I currently have a 243 on rubber and 372 on a Gunny and am looking to add an additional style. I'm not a huge fan of Radiomirs and their crowns tend to dig into my hand.
I'm looking at:
092 Arktos (Noob) - $139
252 North Pole (Ultimate) - $218 although both have similarities to the 243, I like the GMT function.
162 Panda style Daylight (Noob) - $218 (have limited reservation on the chrono. Limited as I most likely will never use the complication but like the watch)
I am aware to some degree of the flaws of the 162, still to me an excellent style. I have read in the past about issues with the bezel markers on the 092. Does that apply to the 252 as well? My initial leanings are towards either the 252 or 162. I have no watch in my collection near similar to the 162. While the 252 has similarities to the 243, it definitely is further from it than the 092 considering dial color. The 092 is attractive based on price alone.
What say you? Tell m your experience if you have any of these.
