially with the zero!

Thanks guys! Strap hunting season is on again!

Any recommendation?

shnxx · 7 April 2013, 05:14 PM

JV Nubuck is a nice option.

I would go with some custom straps.

Like matte black/grey crocodile.
