232 vs. 190

It has been done with the 312 and 233, but what about these....

Both uber delicious in their own right and chalked full of history & PAM DNA. But which one do you choose??

On Tapatalk, so can't vote

I'd have to go with the 232 since I'm not a big fan of sub dial on Panerai watches....

You know the one I've been hankering for, Mik. However, getting the 190 back in the mix has been something I've considered if I can get the 372. It would be a good way to change things up in the PAM rotation. The second hand and sweeeet 8-day movement.....

made this choice when I picked up the 190 late last year...

just a more versatile piece for daily wear..

gold hands+JLC movement = ultimate daily PAM

unless you throw the in the 249 into the poll

I think the 190 would be more wearable for me given its 45mm dimension.

My two favorite Rads by a mile. You can't go wrong with either...if I had to choose one, it's the 232, but I'd love to own either.

Well, 190 is close to SE numbers. Only 2056 made (including the 6 OORs)

I must be the only here that doesn't rate the 232. Yes it's got history but it's basically a 210 with gold hands. I chose the 190 due to lovely JLC 8 day movement, 45mm size and seconds sub dial.

I think it really depends on what your own watch wearing habits and how the 47mm will fit into your collection.

I personally will probably keep the 44mm and the 45mm for dailies and the 47mm will be for special GTG or WIS events.
To a non-WIS, the 47mm on my wrist is huge.

its a win win all around though...

After I just got my first rad, the 210, a week ago. Now, If I want another rad, it would have to be something like 190. I just like the sub sec, and power ind in the back.

I prefer the look of the 232, the size of the 190.
