ATEspo 0 Posted February 4, 2014 So I want to add a polished Radiomir to my Pamily but can't made a decision on which to get. My options: Pam 388 - http://www.rwg.bz/board/index.php?showtopic=61029 Pam 183 - http://www.p-cls.com/pn183o01-radiomir-blackseal-ssle-black-p-14794.html Pam 210 - http://www.p-cls.com/pn210n01-radiomir-base-ssle-black-a6497-p-14793.html Pam 210 w/ gold hands - http://www.p-cls.com/pn210n02-radiomir-base-ssle-black-a6497-p-14792.html I had a 380 before but I much prefer a sandwich dial. I also do not care about an open case back - whatever I end up with, if I decide its a keeper, I will send it out to Marlin for some movement magic (not the 388, I would have to live with that movement). Thanks in advance! CNY is almost over and I want to make a decision and get an order in when the TD's come back to life. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATEspo 0 Posted February 4, 2014 After looking at images on google, I may be going the 210 w/ gold hands route...something about the gold hands does it for me... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cogwatch 1 Posted February 4, 2014 I can't speak for any of the others, but I have the KW 388 and it's awesome. And it looks great at sunset........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheInthusiest 0 Posted February 4, 2014 183 Unless you like the date. Then go for the 388 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vbmrk 0 Posted February 4, 2014 The 388 is made by your favorite TD, why not just go that route? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cheesemonger 0 Posted February 4, 2014 I would have to say go for the 388. Quick shot of mine. Love this one! Rotor is a little noisy, but not too bad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ALE7575 24 Posted February 4, 2014 If you are looking for a Rad polished, KW PAM 388 is your watch When you get it, you will know what I'm talking about Nothing to do in finish and gen-like appearance ALE Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cannibal 0 Posted February 4, 2014 I had a gen 210 and had the gold hand conversion. IMO it's the perfect Rad. Base movement, clean dial, gold hands pop, and the 45mm size is very wearable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stupotseventyeight 0 Posted February 4, 2014 I've got a 210 with gold hands on order can't wait for the end of CNY. I really like the look of the base models. Nice and clean and simple. The gold hands are a nice subtle touch of bling Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frazzle 5 Posted February 4, 2014 388 is an awesome alternative to a 380. For me my 292 and 288 are my Rads for the time being and neither get the wrist time they deserve! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Frazzle 5 Posted February 4, 2014 183G is also a very good suggestion. I bought my father one from Toro a year or two ago for a very reasonable £70 with engraved movement. Suffice to say you cant get them for that money now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kleen™ 45 Posted February 4, 2014 Love the 388. But I also love the gold hands. 232 is the answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATEspo 0 Posted February 4, 2014 So is there a good rep of the 232? I may have to stay away from the 232 because 47mm rads are just a bit too large for me, the 45's fit PERFECT! I've wanted a 388 since it was released by my favorite TD but I am thinking I want a hand wind instead of the auto...only reason being is because I am OCD with the rotor noise and I have C&R a lot of auto's because of that. I've spoken to a few guys who have the 388v2 and they say the rotor is defienatly audible. Also, I may have missed it, but are there any reviews on the new 183/210's from the H-Fac? I am curious how close to gen the front side is. Thanks for the input guys, I am still not sure what to go with... :suck: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nofitstate 27 Posted February 4, 2014 232 for me, though I'd quite like a 288 at some point. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cogwatch 1 Posted February 4, 2014 I know some folks like it, but the gold hands on the 210 just look out of place to me. Like someone stuck them on from another watch. JMHO.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATEspo 0 Posted February 18, 2014 I am still trying to decide... I am half tempted to pull the trigger on the 388 but I feel like its too similar to my 312 as far as dial goes... The 210 with gold hands still has my full attention...I dont like the 183 anymore because the black hands are boring and I already had a 380, so I want something different.

ShadyManc 0 Posted February 19, 2014 288 or 388. ^^ this ^^ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ATEspo 0 Posted February 24, 2014 (edited) Ok, I am STILL shopping around.... I already had a 288, didn't care for the chronos at all, the 388 is beautiful but way too similar to my favorite pam (312), plus I much prefer a hand wound model... So I am really thinking about the 232 from DSN - http://s40.photobuck...2?sort=3&page=1 Its between the 232 and 210 w/ gold hands... I've never had any experience with DSN or his Rads, can anyone give me some input? Are DSN's pams on point with Noob/H-Fac builds? Lastly, is there a HUGE difference in size between 45mm and 47mm rads? I wear a 372 (47mm) and it fits/feels fine, the rads dont wear any larger right? 232: 210 w/ gold hands: Edited February 24, 2014 by ATEspo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Spankster23 0 Posted March 3, 2014 No, the RAD at 47mm fit/feel smaller than a 372. Much flatter on the wrist and overall comfortable. DSN watches are nice. His Pre-V PVD pencil case watches are the best out there. Really good guy to deal with as well. 232 is my favorite Radiomir hands down. Here is a nice Gen shot.
