Can't decide between a PAM87 and a 210

[Badger]

Any one have any experience with either? I'm thinking of Joshua's 87, which looks pretty good but my concern is how good is the date magnifier. Also on the 210... love it, but via the display-back, the Officine Panerai is obscured by the caseback. How much is obscured since pix don't always illustrate properly, since this is the only visible dead give-away.

Thanks!

I've said it a 100 times, and I'll say it 100 more. You CANNOT beat the Radiomir cased watches for their versatility to go between casual and dress. Throw a nice GeF brown cordovan on it and wear it with jeans, swap on a nice black 'gator and wear it with a suit.

The base dial 210 is a little dressier, IMO, than the 183. However, both can be dressed up/down quite easily.

I'm serisously contemplating getting a gen 183 after we close on our house. SERIOUSLY contemplating.

Good luck, I'm sure you'll love it, whichever you choose.

P.S. - Don't sweat the misaligned text on the movement, if someone knows enough to notice that, they'll notice the overall finish of the movement isn't up to gen standards, text or no text. :wink:

Whoa this was a while ago but.... 183 vs 622Q?

Meh, not a fan of those new CG-less cases, personally.

So, I'd still go 210.

Sorry I actually meant to say 210 vs 622Q..... so guess you answered that

Im having a tough time choosing. Def like the 210, but the 622Q is a realllly good price right now. I assume they will keep making the 210 for a while now, wonder if the 622Q in a few years would be a rarely seen example?

Good question. Sadly, I don't have an answer.
