Panerai 190
Hi ,
I am lucky enough to have a 190. Mine is on the vintage brown alligator OEM strap, and every time I wear it it just brings a smile. Fantastic movement and execution without going to big (232 and 249 anyone?) Probably cheaper to buy than a 249 at the moment with all the madness surrounding that watch. it would be a watch that I would find almost impossible to replace if I was silly enough at any point to sell it (hopefully never, but there you go). One or two are definitely still about in AD's in the UK, don't know about anywhere else,
All the best
Tim
Radiomir Black Seal VS 8 days//
hi folks, These are comparison of both Radiomir Black seal against 8 days,which one would you go with??or anyone have both???for those have two,please share your thoughts? BHK9
Pam 190 8 Days wins >>>>
Without discussion! LOL 1/ You have a JLC movement, a nice one, 8 days P.R in the 190, with the PR indicator in the Case Back.Discret, and Elegant. Instead of an ETA in the 183. 2/ Esthetically speaking, the "Maiale" on the dial is not my cup of tea, and ...
I assume all the 190's.....
are sold so they are only available through secondary routes..?? Or might you find a small dealer with one left new..?? Andy.
Since Panerai stopped the production in early 2007 >>>
With a little luck, maybe you can find one in an AD's . The most evident is that you'll have on secondary routes.... Hope this helps, my friend. Nicolas
Just out of interest what (if anything) replaced it..??
The 190 seemed to be a bit of an all rounder with a big following so whay stop it unless something else is there to fill the void.? There is the 268 but it has the date and funny power reserve indicator. Your always helpful Nicolas - you know that... Andy...
My AD might have one still available. He called me 2 weeks ago.
A couple of brief points. The 190 for me hands down is a much better ride . Gold hands, incredible movement, well designed Panerai dial. I would have bought the Black Seal only if I didn't have the money for the 190. Wait , I didn't have the money anyway ...
