Hi everyone!
Here's a newbie question for you. I have an opportunity to purchase a PAM 183 G. I understand that the "G" series of the Black Seal are the first modern ones, and are different from all the rest to come because of the placement of the words "Black Seal" at 6 o'clock on the dial. I understand the Movement is decorated differently also.
1. I was just wondering if there is any benefit to getting this Radiomir as opposed to a more recent one.
2. Has the movement or anything else been improved over the last few years?

I read that 'collectors' might like the G series one in the future because it looks different, but right now it seems like the same price as any other series.

Anyway, Thanks for all your help and insight...
Stephen.

Pretty much the same price (maybe a few hundred more). If I had a choice between a G and a non-G, I'd take the G. Love the Panerai Radiomir at the top. Much more like the desired 190!

You can see the 190 (middle) compared with the 210 (right). I just think it looks better when both are on the top!

You mean your other left for the 210, otherwise known was the right.

I have no idea what you are talking about!

Mine says "right", you must have changed it to make me look bad!

BTW, middle is still middle,.....right? no wait, left....anyway. The two RADS!

Dude, the 190 is a KILLER watch to have. Regret selling mine....

agreenspan · 22 August 2011, 08:22 AM

Well.... I just found out that the 183 G is sold :-(
Oh well - I can wait.... lots of people have real problems.
Anyway, what is a good price to pay for a pre owned complete set PAM 183 in near mint condition? The 183 G was $4,600. Is that good? What do you think I should be looking to pay?

agreenspan · 22 August 2011, 08:23 AM

BTW, that 190 is a real beauty!

I was just offered the 183g! At 4.5k... Is it worth it? Lnib of course..

agreenspan · 25 August 2011, 07:45 AM

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

Shade · 25 August 2011, 01:37 PM

Well I think it may not be worth as much as I thought it would be... hmm... I hardly notice the difference.
